Chapter 8 – Mia Jacobs

The rest of the week flew by. My cute blonde companion always harping on me to take time for myself. We seemed connected, with her hand in my arm, every second we were alone together. I actually had a chance to meet the mysterious Annette. She was a dark haired, middle aged woman who was snarky and full of delightful sarcasm.

I had been shopping my revised senior project idea around at a few technical colleges for my senior project. I only had three years to work on it, and for what I had in mind, that might not be enough time. Tech college after tech college told me what I wanted to accomplish was impossible. The resolution required just wasn't there with traditional products. Possibly in another fifty years or so.

I wasn't deterred. When I shared my idea with June when she was over at Conrnfed Potatoes, she comically said, “I got this shit.”

Which just put Kylee Nelson into a laughing fit, sputtering out, “You sound just like your mother June!” This only encouraged the force of nature that was June Harris-West, causing her smile to double.

She got me into contact with the man responsible for creating the advanced prosthetic foot that Skylar from Satin Thunder wears. His name is Tim Phearson, from Pherson Prosthetics and Robotics.

I laid out my ideas and how everyone said that it was impossible. His voice seemed to tremble with excitement at that. When he asked why they said it was impossible, I told him because they couldn't get the resolution needed at that scale. He chuckled and said, “Then why do it at that scale and limit themselves?” He shared something with me at that point that I still use as my motto to this day, “It is only impossible until someone does it.”

We found that the time constraint was limiting, he couldn't devote his company resources to it no matter how exciting it was. Plus, it was a multi-million dollar project. But he did admit that the return on it if it was made commercially available was potentially huge. I perked up, remembering my trust account. “What if we become partners on the project? I can invest fifty thousand per month into development for the next three years.” That would still leave money to dedicate to the Callahan Foundation each month.

We sealed the deal and then Tim and I were partners on the endeavor. He hired another engineer for his company to pick up the slack for him then devoted his time personally to my project because he found it so challenging and exciting. I really like that man! While he worked out the details on the project, we hired a three man crew to develop the portable high resolution 3D scanners we would need for the other part of the project.

Once we had the scanners, then my part of the project, and probably the most difficult part of it, would begin. I was up for it though, it was such an exciting concept and I'm sure most of the museums would be thrilled to participate.
