Edison

How different the world would be without the genius of Thomas Alva Edison, Time's Man of the Millenium, and Henry Ford, the father of assembly line mass production and founder of the Ford Motor Company. I could have traipsed around their summer homes in Ft. Myers much longer, but I did love my brief time there. Edison saw potential in the country boy Ford, mentored him, and they became fast friends. What interesting lives! I will be checking out their biographies from the library soon. Here is a picture of Edison's summer lab. I wonder what ideas he worked on while he was there.
