Once again you offer a deep and delightful story. Loved it! Reminded me of my grandfather, the recognized inventor of Tampax, who could not market it and sold it for $3,000 to a German woman in the 1930's whose children and grandchildren benefitted from what was a break-through product. My grandmother remembers sewing the cotton together in the early stages. Dr. Earle C. Haas, a general practice doctor, lived to be 96 and died poor.
