Located on the United States Patent and Trademark Office campus in Alexandria, VA., the National Inventors Hall of Fame is a small but very interesting museum. There are 500+ inductees but as we discovered, there isn't anyone representing Wyoming! Hum....there must be someone from my home state holding an interesting patent, we'll have to work on nominating someone! Regardless, there were so many interesting and inspiring stories of people like African America physicist George Alcorn who invented the x-ray imaging spectrometer. His father was an auto mechanic who sacrificed so George could get an education. His son certainly honored that sacrifice! Here's a quote from Alcorn, " I'm determined, I'll work, I'll put the time into it. Going to work is not work its an adventure. I'd much rather have adventures."
