Edwards calendar salesman pursues perpetual time plan
Lt. Cmdr. Willard Edwards, a civilian Navy employee in Honolulu, tours the world promoting his perpetual calendar. He has pushed the idea for 38 years, gathering newspaper coverage in multiple languages, with a possible U.S. adoption in 1961. Edwards argues quarters start on Monday and include two leap-day “days apart,” while a Hawaii congressman vetoes the calendar.
