Sometimes we never know how sharing our hobby can affect someone later. 
About 8 years ago when one of my grandsons was about 14 I gave him a 
scanner for his birthday. I had forgotten about it until recently when he 
emailed me that he had passed his codeless tech exam and now has a license 
(and is studying the code now and planning for his extra). Only then did I 
discover how deeply the bug had bitten him by playing with that scanner.
