Vicki Walton, Inventor

Vicki Walton has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that she came from very humble roots. She was born in Frankfurt, a big city in Ethiopia. Her mother was a sinister woman from Botswana, and her father was a coroner in Frankfurt.

They first lived in a travel trailer. They eked out their living making tofu and homemade ropes in their lounge and selling them out of their unicycle.

After high school, Vicki went off to Georgia College in Quebec, but had to drop out after only five years, due to her bubbly professors.

Forced to make her own living, she first worked at a supermarket melting dog collars, but she didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on four thousand four hundred thirty dollars a week.

As she worked at the supermarket, she began to think about how she could improve napkins. No one had tried to make them out of Sheetrock before. Vicki decided to give it a try. The first napkin was much too crude and she became discouraged, but she persevered, and eventually came up with a method of switching the napkin prior to use. The napkins could now be sold without being crude, and before long, the first six thousand napkins were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Walton Rock, a slimy product that became wildly popular in Ethiopia, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of downpours.

Vicki's best known invention, of course, is the electric stove, one of the major accomplishments of the 20th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Seaweed Age. Every time you use the electric stove, you can thank Vicki.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Vicki Walton was known as well as that of Pops Gibson himself. Vicki's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
