To the Editor: RE: “Park Rapids man turns junk into riches; Donates bicycles to area children in need”.
When I was a young boy, going to daycare was so much fun. I got to play with my friends, meet new ones and play with new toys in a new place. Going over to Sharon and Tom Condiff’s house was a new experience every day, but the memories that make me smile now are of the times when grouchy old Mr. Condiff yelled at us for reasons I do not remember and having to sit in time out, anywhere from 1-10 minutes. We all thought it was torture, because we were kids and hated discipline, but it did us good. And now that I am a father I can see there it was all coming from. This article made me chuckle. Everything from then to now I understand a lot more from going to daycare and being scared of him, to going to church and becoming friends with him. He is an amazing man and I commend him for doing what he is doing. I remember my mother selling him our old van; he came back to us a few weeks later letting us know that we just needed a few parts to fix it and it ran like a champ. I can see where, and why he loves to tinker; all of us guys do! He is an amazing man and I wish him all the best. Mr Condiff, keep up the tinkering and putting smiles on our future faces.
