The gadgets and contraptions that we had seemed to require special skills when it came to repairs. Dad seemed to have specialists for different machines. For example, Et McDaniel was the man for the spray pump. Who were some others?
We all loved Larry Krease-the TV repairman. Eugene Healey-engines. Uncle J. Paul-cars. By the way, there was nothing scarier than coming home from school and finding Wallace banks taking up the entire hallway!
You guys read my mind. There was a hierarchy on cars though. If Uncle J. Paul couldn't fix it, you went to Marion Higley, if Marion couldn't fix it you went to the top, Eugene Healey aka Googenhammer aka Googer. If Eugene couldn't fix it, it couldn't be fixed. Wallace Banks was pretty scary and we really liked Larry Krease because then we could watch TV again.
When you talk about "Wing-Nut, it could be one of two people. Eugene Healey was at times referred to as Wing-Nut, but we also called Delaun Tischner Wing Nut.

Where did "Wing-Nut" fit into the hierarchy?

Soo What did you call Earl Carter?
Who was the guy who would inspect all of Dad's cars. If it could be towed to the shop, it passed!
Would that have been Lee Earl Healey ... over in PG? The Car inspector.
Earl Carter was "Air Hole".
