… Addendum

…   …   …   …   …

All is not lost on the long recovery for the father. He smokes L&M’s and uses matches to light the tobacco that seems to ease would be called anxious feelings in this day and time. He discovers on the inside of the match box an opportunity to make your dreams come true, an education. A study at home course within the fathers budget. He fills in the three blanks and mails the match cover, he will find the money, and he already has the time.

As the studies progress, the young father discovers the field of electronics as applied to aviation. He has no idea this will become his career choice, nor does he realize he will attend numerous schools within his field for the rest of his career. For now, he only knows he cannot lay in bed and wish for accidents not to happen.
