Wow, that was a great article about Charles Taylor. One of my sons has a lot of those traits - he’s been a tinkerer since birth, a jeweler, a watch maker and currently works at Honeywell in Clearwater, FL. He says he can’t tell me what he does or he’d have to shoot me but he works in their precision instruments division. His biggest thrill when he got the job was, “Daddy, I get to make all my own tools!” I’m definitely sending this link to him. Thanks so much for posting!
Yes, that was a great article. The bicycle shop and their family home when they were kids was moved and is still standing at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
I walked into the bicycle shop and there’s a propeller that Wilbur hand planed. I was nearly in tears, what an emotional experience. I’ve heard stories a piece of the original Wright Flyer went to the moon with the first astronauts.
