My father raised myself and others with a deep sense of community, but this town was one of the first in the area for affluent African Americans in the afternoons after Civil Rights.
It is a prosperous area, but still slow to develop its own companys plus infrastructure… My father was one of the first around here to have such a successful corporation ,and he constantly made sure to re-invest in the community; Since his forte was air conditioning plus furnaces, he started to offer free classes on those subjects in his shop on weekends.
He had numerous full time Heating, Ventilation plus A/C techs working for him at the time, plus collectively the many of them shared teaching duties, but now, don’t get myself and others wrong in saying that these were classed about air conditionings, I am talking the bare bones basic stuff, and learning about air filters, how they work, plus why they are so crucial to keep clean. They discussed thermostats, plus not just the mechanics of them, but how to use them properly for correct temperature control. All of these classes taught them a little something, but gave them larger ideas than just air conditionings plus furnaces. We wanted to give them some practical wisdom to use around the house, yes, but all of us also wanted the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C education to be a jumping off point. If some of them end up wanting to get into Heating, Ventilation plus A/C work, that would be great, but all of us are just encouraging them to learn. Heating, Ventilation plus A/C work isn’t just mechanics, it involves science, math, plus thermodynamics, plus all of us are trying to expand your minds.
