Dupont chemist Stephanie Kwolek passed away: Age 90. She discovered the magic fiber while while searching for stronger-than-steel replacements for automobiles...KEVLAR in 1965! " I knew that I had made a discovery. I didn't shout Eureka but I was very excited as was the whole laboratory...we were looking at something new, something different and this was it!" I still wear my hot, bulky Safariland triple threat vest with shock-plate nearly every day and, along with countless police and soldiers who cannot ascribe to "the best armor is to stay OFF the battlefield", have gratefully settled for second best: (the vest), since '94. Even my thin gloves are Kevlar lined to prevent HIV needle sticks when conducting searches. Generally $peaking, when in full kit, I'm the be$t dre$$ed guy out there... and I get back home again! A real game changer! Forever indebted Ma'am: RIP!
