Protek & Teflon

[Eugenia Carter]

Hi John,

Bill has certainly given us a lot of creative stuff, but this one wasn't
Bill's original idea; he just marketed it when no one else did. Jim Harvey
demonstrated it at a NCRC in 1986, and I think he said he stole it from
Frances Mahaffey.

Maybe Roger brought it with him when he came over via the ark, right Rog?

(I'm gonna pay for that <g>.)
