1911 - 1993 (82 years)1. Lester James Youngs was born 20 May 1911, Fenton, Broome, New York, USA; died 16 Nov 1993, Port Richey, Pasco, Florida, United States of America; was buried , Port Richey, Pasco, Florida, USA. Notes:
Lester was born Jesse and Cora Youngs in the Town of Fenton, New York. His mother Cora was extremely angry when she found out that she was pregnant with Lester. When he was born he weighed only three and one-half pounds so Cora set him aside not knowing if he would live or die. His half sister, Mildred placed him in the warmth of the unlit oven which acted as an incubator. Lester's brother Lawrence, who was two years older, was jealous of him and pulled mean tricks on him. One day he had Lester put his thumb in a piece of machinery and then cut it off. They carried Lester and the thumb to the doctor who sewed it back on again but did not get it on quite straight. From that time on he always had a crooked thumb. Lester was a good student who excelled in math. Upon graduation from Binghamton Central High School he went to work for the International Time Recorder which later became International Business Machines or IBM. This was during the depression and IBM was not hiring. He was persistent and everyday he would sit in the human resource office. His persistance paid off as they hired him and put him to work as a drill press operator on the night shift. He took as many courses as possible and he worked his way through the company to the level of engineer.
