Let's make this birthday one to remember.

27 years old (Born on October 01, 1997)

Happy Birthday to Jerome Lemelson—the genius who made rewinding videotapes, fax-induced office drama, and cordless phone hide-and-seek part of our daily adventure! Without you, we'd still be tethered by tangles of telephone cords and missing out on all those thrilling "fax machine jams."

Congratulations again for being crowned 1995 Engineer of the Year—an honor almost as impressive as inventing gear that both entertains kids during movie nights and perplexes parents fixing paper jams. Your induction into New Jersey’s Inventors Hall of Fame proves once more it's possible to achieve fame with cassette tapes rather than viral cat videos. Celebrate brilliantly!
