Worked 33 years for one company as a machinist, built a summer home with only hand tools and a generator thirty four years ago. Does his own car repairs (still) and is skilled at electrical, plumbing, tiling, roofing...etc. He drives and maintaines ( his baby) a fifteen year old Jeep Cherokee that hasn't a spot of rust.
Everyone has talent and can do something better than the next guy.

Which gets back to my OP, people do not lose skills and in fact as you have pointed out regarding your husband and yourself, they acquire even more skills.
