  “Men are beasts,” and all the kids ended up being affected by that. His dad Morris was a beautiful guy; he loved gardening, and he was a true maestro of the earth. He had a great little philosophical essay about puttering: “The primary object of puttering is the passage of time with calmness and tranquility... One of the cardinal virtues of correct and inefficient puttering is saving everything; all junk is valuable puttering material... A true putterer never accepts pay for his stuff, advice or time; the satisfaction is in producing the needed things and fixing the fixable things, doing something for his fellow man” (Ballad of an American, page 8).
