Inventor of Aerial Safety Device Back Home With Family
LOS ANGELES AP reports Elmer Menkel, inventor of a tiny electronic device to prevent aircraft collisions, is back with his family after years of unbacked financing. He was found living on a Truckee River island near Reno and said a firm has offered market-ready support, with Disneyland as a promised visit. His wife Jean and children Jamie Christine and Ricky celebrated a quiet reunion as they listened to his plans and the hope of backing his “little black box.”
