HI SK, There's no doubt that when we see our offspring perform well that it justifies our not drowning them at birth!! My father and I did a variety of things together, but never had that unique experience of sitting in the same business meetings. Although both of us were involved in the same industries at various times, they never overlapped. As a boy, I remember heading out to the Painsville, Ohio salt mines. These are redeposited, highly purified salt domes that extend out under Lake Erie. Dad sold high horsepower speed reducers, couplings and other mechanical power transmission equipment back then. He sold to the steel mills, coal mines, taconite mines, breweries, and this salt mine (all good Great Lakes activities). I don't think I was any older than 10, but since it was a weekend, I got to go down into the mine and under the lake. It made quite an impression on me! I still have a chunk of clear salt that weighs about 3 to 4 pounds that I got to take with me that day. I finally began to understand what it was that my dad did to make a living once I saw the pieces put in place with the whole package. Maybe those "field trips" that I took are part of the reason I fell in love with capital equipment during my own "working career." You once mentioned that your son hung around here at SI. Does he still come around once in a while? Best regards, Tom
