Spend time with your grandkids teaching carpentry, plumbing, how to check air in tire, parts of a real car. They might surprise you with their interest in Grandpas toys, hobbies and CARS. They will be the ones who might keep it alive.They are the ones who need to be impressed with the lack of Craftsmen, skilled in all the trades. They might chose a trade like welding where a great salary can be earned as opposed to a college degree.

Agree Dick; to help get out grandkids out of the "virtual world" we've started taking one grandkid on our sojourns to the Pacific Northwest in the summer. Lots of Jr Ranger Park badges along the way. Got the 9 year old helping in the garage and getting ready to put him on a little 50CC dirt bike (pretty sure his Mom doesn't read this forum, or at least I hope not!).
