I almost made 2nd generation. Dad was geared up for me to take over so he showed me how things were done from a young age. He used to carried me while I cried and laughed on his lap as he worked on his bench. I still remember playing with his tools. Instead I took to the bigger hammer and enjoy driving big nails into lumber instead. After college, I was introduced to some of his friends to start me up with a sales job throughout the country. Taalked about a target, Thinking about it for bit, I decided against it. No thanks. I was flattered that they trust me with their merchandise, ahh no way.
My father is the same way, he still make things in his garage workshop for the grand kids. I even use it sometimes for stuff. Its funny how my sister, mom, and myself (my wife included) are not interested in Jewelry. Thank goodness for that. Love me Timex.
