Luther R. Jeffries, Jr.

He loved his grandfather, Cap'n Bob Jeffries, who was an oysterman. From the time Luther was a young boy, he was building, repairing and always planning his next venture. At age twelve he had a repair shop, fixing electric lamps, toasters, etc. for the families in his neighborhood. He grew to be a businessman but seemed to be comfortable in sweatshirt, jeans and engineer boots with a welder's torch in his hand, building one of his inventions.
