all four of grandpa's older brothers were explorers and died in remote places like tibet and the north pole. grandpa stayed home and was a freelance mathematician his whole life. even as an old man he went from city to city and made what they called 'calculators' for different industries. they were round or oblong and calculated with little windows like a slide rule. these days he would be a computer technician. because that's what he made... little hand held computers.
his father was german swedish.

in other words he was good with his hands too!
now I see the connection...
I think the DNA came down to your mother as a designer and then to you...
Did the brothers have families back home?? that's sad :frown: to die alone far away ...
