Ha ha, Really ? He lied to everyone on the board claiming that the periodic table was misnamed by ever university/ college in the world. He didn’t even know what the word “period” meant and he was too lazy. Another hilarious fraud.
You lied.
Born in Granite City, Illinois, a small steel mill town, I am the only child of a father who was a welder in a factory and a mother who was a garment worker, cook, and hospital cleaning lady, neither of whom went to school beyond the eighth grade. Just as I graduated from high school, Gene Armes, my older brother by my mother's previous marriage sent me a one-way bus ticket to Orange County, California where I have lived since high school. He will always be my hero for giving me the chance to go to college in the wonderful climates (weather and opportunism) of California, where I earned degrees in chemical engineering and business administration, MBA.
In college, I met the love of my life, Christi Chase, married her and celebrated our golden wedding anniversary, during which time we traveled the world, taking my mother, her parents and five younger sisters, and my two older brothers and sister and their spouses. We are proud parents of two daughters and five grandchildren, all brilliant. I am a licensed pilot, certified scuba diver, marathoner, licensed commercial real estate broker, and residential investor/developer who still plays tennis almost daily for exercise and enjoyment.
While I penned the draft of Brilliant Creations over twenty years ago, I put it on the shelf after being discouraged by a dear friend and former professor. Upon recently learning (I'm a slow learner) that I could publish it myself on Amazon, I proceeded to do that simultaneously with opening a patent search on a new tennis racket design which would help millions of players improve their games with the simple modification of perimeter weave stringing. The patent search revealed no prior art and my invention advisor has submitted it to manufacturers for commercial production.
It is now a very crazy time in my life, and I'm in over my head but I'm a good swimmer.
