Nice story, Kurt! I'd like to think there was a little bit of mentoring going on there.
Back in the 60's, my parents got both my brother and I each a Craftsman tool box w/tools.
I still have my box and will post a pic of it when I get a chance.
I still have those tools too.
Things are certainly different now in so many ways.
I treasure the memories I have growing up and am humbled to have had such good parents.
