My favorite science experience was going with my father and uncle on Saturday mornings to the Pendergrast Chemical Company. Saturday afternoons were spent hunting through junk yards for pumps, pipes, motors, and so forth with Dad and Uncle Bob. I had my Handy Andy Tool Kit and could take apart anything I wanted to and, for a couple of cents a pound, could buy the most amazing stuff!
