That brings back so many memories of sitting the rain (and snow) watching our kids soccer games.

Up here in Ypsilanti, Michigan, Elijah McCoy around 1872 invented an automatic lubricator for oiling the steam engines of locomotives and boats. Lubricators were a bonus for railroads, allowing trains to run faster and more profitably with less need to stop for lubrication and maintenance. Although McCoy was a master mechanic and engineer trained in Scotland, in the states he could only get a job as an oiler for the railroad. Working in that capacity, he understood the need and his invention helped the railroad industry enormously.

Fredrick Douglass and a (white)woman by the name of Victoria Woodhull were running mates in the 1872 presidential elections. 3) And I'll give you this one for free...My grandfather George Clinton Key (1907-2003) was one of the last survivors of the Tuskegee Syphilis experiments. The last survivor, Ernest Hendon died in Jan. 2004. I think what you are doing is great...it invites people to think further than "who invented the peanut" and "who invented the stoplight." Much respect to you! Great…I love free gifts, but more importantly I love to share knowledge…Here I go!
