My construction boss and I were both heavy readers. My machinist boss was a heavy reader. My dad didn't complete third grade and was a heavy reader. Oldest brother was a drop out and knew American history better than the average professor, was even invited to guest lecture in history classes. I had five brothers and exactly ONE wasn't a heavy reader. Odd, none of us graduated high school. One of them is an expert in Greek and Hebrew. Not as expert as he thinks he is. But, better than average. I'm used to people from pure working class backgrounds with less than high-school educations being readers and extremely well informed about anything that caught their interest. But, I knew pot smokers too.

I left out alcoholics. They didn't read either. And, damn sure: There were plenty of both. But, no; I grew up with the idea that tradesmen were well read and intelligent.
