My dad dropped out of high school to become a mechanic for Firestone in Minneapolis. In the winter, his main job was to come in at 4 AM and put kerosene heaters under all of the Model "T" delivery trucks to ensure they could get them started. He soon realized that he had made a major mistake and went back and finished his schooling. After that, there was no way any of his sons were going to be involved in mechanics. Of course. my older brother and I were in constant conflict with him during our teen age years.
