Forgotten Hits correspondent Chuck Buell (who just seems to KNOW these things!) tells us that tomorrow represents ANOTHER exciting anniversary that we should all be cognizant of.
(Far be it from me to stand in the way of important events!)
So now,
with this consideration in mind, we present this little piece of "news you can't use" from our in-resident Forgotten Hits Everyday Product Historian, Chuck Buell, who tells us the story behind this rather Sticky,
“Day in History …”
While working as a Chemist at a research facility of Eastman Kodak, Dr. Harry Cooper led the development of one of his many discoveries, the now-famous, “Super Glue,” which was introduced in 1958.
It was on this day, March 26 in 2011, that Dr. Harry Cooper died at the age of 94. ( The Guy knew how to “stick” around! )
However, some days later, as the service concluded at his funeral, it was suddenly discovered that his favorite Pocket Protector with his highly cherished collection of Mechanical Pencils and Ball Point Pens that he had instructed be buried with him was still lying next to the Guest Sign-in Book in the outer lobby!
Once they were hurriedly gathered together, an attempt was made to discreetly put them in his shirt pocket as he lay in state. It was then the pall bearers found to their dismay that the top of his casket had been Super-glued shut for all Eternity!
OK,
I might have made that funeral story part up but nevertheless, here in Memoriam
is my “Super Sticky Chuck Buell Minute Medley!”
