Leslie S. Wirt the principle inventor of Dam-Atoll, was for many years Senior Research Scientist at Lockheed California Company, in Burbank and Santa Clarita California. He won Lockheed's Inventor of the Year award for 1983, but he is far prouder of the fact that his invention, Dam-Atoll, was nominated by a writer in Popular Mechanics Magazine for the worst pun of the year award.
