He was a mechanic that worked on cars and ran a small shop when he was young and probably never dreamed women could be an asset in his business

To try and get to know him. He was career military and lived all over the world. He was quite a man. He had sons so he didn’t get to know or teach daughters but I’m sure I’d have been under the hood with him in a different time!
