Before she died, I asked my Great-Grandmother what she thought to greatest invention was.

She replied quickly, "Oh that is easy, the electric starter on cars."

She was a tiny thing at 19 years. She would have to wake her brother up at 6 a.m. to start the car, so she could get to work.

She hated having to wake him, but she could not crank it to start.
