No way in Heaven could I get into the shop classes. But wait--there's More...... Meanwhile at home I was making my own baseball glove, playing baseball and making stuff with the "Nest Of Saws" my mother bought me for $1.00 A few years later I was working on cars-- who taught me? Me.. And I would get sexist comments from SOME of the guys -- the others were polite enough to show me messed up/broken parts of their cars and ask what they could do about them. I never made fun of them, told them what needed to be done and also added some positivity to that specific era. I owned an old street-legal race car and I still have my 73 Chevy which I customized and maintained for over 50 years..... Reference ID: BX92594
