Vehicle Description
The 2018 F-150 body is up to 700 lbs. lighter than the previous generation, made of high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy. Not aluminum in the household sense, but heat-treated and hardened aluminum alloy — the same high-grade 6000-series used in big military and industrial applications. Beneath this aluminum-alloy body is a fully boxed frame made of up to 78 percent high-strength steel. The F-150 boats an impressive set of engines to choose from – ensuring you get the F-150 that perfectly suits your needs. Auto Start-Stop Technology is a feature on all F-150 engines. When you come to a stop, the engine shuts off to save fuel and restarts immediately when the brake is released. Designed smart for truck applications, Auto Start-Stop deactivates when it wouldn't be needed such as when you're towing a trailer or running in 4-wheel drive. With an available SYNC Connect - equipped vehicle, you can use FordPass to track your vehicle's location and remotely access vehicle features, such as start, lock and unlock, and vehicle status, including fuel level. The F-150 provides lots of places to store the assortment of things you carry inside the cab. You'll also find plenty of space to stow items in the door-trim panel bins and under-seat rear storage area — there's even space for a laptop inside the available flow-through center console.

About Legacybox
Plenty of people long for the good ol' days—times were simpler, they were younger and more carefree. They pore over black-and-white photos, slides, and VHS tapes to bring back fond memories. Few people, however, wax nostalgic about digging up all those items from disorganized stashes in closets, attics, and basements. Enter Legacybox, which helps customers digitize their memories with no more fuss than a trip to the mailbox.
Customers simply visit the website and choose a box based on the size of their media collection. A Legacybox then arrives at their door, ready to be filled with memories in various formats ranging from Super8 film film and hi8 tapes to 35mm negatives and cassette tapes. Once the box is packed, customers slap on a prepaid shipping label and send off the crush-proof container. In a few weeks, you'll get your original items back along with a DVD set. Upgrades can include a Digital Download via Legacybox Cloud and an optional thumb drive for an additional fee. These formats make your memories easy to store, preserve, enjoy, and share.

Branca Table
Mattiazzi, Italy
2010 -
The furniture range designed for Mattiazzi includes, apart from the Branca chair, a corresponding table, complementing the overall statement intended by Industrial Facility. In both pieces the design process was strongly influenced by the merging of elaborate craftsmanship with robotics. The Branca table employs a similar language as its accompanying chair, it evolves from the intention to provide a soft and inviting surface, supported by four natural ash legs. To overcome the solidity of the legs a chamfer is cut, starting 2/3 of the way down. Available in 2 sizes, the Branca chairs can slip comfortably underneath the table or rest on top of it if necessary, for floor cleaning. In 2012 a solid ash top was also introduced to the collection.

Tronco seating
Mattiazzi SpA
2016 -
Tronco is unlike our previous Mattiazzi designs that often have displayed a sculptural softness achieved by robotically removing material. Instead, its character is formed from solid planks of wood in what appears as very elementary construction, yet its simplicity is the result of iterative experimentation and a high regard for material honesty. It is made with the same extraordinary level of attention to detail that Mattiazzi is now known for. With Tronco, we are interested in the frisson between solid panel construction and the truly skilled craft of its making.
It has surprisingly natural comfort and works well in multiples, and not just alone. Its form is modest enough so that it takes on the appearance of 'texture' when shown in numbers. It lifts the atmosphere of interior spaces that
many chairs, whether it is a dining hall or a chapel and creates a terrain of its own in any architecture. It can stack 10-high on its own trolley and is connectable in long rows using a plastic connector. A range of coloured stains help to bring out the ash grain. The Tronco table is similarly made and chamfered at the edges so that it can join easily with others. With one or many, Tronco evokes solidity rather than frame.

Run Collection
Emeco, USA
2016 -
Run is a collection of tables, benches, shelving, and accessories – inspired by the collective, congenial atmosphere around public furniture like canteen tables, park benches, and library shelves. These typologies have the ability to feel natural for one to use and for many to share. Its materiality is recycled aluminium and Amish produced Ash wood that satisfies a multitude of uses at home, for hospitality or in the workplace. They are pure utility – resilient in material and timeless in form. It is made from simple, uniform planks and is specified simply by length of material, either aluminium, ash or cedar wood. The furniture can be used indoors or out and is available in 2440, 1830, 1220 and 830mm lengths, with corresponding Benches. Shelves are available in lengths of 1830mm.
For the Table and Shelf, specially designed accessories (Platform, End and Bookend) help to delineate spatial and functional divisions along a plank, and the gap between planks is seen as a benefit for passing through electrical cables. Benches have the option of a felt pad for added comfort. Run Tables are also available in standing or seated heights, allowing for different activities like communal eating or meeting. The projects entirety acknowledges the benefits of being around others. Welcoming, useful, resilient, and simple.

Plex Lounge Seating
Herman Miller
2016 -
Plex is a modular soft-seating program that allows the ease of flexible grouping with a compact seat that's designed for individual comfort. After extensive research and development, Plex is designed to support Office, Education and Healthcare settings. It is smaller than comparable soft-seats allowing greater planning density.
Plex consists of a series of units that each provide comfort and usefulness and can be combined with other units to make additional settings - a simple hook allows the flexibility to re-arrange settings, turning a communal gathering area into a lecture theater. It is engineered using Herman Miller's extensive knowledge of ergonomics, anthropometrics and comfort, and uses super-seat technology in its webbing - a strectched rubber membrane that adjusts to whatever posture you may take.
The seats can stay static with its wooden or plastic feet, move freely around with its wheels, or swivel with its swivel-base. Extra privacy for spaces where concentration and privacy are required, can use the Plex Club Seat height adjustable headrest. Stitching details have been designed to accommodate almost any fabric. Plex also has power. Both USB and mains can be integrated during specification, or added at a later date. And a lightweight height-adjustable Side Table is part of the collection.

Tubo Chair
TOG, Brasil
2014 —
TOG is an innovative furniture company that plans to build a community, combining industry with craftsmanship, technology and humanity. The company is the brainchild of Brazilian industrial group Grendene, with Philippe Starck as its Creative Director.
The foundation of TOG is to create a virtuous and unique sales system where the customer has the freedom to enjoy the distinguished design piece 'naked' - as proposed by the company and designer - or to apply their own personal mix of finishes and colors through a large platform of local craftsman. In the case of Tubo, we set out to create an advanced and economically viable recycled PET molding process, by working with the source of the raw material itself, that can then be freely customised.
The collection consists of chair with a variety of bases, along with working tables and mobile shelving. The chairs themselves are made from molded PET that is created from a raw blanket material formed from recycled platic bottles that would normally find their way into the waste stream. After a year of testing and analysis, a steel tool was developed that economically 'polymerises' and seals the PET into a semi-rigid shell. The shell is then supported by a spring steel exoskeleton that allows for comfort and movement.

In the interest of full disclosure, Pete Rathbun is a past-president of the CLS Board of Directors, so naturally he might be a bit prejudiced. Nevertheless, Rathbun's long involvement with CLS clearly comes from a considered and deeply personal understanding of his role as both a Christian and a citizen of the world.
Rathbun left a career in information technology to attend Georgetown University Law Center in the late 1980s. Upon arriving on campus, he immediately signed up for a CLS law student membership, "because," he says, it's natural for me to be a joiner and collaborate with others on a mission." In this case, the mission was to place the legal principles he was learning in a Christian context and explore their relationship to scriptural principles — how they aligned, where there might be inconsistencies, and so on.
Rathbun served as president of the campus chapter during his second and third years at Georgetown. Along with the fellowship, Bible studies, and charitable events he participated in, he's says his CLS affiliation helped him land his first job after law school. "We met local CLS attorneys at one event," he recalls, "and I happened to make a connection with a firm that was looking for a law clerk." Rathbun clerked for them during his last year in law school, then joined the firm full time, first as a litigation attorney and then in the nonprofit department, where he represented a number of churches and Christian ministries.
As he transitioned from law school to the legal profession, Rathbun says he "never considered not continuing with CLS. From early on, I had a sense that CLS was an important organization, because I believe that Christian lawyers should be able to work together to have an impact on society."
For him, that meant pro bono Christian legal aid work at the Salvation Army's residential substance abuse treatment center in Washington D.C. and at the Bowery Mission in New York. He now serves on the advisory board of Open Hands Legal Services in New York.
"Most of us," he says, "recognize that the world isn't all it was designed to be, and we want to be part of making it better. But it's so easy to lose touch with our youthful idealism once life and families and other responsibilities set in. Whatever arena we choose to run the race in, I believe we can be part of the redemptive work that Christ is doing.
"In the law, it's usually about winning the case, of course, but, more important, lawyers can also be witnesses to Christ and influence others. CLS has always helped me keep sight of this."

Hello again, after the horrendous debacle that was my previous released campaign (I'd prefer not to talk about that one), I've taken some time to rethink my approach to campaign and mission design, and decided to go and do something different. As I've announced in my announcement of an announcement, Ashen Wings: The Shadow Operations is best described a collection of short (one-mission) stories revolving around the important sorties of the modified Hecate-class destroyer Tyndareus operating for Special Operations Command (SOC), rather than a true classical "campaign". The time frame ranges from just before the Capella incident to many years after. This project is meant to show not the story of an event, but to show the highlights of a ship and a squadrons long career over an extended period of time. Through this method, all the "filler" is cut out and you only get to see glimpses of what is really going on in each event. You won't get to see, or necessarily even hear of the beginning and ending of specific happenings in the universe, but you will get to see a bunch of middles, and through them, piece together a bigger picture. The challenge is to present a coherent product, and to develop the characters and setting through all of this, something that I truly believe is possible, and leads to a unique flavour of campaign unlike any other. Every mission is a "climax" so to speak, and much care has been given to continously present new and interesting mission content. The missions in this campaign aren't even necessarily presented in chronological order, but are stringed together thematically through related events. You will sometimes be thrown into the action without any background, but playing through all the missions should make things clear.In all, it was an ambitious part of a more ambitious project, done in a style unlike any other, and I am proud to present you a completed product, a fifteen mission package.I'd like to thank the creators of all the custom assets I used in this mod to create the image of a civilization that is developing and changing, and thus the filesize is rather large for the amount of missions, nearing that of a total conversion. For a complete list, please consult the credits section in the techroom after you've completed the campaign, it is impossible to list all the numerous contributors here.Please don't look before you've played at least the first few missions though, since there are some really bad spoilers in there, and it'll probably completely ruin your experience. This work is a fairly delicate thing.I assure you that this has been extensively tested and that tester reviews have been nothing but positive. I hope you enjoy!Screenshots:(1), (2), (3)
...And, I forgot how much Realtek HD Audio Manager hates the new sound code. Not the mission designer's fault, but since I can't play this with 3.6.12 I will either have to wait or figure out how to fix the problem.

On a roll! (and short treatise on Names)
I think it's usually thought that on the whole, people a few generations ago used very few names, mostly very traditional, (except for the Puritans - I heard the other day of a Puritan child named Flee Fornication!) However, in my reading, I've found many names that would make the names of today that are considered "cool" or "unusual" seem boring in comparison. Also, nicknames seem to have been used a lot more and often the nicknames became the person's usual name.
These photos are found at AncientFaces.com. To find them there, please go to the site and run a search on the name.
For an example, see Green and Peas in the family below!

This photo was found in the home of Sallie Parton Austin. It could be of her family (Eli Burgess and Agnes Parton) or of her husband's family (Alvis Austin). Sallie's family came from Jackson County, North Carolina. Their family ties into the Parton, Sutton, Messer, McMahan, and Gunter families. Maybe some of these family members are in the photo. Alvis Austin's family lived primarly in Jackson County, Alabama.
This photo was found with some Clark family photos. Some people believe it to be Joel S. Clark, his wife, Mary 'Polly' Harmon, and their family.
This is a family photo of The Asa Bishop Family. The Bishop and Andress Families came from Alabama.

UPDATE!!! I am excited to add that a family member wrote to say:
"... I have a black & white copy (of the above photo), but have never seen a colorized copy!! Asa was my maternal grand father's paternal grandfather. (Joseph was his father). Asa fought in the Civil War at Chickamauga, Tennessee. He walked home from there to Tampa after the war. Sometime at the end of or shortly after the war he transferred into the Navy. He lived with his family on Sneed Island in Tampa bay where he worked for the US post-office delivering mail by boat up the Manatee River. He & his descendents were fishermen by trade & at one point supplied fish to The Barnum & Bailey Circus which was located in Bradenton (my grandfather was a small boy then).
Thank you for writing, anonymous family member!
I don't know if these four children are siblings or cousins - but I thought the photo was so cute I put it in anyway! Three of the names are Thomas Hanney, Margaret Hanney, and Katherine Hanney.
The Buelow family. Some of the names are Sandra Buelow, b 1941, Richard Buelow, b 1944, Barbara Buelow, b Nov 22, 1946, Erwin R Buelow, b Apr 14, 1904, and David C Buelow
This is a photo of the William Jackson Moore family, made around 1907 at the family home located near Dacus, Montgomery County, Texas. Left to right in the photo are: William Jackson Moore, older daughter Mary Elizabeth (Lizzie),younger daughter Corean, baby boy Robert Bryan, standing in front of his mother Rena Matchett Moore. Finally, the three older boys: Joseph, William David and Ben Rogers Moore. The family home had recently been completed when this photo was made.
Four generations of the Eperthener family - cool!
Imogene Gillespie, aged 30; Hypolite Emile Eperthener, 85, b Sep 18, 1847; Paul D. Shaffer; Paul D. Shaffer, Jr.; Leanore (Eperthener) Gillespie, 58, b Apr 4, 1874; Donald Jay Gillespie, 25, b Oct 3, 1907; Ethel (McConahy) Gillespie, 25, b Nov 13, 1907; Janet Lenore Shafer; Gertrude Gillespie, 27.
Louella Elizabeth [Woods] Braselton, b Sep 28, 1862
Morton Woods, b 1862
Serelda Jane Woods, b Aug 16, 1838
Will Woods, b 1838
Mae [Woods] Mauck, b 1838 (?)
Charles Woods, b 1838 (?)
Anna [Woods] Warren
Arthur Woods
Florence [Woods] Crawford
Ed Woods
If the birth years and names the contributor listed above are correct, it looks like there might be twin brothers and their wives, all four born in 1838. However, Mae and Charles look much younger than Serelda and Will so my guess is that Mae's and Charles's years are typos, and Serelda and Will are the parents of all the rest of the people in the photo, with no in-laws.
This is the Fairman family, in 1903. No other names are given.
Wood / Fishpaw Family. Some names are on the photo itself.
The contributer writes "I think this is a family photo of Samuel Ward and his family."

I am sorry it took so long for me to get caught up on the comments on here. I wish you had left another way to be contacted, as you are probably no longer checking this! Thank you for your fascinating information. I have added it to the main part of the post under the photo in case anyone else comes looking. I'm so excited that you found it and I hope you saved a copy of the colourized version of your photo. I got the photo from Ancient Faces, at http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/photo/354178. This is a good site to check for other people researching your family! Try here: http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/surnames/B/bishop abd add what you know, and find other members of your family! I hope it works out for you.

CREVE COEUR, Mo. (KMOV.com) -- Customers of a Creve Coeur based travel company say the company's presentation was good, but the deals were not. Endless Travel solicits customers through a direct mail campaign offering a complimentary cruise, but customers must claim their gift in person.
Once customers arrive at the Endless Travel they are presented an opportunity to purchase a membership in a travel discount club. Former customers tell News 4 the presenters offer a plan starting at $9,995 - but quickly lower the price to entice customers.
Sandra and Gale Rupp say they attended an Endless presentation in Creve Couer and paid three thousand dollars for their membership. The Rupps tell News 4 they cancelled their credit card the next day after noticing employees at Endless did not sign their last names to the contract.
Endless Travel has also put on presentations in other cities including Memphis and Cleveland. In Cleveland Pat and Jack Wolf purchased a membership for $4,750 dollars from Corie Wilner. They say Wilner promised them a discount at a specific resort for a specific week in Maui.
"We didn't get one thing except heartaches," said Pat Wolf.
The Wolf's complained to the Ohio Attorney General, the company agreed to a partial refund.
In Memphis, Jay and Sandra Blondis paid more than $6,000 dollars for a membership hoping to get travel discounts to Brazil. The couple says, "that's when we found out hotel prices were higher than anything we had been paying, the airfare was crazy." The owner of Endless Travel, Jack Keefe, says the contract signed by the Blondis family never guaranteed airfare or hotel discounts at all hotels.
Jay and Sandra Blondis tell News 4 their daughter used the membership to book a condo in South Carolina, but she did not get a discount. The couple claims they could have booked the condo on their own for the same price. The Blondis family feels the membership purchased through the company has been useless.
According to the Cleveland Better Business Bureau Corie Wilner also ran a company called Buckeye Travel. According to Sue McConnell of the BBB customer complaints involving Buckeye were similar to those of Endless Travel. "Feeling that the travel club discounts were misrepresented that you couldn't get the travel discounts they were promising," said McConnel.
According to the Tuscon Better Business Bureau Jack Keefe was associated with a company called Southwest Travel. Keefe accused the Tuscon BBB of a "witch hunt" when the Tuscon BBB began investigating complaints there. In an email to News 4 Keefe says he was a former employee of the company, and accused News 4 of a "witch hunt" for investigating complaints with Endless.
Endless Travel issued a statement saying, "Endless Travel offers a valuable service to the traveling public.

The Hunt (Jagten)
Films about child abuse are not uncommon; in the past few years, Doubt and Precious earned both critical and public acclaim. But a film about child abuse in which the accused adult is the victim is something rare indeed. Writer and director Thomas Vinterberg turns the abuse film trope on its head with The Hunt, a stunning, raw look at how lies and gossip can rip apart a small town and one innocent man's life.
The innocent man at the center of The Hunt is Lucas (Mads Mikkelsen with a performance that earned him Cannes' Best Actor award), a kindergarten teacher who forms a close bond with one student, his best friend's daughter, Klara. When Lucas rebuffs Klara's growing crush, the little girl acts out in a fit of anger, Klara tells another teacher that Lucas has sexually abused her (the film cleverly has Klara repeat pornographic expressions she overheard her teenaged brother saying). What follows is a manhunt that leaves audiences along with Lucas shaking with anger.
Unlike the aforementioned Doubt, there is never any question that Lucas is innocent. And this conceit brings with it enough emotional baggage to carry the film for its 115 minutes. As Lucas' frustration turns to despair and finally terror, so does the audience's. And yet, you can't help but sympathize with the parents and community as well. "Why would a child lie?" is one of the film's central questions, and while the audience is privy to the answer throughout, it is equally understandable why the adults are unable to comprehend this being the case. While it's horrifying to see an innocent man so ruthlessly persecuted, it's equally (maybe even more) terrible to think of an abused child going unavenged. So who wins here? The film asks the question but leaves the viewer to find his own answer, buried somewhere at the bottom of the giant pit building in his stomach.
In addition to the challenging moral questions it asks of its audience, the film is superlative in its casting. Mikkelsen leads the charge with his honest, lovable, and righteous Lucas, but not far behind is seven-year-old Annika Wedderkopp as Klara. With her endearing nose twitch and soulful eyes, she is such a natural on screen you sometimes forget you're watching a scripted film. Supporting actors Thomas Bo Larsen and Anne Louise Hassing (as Klara's parents) as well as Danish veteran actress Susse Wold (as Klara's teacher) help to further create a believable world.
But, as good as the acting is, The Hunt is more than the sum of its strong performances. It is the emotional rollercoaster from delight to dread to terror and back that the film takes you on that makes it one to remember. Or, more accurately, one that you'll find very hard to forget. Vinterberg's vision is one that haunts you just as Lucas' trials will haunt him long after you leave the theater.

A Big Pharma company tried to buy it and stick it on the shelf, because it conflicts with all of their drugs. They obviously did their homework and understood what the founders had. They only want to treat the symptoms, because they want to keep you as a customer for life for all of their expensive drugs.

Eagle Scout Candidate Selects Pinnacle Rubber Mulch for Ronald McDonald House Playground Project in Bangor, Maine
- LTR Products Donates Its Rubber Mulch to Playground Renovation Project -
Oct 25, 2010, 04:59 ET
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- LTR Products, a subsidiary of Liberty Tire Recycling and manufacturers of Pinnacle Rubber Mulch, has recently formed a partnership with a Boy Scout in Bangor, Maine who is working to make a local playground safer for the children who play on it.

To achieve the rank of Eagle Scout – the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouts of America – Sean O'Connor must plan, organize, lead, and manage a community service project. Sean has decided to renovate the Ronald McDonald House playground in his home town, which is enjoyed by almost 450 families who stay at the home each year. A key part of the renovation was making the playground surfacing safer and more low-maintenance. Sean chose Pinnacle Rubber Mulch as the new safety surfacing for the project, an innovative and eco-friendly alternative to wood mulch for landscaping and playgrounds that is made from recycled scrap tires.
"When Sean asked us to donate our Pinnacle Rubber Mulch for his playground renovation project benefiting the Ronald McDonald House, we were more than happy to provide him with whatever he needed to help make the playground a safer place," said Brad Pittam, general manager, LTR Products. "Not only are we proud to help assist this young man as he strives to earn his Eagle Scout designation, but we are also pleased to be able to offer families at the Ronald McDonald House a safe place to play while they stay at their home away from home."
"I'd like to thank LTR Products for their generous donation to my Eagle Scout service project," said Sean O'Connor. "I'm excited that my project will benefit hundreds of families who stay at the Ronald McDonald House in Bangor each year, and companies like LTR Products are making it possible for me help a great cause like the Ronald McDonald House."
LTR Products donated 7 tons of brown rubber playground mulch for the Ronald McDonald House playground. The mulch will remain bright and plush for at least 12 years, avoiding the need for the organization to have to replenish it on an annual basis, as is often required for wood mulch.
Pinnacle Rubber Mulch will also make the playground safer for children staying at the Ronald McDonald house with their families. In fact, as a playground safety surfacing, a six-inch layer of Pinnacle Rubber Mulch will cushion a child's fall from as high as 16 feet, providing up to 50 percent more fall-height protection than wood mulch using half of the material. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Council reports that more than 150,000 children are injured in playground falls each year, which makes safety surfacing one of the most vital components of playground construction. Additionally, rubber mulch is non allergenic, non-toxic and harmless to plants, pets and children. It is also clean, minimizes airborne dust and particles, and does not splinter like wood mulch.

Gary Bradley has spent a lifetime saving and protecting lives. Many people he has helped, however, probably have never seen Bradley's face.
Gary Bradley has spent a lifetime saving and protecting lives. Many people he has helped, however, probably have never seen Bradley's face.
Bradley, 74, is an inventor who has spent the past 40 years creating devices for the military while working at companies in the Arden area. Although retired, he continues to design and invent.
The Hendersonville resident recently was honored by the U.S. Navy for one of those inventions. He received the 2012 Navy Patent of the Year award for a part attached to a vest worn by gunners in Navy aircraft.
The invention is a safety attachment called a quick-release fitting. Gunners have to be attached to the aircraft, and Bradley's invention is the harness that attaches.
Bradley is a consultant for Survival Innovations Inc. in Arden. The company was started by Jason Smith, Leon Rhodes and Mark Trexler. Those three and other people, including Bradley, knew each other from other companies that have been in the area for the past 40 years.
The engineering of military gear is rich in this area, said Smith, who is president of Survival Innovations. The company was predated by companies such as Stencel Aero Engineering Corp. and Safety Equipment International, which is a division of Phoenix-based Simula Inc.
Bradley is the key to a lot of SII's success, Smith said.
"I'm pretty confident that we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the work he's done over the last 40 years," Smith added.
In that span, Bradley's name has been on 12 patents. The most successful is a low-profile flotation collar. The collar is worn by pilots and keeps them upright in the water after an ejection. It's a life-preserving device that is used widely in the military.
"If you're watching the military channel tonight, you'll probably see that collar," Smith said.
Other inventions that Bradley has led the way on is a head and restraint system, an inflatable head and neck support collar, a low-profile survival vest ensemble, a multi-chambered flotation device, a vehicle occupant restraint harness, a helmet head tracking mounting device, a safety harness and belt assys for aircraft crew members and a limb retention system for aircraft ejection seat.
Bradley is quick to divert attention, however.
"It's never just one person," he said. "You always have help."
While that might be true, Bradley is known in the military engineering world. People recognize not only his devices, but also the mind of the man who creates them.
"He is one of the most innovative minds that I know," Smith said, adding that he's heard that from well-respected members of the military and the nonmilitary world. "He gets a design in his head and he doesn't sleep at night."
In fact, his wife, Ruth, joked that he "designs in his sleep."
Bradley began designing as a teenager. He built a 1940 Ford from scratch at age 18.
"I was just a builder," Bradley said. "I built everything you can think of."
He continued to build race cars until he was drafted into the Army in 1962. He served until 1964 — most of that time was spent in medical research at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
He began designing prototypes of medical equipment. He designed a "laboratory in a box" that never went beyond prototype. It was a box that would be dropped by air into combat zones. He left the Army in 1964, but continued to work at Walter Reed for two more years. Then, he returned home to Hendersonville.
Bradley took a job with Stencel, where he worked for 20 years. He then worked at different companies until retiring when SEI moved to Phoenix in 2004.
Despite his lifesaving inventions, Bradley's pride and joy sits in a garage at his home.
Bradley built a Class A Motorhome about 30 years ago. He started building it in 1979 and finished in 1981. He built the engine, body and interior from scratch, logging 2,000 hours of work.
Whether it's race cars, motor homes or devices that save lives, building and inventing was the life he was meant to have, Bradley said.
"I've just been building and building all these years," he added. "It just comes natural."

Downsizing is a hard sell. The notion that a retiree should trade in a three- or four-bedroom family-sized home for something cheaper and easier to manage seems like a no-brainer. But lots of people just don't want to do it.
In fact, predictions during the financial crisis that Americans would shun McMansions in favor of smaller homes seem to have been off the mark. Yes, new homes did get a tad smaller toward the end of the '00s, but now that the economy and housing market are getting stronger, consumers say they want their next home to be as big as or bigger than their current one.
That's the finding in a recent consumer survey by PulteGroup (NYSE:PHM), the national homebuilder.
"It was interesting to see that 84% of homeowners ages 18-59 don't have plans to downsize their next home, even among baby boomers," Deborah Meyer, PulteGroup's chief marketing officer, said of the survey findings. PulteGroup's researcher polled 503 homeowners aged 18 to 59 in November.
Citing Census Bureau data, PulteGroup said the average size of a newly built home grew by 3.7% between 2010 and 2011, to 2,480 square feet. That was the first size increase since 2007.
Not surprisingly, younger homeowners said they wanted bigger homes to accommodate growing families. But the survey found that even homeowners nearing retirement and presumably done with child-rearing soundly rejected downsizing. Only 28% of those 55 to 59 said they wanted their next home to be smaller.
While the survey didn't probe the reasons, there are several possible explanations. A big home is a status symbol; many people want extra bedrooms to lure grown children and grandchildren to visit; and many view the home as an investment and thus favor bigger over smaller.
The survey did uncover some changes in consumer preferences. Even though homeowners don't want to go smaller, they want a more practical use of the space they have.
Many of the McMansions built in the '90s and '00s had formal dining rooms and living rooms in addition to great rooms or family rooms open to the kitchen. The survey found that these vestigial living and dining rooms may become expendable for more homeowners.
"According to the survey, 21% of homeowners ages 18-59 rarely use their formal dining room, while 17% said they rarely use their formal living room," PulteGroup said.
Many homeowners said they could do without formal living and dining rooms, and they expressed a preference for larger rooms overall, master bedroom suites, more storage space, outdoor living space such as patios, and greater energy efficiency.
