“I’m older. I’m retired. There’s some relaxation for me. And the water does that. Gardens. Flowers. And something new/unique. Could we incorporate solar energy? A panel might peak the interest of someone . . . spark a passion, a career pursuit. Who knows what type of engineer we’d be able to get out of that?”
