Happy Birthday Hugh!
We all hear the talk about American “innovation.” What is innovation? I suspect the bulk of it has little to do with inventing new products. But then ….
Some years ago my brother told me that he was working on a secret new product for his employer Procter and Gamble. I saw this as a challenge … could I come up with a great product for P&G? I do not remember if I ever told Hugh, but my imagination came up with nasal deodorant, “the answer for people whose friends do not care!” Guess what … someone has invented exactly this!

Meantime Hugh’s innovation was simpler and a LOT more useful … he invented the Spic N Span spout!
