That's way cool.

My dad tossed me at 17. I would have left anyway.

I went from Anchorage AK to panama City Florida...I could not GET far enough away....put myself through a 900 hour machine shop course there while living in a travel trailer with 3 friends and a whole lot of cockroaches.

In his last days I got the chance to thank him for that...best thing he could have done in hind sight!
