He once came to my condo at 510 Crown and tells that he dropped pliers and wanted to see if it landed on my porch. I was thinking such an old man and doing the handyman housework. And every day, going to work I was passing by historical JP Morgan building and was thinking that it is full of construction workers, all of which were working for his son.
