Theresa Foreman, Inventor

Theresa Foreman has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that she came from very humble roots. She was born in Taiwan, an important city in Belize. Her mother was an awkward woman from Rwanda, and her father was a chief of police in Taiwan.

They first lived in a crypt. They eked out their living making brownies and homemade suitcases in their dining room and selling them out of their Prius.

After high school, Theresa went off to Illinois College in Garden Grove, but had to drop out after only three years, due to her puzzled personality.

Forced to make her own living, she first worked at a mortuary smudging coat check tickets, but she didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on two thousand two hundred sixteen dollars a week.

As she worked at the mortuary, she began to think about how she could improve helmets. No one had tried to make them out of pulp before. Theresa decided to give it a try. The first helmet was much too lime-green and she became discouraged, but she persevered, and eventually came up with a method of rocking the helmet prior to use. The helmets could now be sold without being lime-green, and before long, the first two hundred helmets were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Foreman Cookie, a hefty product that became wildly popular in Kuwait, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of ice storms.

Theresa's best known invention, of course, is the measles vaccine, one of the major accomplishments of the 19th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Balsa Age. Every time you use the measles vaccine, you can thank Theresa.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Theresa Foreman was known as well as that of Dax Klinger himself. Theresa's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
