Dad was a good man in most ways and a bad man in just a few. He told me "If you aren't pissing off 10% of the population, you aren't doing anything worth while." Of course, he also said "Son: Sincerity is the KEY. If you can fake that, you've got it made." He was an excellent electro-mechanical engineer with many interesting devices to his name. His finest legacy is in the form of two perfect live steam train engines, both 4-8-4 Northerns. One standard guage and one O-guage. Both have been fired and run on propane although they were more often run on compressed air from tank cars, pulled behind, made from converted propane bottles. These engines were made, not from kits, but from scratch in his machine shop over many years.

This picture was probably taken on the front steps of Grandma Crammonds house in Lansing. [Glen] hadnt been born yet, and Dave and Jim were around 9 and 11. {Dorothy on the left, Grandma Crammond right, Dave center top, and Jim front}
David and Jim taken in the summer of 1941 by height markers on the garage. You can see that Jim had reached 4 ft. tall and David was about 3 5-1/2 tall.
July 1949 Jimmy, Dorothy, Dave in the back and Perry B, Eva, Charles E in the front.
JIm with the movie camera he made from cardboard, toilet paper or paper towel tubes, erector set parts, and optics from Edmund Scientific. The cardboard was soaked in glue and layers of paint to strengthen and protect it. The electric motor had a rheostat for manual speed control. It did work and did produce very respectable films.
