I remember Mr Laskody from my childhood. He did electrical work for my parents and had all the patience in the world with us as we tried to help him do what we didn´t sense at the time was very dangerous work. He showed great skill keeping us occupied with the parts of the job that weren´t dangerous, but he didn´t patronize, and he loved to tease and engage in mischief. Fond memories.
