Remember Mechanical Drawing class with Mr. Nalepka & also Wood & Metal Shop classes as my favorites! Remember one incident in 9th grade when I was entering into metal shop class and one guy was trying to bust a combination lock with a hammer! I was about 10' away but when he busted it, one of the bb's hit my arm above the elbow & immediately a pool of blood was gushing down my arm! I went to the office to see the nurse & she freaked out! BTW you can still feel that bb in my arm!
