           AN EARFUL OF HISTORY!

  I suppose many of you are thinking about
Chester Greenwood today! And rightfully
so!
  Old Chester's invention came in pretty
handy for some of us over the years and
many a mom will be celebrating this
special "holiday" created in his honor!
   What holiday? You mean you didn't
know? Why it's "Earmuff" or "Chester
Greenwood Day."
   Maybe you just didn't hear about it
because your ears were covered?
   December 5th is Chester's Birthday but
the 1st Saturday of the month is the
designated day to celebrate!
   Chester Greenwood patented the
"Champion Ear Protector." According
to the Holiday insights web site they
became know as ear mufflers and, later,
ear muffs."
    I've know my wife to carry and
wear a par in mid summer when I've
got the Miata top down and there's a
cool breeze towards dark. Or when I
set the car's air conditioning system
to a level that's comfortable for me
but too cold for her!
    If you see anyone wearing ear
muffs today you should probably
congratulate them for their knowledge
of history and the importance of this
anniversary.
    I think Chester would be glad to
know his invention has survived and
prospered over the years....at least in
some climates!
    Hope you won't be needing your
ear muffs too much this winter and
that all your NEWS is good!
