To: announce@flossrecycling.com From: Pat Nguyen Subject: patent application To all staff -- I want to send out a big congratulations to Winston Thurd and Chantelle Williams. While Floss Recycling, Incorporated has a long and distinguished history of obtaining patents, this is the first time that anyone outside of the Engineering Department has filed a patent. Chantelle and Winston had a great idea, the foresight to recognize the value of the idea, and the tenacity to put together all the material needed to file for the patent. It's people like Chantelle and Winston who are leading FRI into the 21st century! Come help us celebrate at 4 PM today in the cafeteria. Ice cream for everyone!
