I'm a retired metallurgical engineer with an interest in genealogy and history. I also find stories of inventions and technology developed in the past fascinating. We are all what we are because of those who lived before us, and we should remember them because of the contributions they made in our behalf. By honoring them, they are not forgotten. They are the memory of who we were, just as we are the hope of what our descendants can become.
