My grandpa was an engineer at Goodyear. He wrote his thesis on the elasticity of rubber to graduate from MIT. My aunt has it, which I hope to inherit down the line, he died when I was very young and I don't have many memories of him.
My Dad was an Engineer at Firestone, he retired 15 years ago, but he was the Head Engineer on the largest tire testing machine in the world. To this day he still goes on tours every now and then of the plant where the tire testing machine is. He likes to quiz the tour guide on the facts about the machine. Engineers are a special breed for sure, lol.
