He may have worked as an aircraft inspector but his passion was illustration.

    Oh definitely. He loved nothing more than drawing and painting, although he was also a great woodworker. He made me a couple of relatively complex wooden toys when I was a kid.

    He sounds like he was incredibly talented.

    He was. I wish I had an ounce of his talent.

    Why do you think you don’t? I find talent runs through families. It often manifests in different ways generation to generation, but it’s there. Maybe you just don’t see your unique talents and skill sets as on par with his, but I bet he would. 😉

    I'm afraid if they still exist, they're hidden somewhere deep in my mother's attic. He made them more than 40 years ago and died 30 years ago. But one was an alligator skeleton on wheels that you would pull and it would snake around and the other was a large Noah's Ark with a hinged top that he filled with plastic animals.
