Nope - it did not come across that way! That is extremely interesting!!!!! I absolutely love history, and have some interesting history in my own family. So which is your ancestor? Elias Howe or Whitcomb Judson? - or Gideon Sundback?

[Longchamp]

Gideon Sundback patented the zipper. He was working w/ Whitcomb Judson.

It's my amazing what is out there w/ our relatives. I love to hear about it also, if you would like to share.

My story isn't as good as yours! The zipper helped mankind.

Years and years ago my uncle patented a detonator for bombs that allow them to explode just off the ground.

Your travels sound devine, especially Polar bear viewing!!! I also love Paris, but much prefer the south of France, especially the provence region, I try to go there every year. And the food in Thailiand is definitely TDF!!!

I was so shocked to see penguins on our last trip to Hawaii! I kid you not! At a resort at Honolulu! It was awesome!

Nah, that is great! We have inventors/discoverers in our family, and you have to celebrate the creativity and how these items have helped us live better.
