STEPHANIE'S BIRTHDAY!
Stephanie Kwolek would have been 98
today. You may not know Stephanie's name
but, perhaps, you should! She was a
Pennsylvania girl born in New Kensington
who had a deep interest in science and chemistry.
Stephanie eventually went to work for the
Dupont Comoany where she became an inventor.
A pretty good one at that! She was the 4th woman
named to the National Inventor's Hall Of Fame!
Her speciality was making strong fabrics. She
invented one that actually replaced steel in car
racing tires. Of course it eventually had another
use, far more beneficial for many. Her invention
was called Kevlar, the main material used for
Bullet Proof Vests! Just thought you ought to
know! Hope all your NEWS is good!
