Yup, Feeb failed 3rd grade math.

Never really thought about that much, even though I learned later that 
Dad was a 'radioman' (Infantry Communications Sgt).  But putting that 
together now, it makes sense that I'd sometimes tag along with him to 
the local hardware store with some TV vacuum tubes to test to find which 
one(s) need to be replaced to get the TV running again.  I can also 
recall chastising him when he was helping with some wiring on my first 
house, where he hadn't thrown the breaker before starting work - his 
comment was "110 only tickles, but 220 throws you across the room".  I 
learned after my first 'tickle' to cut off the power (if one can) on 
household stuff, plus after working in the HP lab that there's a lot of 
hazards in the field...one of my earlier projects was to clear space in 
the lab for my work, which involved safely disposing of several tons of 
capacitors left over from another project ... think it ended up being 
around 14 pallets worth ... and thank God I found someone who actually 
wanted them, so it was a transfer instead of disposal ... I suspect a 
lot of them were probably filled with PCP based oils.

No idea, but IMO probably unlikely.  A neighbor teaches in the local 
High School, so I'll ask if they happen to know.  But I'd suspect that 
if it has survived at all, it was probably relegated to the Vocational 
school 20-30 years ago.
