(1,925 posts)I've saved so many to send to the family...but.. you also brought tears of remembrance today...
I had forgotten: but my Dad would teach my sister and I about construction starting out when we were very little.
We would watch over what he was doing, one holding a screwdriver and another holding a wrench, to help him.
He was a mechanical engineer, a WWII vet, and every time he helped with physics homework, he would say with a smile..
"Let's keep this simple" He was a very patient and encouraging teacher...
But one of his teaching phrases as we were older and actually helping with construction..
Was as katz says, from that era, "Remember, measure twice, cut once". He died at the age of 92 yrs.
Thank. You, SCE. and to you for sharing with us, your great uplifting Sunday LOL Cats.
