The sale of his dry-cleaning patent in 1930 to American Laundry Machinery Company. 3. The sale of his invented beet piler to Holly Sugar Corporation in 1933. 4. The sale of his first continuous diffuser for sugarbeets to Quebec Sugar Refining in 1942. 5. The sale of his continuous coal miner patent rights to Joy Manufacturing Company in 1947. 6. And now, the sale of his cane sugar diffuser in 1961 to Honolulu Iron Works. 20 Madelyn regarded the two weeks in Hawaii as joyous-the friendships, the entertainment their hosts and hostesses provid ed, the scenery, the weather, and the gorgeous leis they were given as they departed-all complementing Harold's success in one of his most earnest inventive efforts. When Madelyn and Harold returned to Denver, an unex pected surprise was waiting for them-a letter paying tribute to Madelyn as a queen of teaching. Dr. Edward C. and Charlene Horsley, Latter-day Saints who lived in Worland, Wyoming, had lived in Denver three years while Ed took his internship to com plete the M.D. degree. Horsleys often visited the Silvers, they attended Madelyn'S Sunday School class and the Church History Club, and they stayed at the Silver home to look after Brian when the Silvers went on long trips. The three-page type written letter was full of encomiums, as if the Horsleys had a feeling about Madelyn's health and wanted to be sure to send this tribute while she was yet alive. The letter is an excellent statement of what we were told in 1995 by more than two dozen interviewees who had known Madelyn and sat in her classes. We send this to the most gracious, intellectual, and out standing woman we have ever known. She is uncontestedly the best teacher in every aspect of the term at whose feet we have ever sat to learn. |
