Memory
Uncle Arthur never married, but he totally adored my mother, Edna, and her sister, Gladys. He spent a great deal of time with them, and when I lived with Aunt Gladys after my mother, Edna, died; we would go to Providence from CT to visit Uncle Arthur. He had this neat 'flat' and loved antiques. He actually had a huge pipe organ built into his living room and would play for us when there. I would sing along with him, and we had such great fun. Uncle Arthur died of cancer in 1949 when I was only nine. After Aunt Gladys died, I was the recipient of many of his antiques which I treasure. He was cremated and his urn was interred above his sister, Margaret (Browe) Lawton at Pocasset Hill Cemetery, Tiverton, RI ... along with many family members. See photo of cemetery stone.

Invention The microwave oven was invented accidentally in 1945 by Percy Spencer, a Raytheon engineer. While testing a magnetron, he noticed microwaves melted a candy bar in his pocket. Experimenting further, he discovered microwaves could cook food quickly. Raytheon patented the process, and by 1947, they built the first commercial microwave oven, called the 'Radarange.' Initially used in commercial settings, microwaves becomes affordable for home use by the 1960s and 1970s, revolutionizing cooking.
