“If you ever have to operate a forklift, the first thing you do after starting it is LOWER THE FORKS. I also learned another lesson: Life is hard, but it’s harder when you’re stupid. Dad worked my brothers and me assiduously to teach us the value of work and to incentivize us to go to and do well in college. But I know he worried about us, because some of the work we did could be dangerous. It was also exhausting.”
