Grandpa was the first HVAC technician in our family.
My father was telling me about our family history last week.
When I told him I wanted to follow in his footsteps and be an HVAC technician, he was very proud. He was telling me how grandpa was the first HVAC technician in our family. I knew grandpa was an HVAC technician, but I didn’t know he was the first. My dad told me his grandpa was the first HVAC technician in our family. He was the first HVAC technician in our area to open an HVAC company. I thought this was super cool. Great grandpa was in his eighties now, and he had never mentioned that he was an HVAC technician. I couldn’t wait to go over and visit and talk to him about how HVAC was different now that it was in his time. Dad told me not to bother great-grandpa. He was in the nursing home and needed his rest. I listened to this piece of advice about as well as I listened to his advice at any other time. I just didn’t ask him if it was okay to visit great grandpa. I wasn’t there five minutes before I started telling him I was going to be an HVAC technician. Grandpa quit staring into space and smiled. For the next hour, we talked about HVAC, and then he got tired. He told me he needed to rest, but asked me to come back again real soon. He enjoyed talking to me about HVAC and how things were changing. He may not still be an HVAC technician, but he’s got so much knowledge that I knew I would pick his brain for a long time.
