    His favorite pastime was when his father allowed him to disassemble old toys and put them back together. He had even managed to dismantle Aunt Bel's old computer!

    His fascination for how things worked was insatiable. He especially loved fan blades, and every time he saw a fan, his imagination ran wild.
