Many realize that in 1879, Thomas A Edison successfully demonstrated the first electric light bulb, ultimately revolutionizing the world.

What few realize is his youthful engineering lab assistant named Frank developed the theory of the defibrillator later that same day when he stuck his finger in the light socket to see why the bulb ceased working.

And that my friends is how he came to be known as, you guessed it...ElectricFrank

Where else but the PaceMaker Club can you learn so much?

 

 

Can't wait to see the reply!!!!!!

 

my laugh for the day patch. bet you did not know that yours truly lives right across the st. clair river from where thomas himself discovered the light bulb. yes port huron michigan sits right across from us and is built on lake huron and the st clair river. so it is a small world. can't wait for frank's reply. hugs jessie

 

I forgot to mention that the Wordsmith who documented all of this historical data for posterity hates being called Wordsmith and shortened it to the more informal Smitty.

And now you know the rest of the story...Good day

 

Thanks Patch I sure needed a pick me up and I had double laugh on this one
