diversification. my dad was local eaa chapter 90 president and my
grandfather was(mom's side) an a&p (airfeame and power plant) lic.
mechanic/inspecter. grandfather on dad's side was owner of a hotel/bar
outside hellertown pa. . mom was a nurse and dad a retired school teacher/
sports car &nascar&motorcyle racer.
so i can with theese influences ..get drunk, drive fast, crash, fix myself,
then repair what i crashed, after it flew through the air? lol!
honestly i have been offered a lot of wonderfull oppertunities that most
people never would ever have had. mostly due to my father's wanting to
travel and learn and (from a kid's point of view) dragging me along.
looking back from this point on my life i am very gratefull. remembering it
all from my childhood's point of view, all i wanted to do was go out and
play! by the time i was a high school senior i had traveled all of the
continental 48 states and canada and mexico. still have not gotten to
alaska or hawaii yet. i am starting my son on weekend trips to go see
vintage aircraft (he loved the pima museum in tuscon arizona)(that was not a
weekend trip) and train rides (where ever we can find live steam running)
and things like that. let alone what he sees in our garage. i may not be
as well educated as my father or mother. but i certainly can offer charlie
the chance to see a lot of things which might help him make some better
choices about where he chooses to go with his life. that's what it's all
about, right? oppertunity and knowing when to answer when it knocks.
chuck.
knock-knock.............................answer the door! it could be your
future .
diversity=instability? might be what makes wacky old chuck so wacky?
he-he-he!
