Goodyear and Sikorsky

<p>In opposition to the world's indifference, I offer some words of thanks for the zealous innovators who came before I did.  In particular:</p> <p>Charles Goodyear, a man who endured perhaps as much as any innovator ever did on his way to triumph.</p> <p>Igor Sikorsky, a man who escaped the Communists and achieved his dream of creating the first mass-produced helicopter.</p>
