All grown-up, the boys decided that they should start making some serious money to provide for their expanding families. The boys decided that they salvage small scrap metal pieces, nuts, and bolts from junkyards and salvage yards which Harry would design and Dick would cast and weld into decorative art pieces. Tom will raise money from friends and family and look for distribution channels. Dick has astep-daughter, Dorothy, who is 16 and mechanically inclined as well. Dorothy could be Dick's apprentice. Harry's wife, Helen, is a recent BBA graduate from Yorkville University specializing in marketing and she could be recruited to help with sales and marketing. Helen's good friend, Fern, is an award-winning designer with a national home decor chain who the group might be able to induce to join them. Tom's twin brother, Tim recently won the lottery and is pursuing his dream to be a photographer.
