Bob et al,



For me, the issue is not time vs money. Of equal importance are quality and 

understanding!



When I look at my buddies' airplanes I realize that my electrical system is 

far better than theirs! And it's not just "my plane's better than yours", 

but mine is the "best-I-know-how-to-do" with failure tolerance built in.



When they are having electrical issues, I'm not! When they are suffering 

from EMI, I'm not! When their batteries are whipped, mine's not! And, when 

they are scratching their heads wondering what's causing a certain problem, 

I'm not!



I know just what I've got, how it is supposed to work, how it might fail, 

and what to do about it when and if it does! Now that is a great confidence 

builder and I have only one man to thank for it, Bob Nuckolls!



I tell everyone that will listen about the Aeroelectric Connection and this 

site. I show them all the neat and wonderfull electrical thingies built into 

my plane. They nod their heads in obvious approval and admiration and go on 

doing what they've always done (



Well, it's just not for everyone, is it? We are the lucky few. The chosen 

ones! We get to benefit from the wisdom and tutelage of the master. We enjoy 

the fellowship of the list. It's beautiful really.

    Careful my friend. Do you suffer from sleepless nights

    'cause yer head is busy considering a problem? Would you

    rather buy a new tool than go to a ball game? Are the drawers

    and shelves in your shop stuffed with junque you picked up

    at garage sales and industrial surplus stores? You may be

    a victim of "the disease" . . . now if some kid in your

    family or perhaps the neighborhood is really lucky, he/she

    may "catch the disease" from you. If that happens, you'll

    find yourself compelled to take on yet another "project" in

    an already too-full schedule.



    I'll suggest that few projects offer greater opportunity

    for satisfaction and excitement than to see someone

    come thorough a door you've opened and then watch them

    run way out ahead of you.



    I visited my most cherished teacher in California a few

    years after I graduated from high school and he left Boeing

    for AeroJet General. I'll never forget the disappointment on

    his face when I confessed to having bailed on college.

    I don't think anyone had higher hopes for me than did he.

    I've been ever mindful of that look on his face and vowed

    to make sure his faith and efforts on my behalf were not wasted.

    Of all the people who I might wish to visit with today, it

    would be him. He succumbed to cancer a few years after I saw

    him last. He is gone but never forgotten.



    It's my observation that the terminal phase of "the disease"

    is to become fondly remembered as friend and teacher. The

    longer the terminal phase lasts the better . . . so start soon.

Not really. But I do put myself to sleep building airplanes in my mind! I 

try to work through an upcoming task or problem as far as I can by 

visualizing each step as I lay in bed. The next thing I know, the alarm 

clock is going off, it's 5:30AM and time to go out to the garage and DO it! 

It's better than Ambien!

Oh heck yeah! I've never understood the attraction of sports, so this one is 

a no brainer. My friends marvel at my 'lectric tool kit(s). "You're so 

organized!" Well, if I didn't keep the tools all together, I wouldn't be 

able to find them when I need them at 5:30AM )

Actually, that sounds kinda cool! I love to teach and folks say I'm really 

good at it. Last summer I held ground school (I'm not a CFI) every Saturday 

for 10 weeks to help the guys at the flight park study for their Sport Pilot 

tickets. The trucker that I told my wife wasn't going to make it is the 

first to complete his check ride and get his ticket! He approached me right 

after his check ride and, in a humble and appreciative way, thanked me for 

helping him achieve his dream. It was great!

May I go one step further, and ask all of you who had a great teacher 

sometime in your past to please go THANK that teacher for what you 

learned.  I did that last year with 2 of my best friends in high 

school.  We all 3 decided that Mr. Palm had been the greatest teacher 

in our lives and that we needed to find him and thank him.



For me that involved flying to Frankfurt, Germany, and driving 2 

hours south to Karlsruhe.  He was now in a wheelchair but was so 

excited to see us after 35 years, it brought tears to his eyes.  I 

suggest he won't have to *think* that maybe he made a difference in 

someone's life; he will *know* he did.



Photos of "then" and "now".  As you can see, you're always still a 

kid to your teacher:

With the Internet, Google, and online white pages, it's now much 

easier to find people from your distant past.

While everyone else calls it the junk of life that is collected, I call

it the treasures, and each treasure has its story on how it was found,

scavenged or otherwise taken from its original intended use and put on

the shelf just in case I need it someday!

We should start a 12 step program on this....

   Point well taken sir . . . and I'm pleased that you were

   able to get the job done. I mentioned earlier that my most cherished

   teacher died a few months before I relocated him after

   a long period of isolation. There were many things

   I would have wished to share with him . . . not the least

   of which was my appreciation for how he influenced my

   life.



   I attempted to assuage my guilt for ignoring him so

   long by relating my story to his widow. I've not thought

   about this for years and it took some digging to find

   the file which I'll share with my friends here on the

   List.



http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/comentary/Ed_Fistor.pdf



   Please use this posting as a demonstration and strong

   suggestion that if you have a story to share with

   a cherished teacher, don't put it off lest the only

   interested listener become his/her survivors. The

   risks of total disconnection grow day by day. Get

   it done SOON.

I had a super math teacher two years in high school. I went back twenty 

years later and ran into him. I told him sincerely that he was the best 

math teacher I ever had. It was obvious it made his day.

   Dr. Dee has been teaching at the college level for

   a relatively short time but even now, she will occasionally

   come home cruising 6-inches off the floor. She'll then

   relate some experience with a past student who has taken

   the time to express their appreciation and enthusiasm

   for what they acquired in her class.



   This ladies and gentlemen is a return on investment

   that every teacher appreciates above all else. If you'd

   like to see their energy and resolve sustained so that

   good work is continued, your feedback is an important

   constituent in the nutrients needed for personal

   new-growth. I was exceedingly fortunate to realize

   the benefits I received from my teachers early on.

   For some of us, the realizations may come much later.

   The 'net's research tools are pretty powerful for finding

   people. Go find your best teachers and stroke them a

   'bit. You'll both feel better for it.



   Bob . . .
