I was one of those kids that was always taking stuff apart. My dad was
always fixing stuff around the home too. He was a plumber, well at least
he was in the plumbers and pipefitters union. Mostly, he worked on large
building air conditioning ducts in Hawaii and radar defense systems on
Pacific atolls which would be as far from Mario and Luigi as you could
get.
