Bingo. The public awareness is nil. People who get paid a good wage have NO idea who Torvec is, even though they got the press releases and actually did coverage in the past. That will change very soon. The Moon shot wakes them up, even if they had no idea we are going back in 8 years. Add Chicago, school buses, Nissan, etc. and they have to backtrack to take it all in.
My opinion is that as awareness builds, it will be harder to keep it under $10, but for goodness sake do NOT buy or sell based on that.
Here's a thought. The local media gets all excited when a B list actor comes to town to make a low budget movie. There are compelling historical, present and future resources around this area that would make an eye-opening documentary. People don't understand how important tiny companies from this area were to WORLD events. No one thought they could amount to anything either. Because they hadn't 'heard' of them before.
Glenn Curtiss may make it to the moon yet. Boeing is one of the companies who submitted a proposal to NASA to participate in the new Moon base. William E. Boeing was running the families business, a LUMBER company, when he took a ride in a Curtiss seaplane. After that he started the aircraft company. If Glenn had been killed on his world record speed run of 136.3 mph in 1907, on his homebuilt cycle, who knows where we would be? Would Boeing have ever built the B-29 that Vernon helped to make go higher and faster than anything else flying? All the Curtiss history is available, all the Kodak and Xerox history and now Torvec. Rochester used to make cars. The Rochester carburetor was a legend. Make a DVD, win some awards, enter some festivals. Toss in the Playboy racing team and a trip to Sweden. I know how important it is to have a sports guy from EVERY TV station at the Superbowl, and the ICE Storm video was nice, but use the weekend crews. Maybe a TV station or a 'film'maker will realize this as the word gets out. This part of NY has a very rich legacy of changing the world. I think they still are.
I think the chances are good that tomorrow someone is going to take a photo of the team, that will be quite a keepsake. EOM
