I learned how to swing a hammer from a firemen my dad knew. This guy was a carpenter, plumber, electrician. My first thought was the guy probably wasn't much good at any of them. How wrong I was. When he retired from the fire department he taught all those subjects at the college level down in Florida. Andy Mish passed away a couple of years back. He was an amazing man and had a heart as big as all outdoors.
