The Father of the Teleprompter Has Passed Away
The Looking Spoon ^ | 4-26-11 | Jared H. McAndersen

It's a dark day for the country one special guy.

A man by the name of Hubert "Hub" Schlafly, passed away, and he is a man who made at least one president...

He can be considered a sputnik moment decades in the making when he invented the teleprompter way back in the 40's.

I've heard that Obama was in a meeting when he found out, so there were no camera's present. However, a sketch artist with help from an anonymous witness was able to capture the president's reaction...

I’d like to say something, but my teleprompter is out of order.

First time I've seen it. Do you count each individual article or just this one?
