Hugh Bradner, Inventor of the Wet Suit, RIP


I just learned that Hugh Bradner, the inventor of the wet suit, died on May 5. It is really a fascinating story. His Wall Street Journal Obituary is here. The story of the invention of the wet suit is here. Thanks, Hugh. I didn't know who you were until after you died, but countless triathletes, scuba divers and surfers and I are grateful for your invention.
