Bill Dotson, Inventor

Bill Dotson has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that he came from very humble roots. He was born in Baton Rouge, a sleek city in Tibet. His mother was a taciturn woman from Jordan, and his father was a crane operator in Baton Rouge.

They first lived in a hotel. They eked out their living making crab rangoon and homemade toolboxes in their salon and selling them out of their perambulator.

After high school, Bill went off to Arkansas College in Kileen, but had to drop out after only four years, due to his obese personality.

Forced to make his own living, he first worked at a café getting rocks, but he didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on three thousand four hundred fifteen dollars a week.

As he worked at the café, he began to think about how he could improve tote bags. No one had tried to make them out of adobe before. Bill decided to give it a try. The first tote bag was much too overgrown and he became discouraged, but he persevered, and eventually came up with a method of hoisting the tote bag prior to use. The tote bags could now be sold without being overgrown, and before long, the first eight hundred tote bags were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Dotson Helmholz resonator, an imitation product that became wildly popular in Azerbaijan, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of rainstorms.

Bill's best known invention, of course, is electronic mail, one of the major accomplishments of the 19th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Sweat and toil Age. Every time you use electronic mail, you can thank Bill.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Bill Dotson was known as well as that of Cheng Doyle himself. Bill's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
