Comment: The patents are a little unclear. Obit says he "patented at least 21 valves", but there's also sourcing about him patenting a device to keep coffee fresh after he sold the business, so there's no good concrete total.

Overall: @Muboshgu: Good work. For ALT0, the comma isn't needed as it is a list of only two items ("a seventh grade education" and "three honorary degrees in engineering from the University of Tulsa"). ALT0 is better than ALT1 given the lack of clarity for the latter. Epicgenius (talk) 22:01, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
