• Notes

  Grandpa Yoder had the most amazing collection of tools, wenches, torches which were the envy of any mechanic. He was always in the garage fixing or making something. He was never idle. even at 85 years old he worked for the town of Glen Avon California as the public water mechanic-engineer. His sons and grandsons and even a great granddaughter have inherited this innate mechanical ability. The need to know how it works, to take the gadget apart and make it better and can not rest until the problem is solved. As a younger man he was a school teacher then a butcher and lastly a mechanic at various places. I was told by my dad that grandpa wanted all of his kids to play some sort of instrument. He bought a piano for his kids to learn but Eleanor was the only one that seemed to keep any interest in it. That tradition resulted with my three brothers Bill, Mark and Paul playing the trumpet through High School and beyond.
