Richard Hollins Murray is somewhere in my ancestry (Murray is a family name), probably a very distant relative. God forbid someone mentions the cat's eye at a family party, though, because all of the great-aunts and great-uncles get up in arms about how Murray's idea was "stolen" and how Murray was the true inventor of the cat's eye. I don't think any of them really know the history (I didn't know his name was Richard before I saw his this post) but I'm not going to argue with a gang of riled-up octogenearians.
