Thanks everyone,

I got my love for this country from my Dad. He taught me that always support those that want to help the country grow stronger and not weaken it by giving away the things that made this country great. He taught me early that we were headed down a bad road when we started buying foreign made things instead of American made things. He said one day this country will be owned by people that don't even live here, they will take all our jobs, and make us a third world country. These and many other things he said and could forsee are now coming to pass.

One thing he told me to always buy an American car. As I grew up he always had a GM car, he said they made the best, and we never had any problems with any we had. I learned to work on my own cars by helping him with his. He changed his own oil, performed his own tune-ups, and could tell just by listening to a motor run if it was tuned correctly. He had a knack with all kinds of machinery, Not one time did he ever get stumped by a machine that wasn't working right. He could fix anything. Growing up during the depression he learned not to toss anything out that could be used later.. If you look at his basement he lived that till the end. Old mowers, electric motors, various electronic devices. and if he didn't have a particular tool when he needed one, he either made one or figured out to modify a tool to do the job.
He had several patents, and with just a 10th grade education woked his way up to be a Plant Manager.

Like I said, He was a great man, and if only more people were like him this country would be better off today.
