Hey Guess what?
I just found out I'm a patent holder. For what, I don't have a clue.
  Seems to avoid the company he worked for, my old man signed my name on 
some patents in the 50's and 60's. Maybe some of the ones I drew when I 
was a kid which was my introduction to mechanical drawing. What do you 
recon? A patent holder.  Geeze, I wonder if I have any royalties due?? 8^)
  So, how would you search the patent databases by name?
    yours, Scott
