City kid, never raised around machinery; but as a youngster all the neighborhood kids would play at the Colombia Movie Studios Back-lot (about 80 acres) which was about a 1/2 mile from home. One weekend a couple of friends & I "found" a small Bulldozer (about the size of a D-3) that the Studios had been using to build a pond.

Never inherited any machinery - Father was an Insurance Company Executive.
