With nothing more than a bachelor's degree to his name, Roger Easton, Sr. showed the world that technological brilliance isn't confined to only those with a high level of academic achievement. He did so by inventing the technology we all now call GPS. Awarded 11 patents, his service to the nation included 37 years with the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), and two terms in the New Hampshire Legislature. In honor of his memory, the NRL recently published an obituary penned by his son Richard. Find it below:
