In 1954 Gerald Pearson,Calvin Fuller. and Daryl Chapin invented the first solar battery funded by and named after Bell Laboratories. The Bell Solar Battery was first tested with a telephone carrier system (Americus, Georgia) on 10/4/1955.
In 1985 the City of Seabrook, with the blessings of Rex and Evelyn Meador, donated to Harris County six acres of land originally given to the City by the Meadors. The donation was given with the stipulation that a county branch library would be built within two years of the donation. The Friends group was founded in 1985 by a small group of interested Seabrook citizens. The initial size of the library was to have been 4,500 square feet.
We have spent a lot of time in charming Seabrook, a new beach town on the Washington coast. It is our happy place. We watched them build town hall. Finally, when we got engaged, we took a shot and checked to see if they were available and they were! They had only had a couple of weddings there before us.
