Brett read Nikola Tesla's autobiography before it was cool. He wrote me a message in code after we went to see the movie The Prestige. (In that message, which I eagerly and easily decoded, he asked if we could be more than friends, but this is entirely besides the point of my comment.) What I came to say is I guess Thomas Edison was plagued by a scarcity mindset and took the credit for a lot of Tesla's ideas, kind of like Marconi did with your Stubblefield.
I feel pretty lucky myself to have you and Brett to put the record straight when it comes to science.
I think we did during an inventors unit in science. But you forget that the historical marker for his birthplace is right in front of the family business. At some point, I had a book with biographies of local heroes, and he was one of them. So I had a mild obsession with his story around the 5th grade.
I love these! Also, sometime I want to hear about how you accidentally joined the FFA club. :)
That is definitely a story that wants to be written, Bethany!
You never fail to pull me into your world with your writing, Elizabeth. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for those words, Heather. I'm glad you enjoyed these!

These are so fun 😂 I love the strategy of giving the Murray Time and Temperature phone number instead of your own . . .
best (ink)tober ever.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
The time and temp number. 😂 I can’t believe it’s still kicking. And yes, I remember 753-6363.
Did they also teach you about Nathan B. Stubblefield over in Marshall County?

I don’t think I ever knew that about his birthplace marker! Nor that you were a Stubblefield expert. I should have been consulting you for this story!
