PBS' "An American Family" Bill Loud's Advice to Kevin

Bill Loud patiently and proudly gives business and travel advice to his second eldest son, Kevin, before he sends him off on a long trip to Sydney with his business partner. Kevin is interested in learning the family business, while his youngest son, Grant, is set up with a summer construction job with a relative because Bill is trying to teach him about responsibility, since he does nothing more than sleep and sit in his room and strum his guitar. Very pro-active father. Bill and Patty were very frustrated that none of their kids were interested in education. Patty met Bill after graduating from Stanford and Bill did many years of service in the Navy.
