Sounds like your uncle did end up working for the company again, if only for an hour or day.
Hopefully at a really high hourly rate!
I'd do it just to style on the new guy, start with something like "ah, so humanity has lost the skills that we possessed in the days of yore..."
(TL note: this is in reference to companies refusing to up the pay for their skilled workforce, and ending up paying more to new guys that'll have to learn it all from scratch)
Nah. Everyone knew everyone back then, and my uncle loves sharing his stories. Basically all he did was tell that then-eight year old story, which still holds up.
