That one was a fun one. You know me, I try to connect an article with a story. My father was an inventor as a hobbyist. He invented the "playback split needle" for Victor Records when we lived in England. This invention shifted the standard split needle to what you and I know as Hi-Fi Stereo. I have fond memories of hanging out with him and his buddies in his studio. He also invented, along with Dr. John Hedley-Dent, the head guided helmet for fighter jets.

Another fun fact. I spoke with an English accent until I was thirteen. Three years later, I asked him to build me a Hi-Fi system. He made me build it from scratch. While in my thirties, I was introduced to the inventor of the Tactile Sound Transducer (dish) - a device screwed into an object, like a wall or furniture that turns the object into a speaker, which he installed into my home theater. All this to say, I too am fascinated with the inventions of formulating quality "bumps of joy."

I used to say, we need to keep history alive. Now in my older years, I believe it is alive and it helps formulate the future.

Thank you Stephen. I try to leave the heavy theology for experts like yourself and just stick with my observational/ commentary/ humor type posts, always with God's Word on my mind. Going to miss Charles Stanley for sure.
