Note in Regard to Uncle Tommy: My father was Valedictorian of this High School Class in the Seattle area

 In the 8th Grade he won an award for the best penmanship in the State of Washington and he also had the highest Math Scores in the entire State of Washington. In High School he was Valedictorian of his high School Class and graduated with honors in 1934 there.

So, this lends some credence to his experiences with Albert Einstein and Nicola Tesla that I wrote about.

My father wanted to become an Electrical Engineer and was very upset along with both his brothers that their father wouldn't let them go to college. However, he sent both their sisters to college to "marry a college man" which the older sister did. My Cousin who is a very successful Lawyer who has had cases before the Supreme Court of the U.S. is the son of my Aunt who married a college man who was a Naval officer during World War II.

However, as an adult and looking back on WHY' grandpa didn't want his boys to college you do have to remember that people with College degrees starved to death (literally) during the great depression living in tents next to rivers in the U.S. with not enough food to survive.

But, because Electricians are ALWAYS needed to fix electrical things or to build new houses, my father and his brothers ALWAYS had girlfriends, Cars, etc. so they had good lives when people were starving to death a lot during the Great Depression who had college degrees and could not get a job to save their lives literally.

So, I think I understand why my grandfather wouldn't let his boys go to college. It was because he saw how messed up it was for most college boys during the Great Depression. So, he made them all become Electricians working for him. Eventually Dad's older brother first became an Electrical Contractor after he got married and then later on my father in 1960 became an electrical Contractor too in Los Angeles.

Uncle Tommy was very very mechanical and intuitive about being mechanical whereas my father was much more intellectually gifted because of being Valedictorian of his high school class and other awards in the 8th Grade regarding the State of Washington.
