Bev Loring, Inventor

Bev Loring has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that she came from very humble roots. She was born in Athens, a smooth city in Bulgaria. Her mother was an intense woman from Estonia, and her father was a magistrate in Athens.

They first lived in a boxcar. They eked out their living making macaroni and cheese and homemade guns in their dungeon and selling them out of their MG convertible.

After high school, Bev went off to Elwood College in Santiago, but had to drop out after only ten years, due to her eccentric personality.

Forced to make her own living, she first worked at an electronics store shredding whoopee cushions, but she didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on three thousand eight hundred twenty-seven dollars a week.

As she worked at the electronics store, she began to think about how she could improve muffins. No one had tried to make them out of sand before. Bev decided to give it a try. The first muffin was much too hideous and she became discouraged, but she persevered, and eventually came up with a method of monitoring the muffin prior to use. The muffins could now be sold without being hideous, and before long, the first four hundred muffins were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Loring Blank Check, a delicate product that became wildly popular in Senegal, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of ice storms.

Bev's best known invention, of course, is the jet ski, one of the major accomplishments of the 17th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Twigs Age. Every time you use the jet ski, you can thank Bev.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Bev Loring was known as well as that of Avery Carver herself. Bev's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
