Mike Greenawalt grew up in Sunnyslope off Third Street and Hatcher Road. He was 19 and messing around working on cars when a neighbor approached him one day.
“You need to be an electrician,” the neighbor told Greenawalt.
“I knew nothing about it, and I thought, ‘Hey, I don’t know anything about it. How much do they make? Obviously, my first question?’” Greenawalt said. “We had a conversation, and he spoke with my parents about it. That afternoon, my mom said, ‘You’re going to have dinner with Ed and Margaret.’”
