One day Quincy's frustration couldn't take it anymore. He burst into his fathers office, and told his father that he needed to know once and for all exactly what his father did. His father told him exactly what he had told him many times before, that he was in charge of making sure new bridges were going to be structurally sound. This was not a good enough answer for Quincy, and only left him confused. His father further explained that when new bridges are being designed, his father would make sure that the bridge would be able to withstand the various elements that bridges must endure . His father showed him a current project that he was developing. This only sparked Quincy's interest further.
