Default Re: My 91 Year Old Entrepreneur Grandfather…

[Posted by Jason Hatchett:]

Yes, my grandpa is quite amazing. When he was a kid he had a slingshot around his neck and his brother pulled on it and let go and knocked his front teeth out. Then he and his brother were chopping fire wood and his brother chopped off the tips of his two middle fingers. He also has been in a train crash and a car crash on the same day. Been struck by lighting. Had a muzzleloader gun explode in his face (he still has black powder embedded in his nose). Had an air compressor explode in his garage just when he went into the house. It blew a cinder block wall over a foot. His house caught fire and he put it out his self because the fire dept. didn’t make it there for 3 hours and the station is less that 4 blocks away from his house (He’s also a ex-volunteer fireman) and oh ya, he fell off the back of a fire engine and broke his back. That’s all I can think of right now but I’m sure there’s more. If he survived all that, old age don’t stand a chance.

Anyway, where do we go to get the patent pending application? I think we’ll get that first just for protection. I think a press release would be a great idea. He’ll put money into it, he really believes in this, he’s made over 700 of them. You should see the pile of them in his garage.

Thank You for all your help. I’m getting him a new computer and I’ll show him this forum. His wisdom is astonishing.
