That is really satisfying. I have had 4 neighborhood kids working in my
shop off and on since they were Cub Scouts building derby cars. Spent 12
years encouraging them to become engineers or scientists. Now they are
grown up. One is a banker. one is pre med and the other two are in law
school. At least maybe I instilled a little mechanical aptitude. :-)

I did something like that in the late 70's - Young man won the National
Science
fair - and got a full at MIT. He is a doctor now.

About 4 years ago a woman came to my shop looking for someone to
machine parts for her son. He needed the parts for a science project.
I tried to do the parts for free but she wouldn't hear of it. So I
just charged less. She didn't know what my shop rate was and I wasn't
about to tell her. Anyway, I saw this woman in the store the other
day, reminded her who I was, and asked about her son. He just got
accepted to both Caltech and MIT! He's going to MIT. I hope I helped a
little bit. Sure is cool to see people succeed.
