Below is a newspaper clipping my grandmother saved from, we think, around 1961, about a makeshift oscillating bed that her father, my great grandfather, “Hum” Reynolds helped make for a WWII veteran with poor circulation to one of his legs.

Digging out the storage at my parents’ house and found some evidence of a 5th grade science experiment on heat absorption 🤓.
