On one of our all-too-seldom visits to Uncle Harry's and Aunt Dodie's trim, comfortable home in Rheems, PA, my uncle brought out his latest creation. He called it "The Thing". It was a mysterious, cube-shaped, black, wooden box. When he flipped a switch, multicolored lights on the front of it started to blink on and off in various patterns. It was like something out of a 1960s science fiction movie! Uncle Harry had created "The Thing" in his basement workshop. Combining his experience as an electrician and his woodworking hobby, he'd come up with the crazy idea. As a young girl, I was fascinated by it, and my admiration for this fun and creative man increased.
Have a Question?
