True Grit

I got a lump in my throat reading Connie Schultz’s article about visiting the factory where her late father worked (‘A Different Kind of Genius’, June). Both of my parents held factory jobs, and my first job was also at a plant. After that first tough week, I appreciated the grit my parents had shown every day, and I was thankful for the sacrifices they made to provide for me. I’m glad that Connie now feels the same way. T.
