Is that considered a "scientist?" Sorta. LoL... His invention does, IMO... But you gotta be pretty old to remember! 😃 Two towns named after him roughly about 2,000 miles apart from each other... I didn't know how to answer the "Scientist" question. A neurologist is sort of but is more thought of as a doctor. If I said yes or no it would have set the direction so I said "he wasn't known as". Consider that a 35 yard punt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarence Birdseye? *No. Again, the guy I am thinking of was born in New York, in the Western New York sub-region of Upstate New York. Frozen foods was not his industry. But, his industry helped frozen foods. Sorry for the delay guys. My TRAIN was as little delayed. But, I SLEPT well last night. I just woke up. *[Clarence Birdseye is a good one! Wasn't BFLo at the forefront of the Frozen Food Business too with "Freezer Queen?"] Another hint: He plied his trade, literally a stone's throw from where I work. And sometimes those workers threw those stones!!! Too much of a giveaway? 😆 🤣 Edited November 24, 2020 by ExiledInIllinois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Indulge me for a second. So @Gugny and @BringBackFergy can see...😆 "Pullman was born in 1831 in Brocton, New York, the son of Emily Caroline (Minton) and carpenter James Lewis Pullman.[2] His family moved to Albion, New York, along the Erie Canal in 1845, so his father could help widen the canal. His father had invented a machine using jackscrews that could move buildings or other structures out of the way and onto new foundations and had patented it in 1841. By that time, packet boats carried people on day excursions along the canal, plus travellers and freight craft would be towed across the state along the busy canal." 😆 🤣 4 minutes ago, Greybeard said: Yes. Okay. Carry on! Individual sport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
