Through the next few years of teaching and having success with students working through and graduating the program Fred and Jim, who was helping put the legalities together for PATHs, kept in touch regularly. Among Fred’s dying dream of being a full time deer hunter and Jim’s dying dream of paying off his law school student loans before his children entered college a new, more achievable dream was born. Fred’s passion for working on cars, trucks and anything you put gas or diesel in and his aversion to business and finance melded with Jim’s business acumen and his ability to complete the most basic mechanic task like battery replacement after several hours and nine phone calls to Fred for instructions might turn into an opportunity for partnership.
