Woman who lived frugally donates $7 million to alma mater
She took a job at nearby Abbott Laboratories, where she would work as a secretary for 43 years.

It was early in her time there that she made a decision that would secure her financial future.

In 1935, she bought three $60 shares of specially issued Abbott stock and never sold them. The shares split many times over the next seven decades, Marlatt said, and Groner reinvested the dividends. Long before she died, her initial outlay had become a fortune.

We will have to wait, no doubt...about patents? I was checking out the other Award Nominees (Provectus) of the first conference being held on May 1-12 of this year in San Francisco. One company had like 325 patents (if I recall) and was still trading lessthan $1.75 per share. Now I will find that company again if someone wants me to but also recall them being in business for the last 20 years and I sure hope I don't need to wait that long. Almost 7 down this July or August that would put me at waiting another 13 years? NOPE no way as our technologies are beyond the typical spectrum as I see it regardless if someone says I am partical to HDC......SO WHAT IF i AM WHO WANTS TO FIGHT IT OUT WITH ME! ; )

re: above, 270 patents it is APNT -"Applied Nanotech" trading at .32 cents & has around 107 million OS as I recall?
