Russell Pitts
Barbara Russell Pitts has a background in personnel and charitable
organizations and is the mother of one daughter. Since her father and
brother are patent-holders in addition to the patents held by herself
and her sister, Barbara feels that creativity is a ‘family
affair’. Spending her time working with her sister and reaching out
to fellow inventors is the fulfillment of her ‘dream job’.
Favorite Quotation:
“Our beliefs about what we are and what we can be precisely

been involved in finding ways to make the world around her better.

The two sisters co-invented Ghostline®, the poster board with the “ghosted” grid that eliminates the need to measure and draw
lines before beginning a poster project. Ghostline® sales, which top $8 million per year, can be found in all major discount
and drug outlets as well as catalogs that sell directly to schools.
Mary and Barbara manage their website, www.asktheinventors.com, where they offer free guidance in matters related to inventing.
They speak in the Dallas area to civic organizations, schools, adult education classes, leadership classes and at educational
seminars.
Along with fourteen other inventors across the country, Mary and Barbara were featured in the documentary film,
“Big Idea”, scheduled for release in February 2002.
In 2001, they held their first annual Ghostline® Poster Contest through their website. The subject was, “My favorite inventor,
what he/she invented and why the invention was important.” They received entries from across America and the contest judges,
in addition to themselves, were Joanne Hayes-Rines, Publisher/Editor, Inventors’ Digest Magazine, Robert Lougher,
Executive Director, UIAUSA and Donald Grant Kelly, CEO, Academy of Applied Science, Inc.
Beginning in 2002, they are joining efforts with the Academy of Applied Science, Inc. in promotion of the Academy’s Meant to
Invent® and Young Inventors’ Program™.
