JOHN E. FULLER was born in Greenville, Georgia, and was a graduate of Senoia High School. He later attended Georgia Tech University and obtained a Masters of Engineering degree from the University of Cincinnati. He served for one year in the US Army Air Service during World War I. Chief amongst his wartime duties was an engineering
project to create the first fuel-injection engine for American aircraft. Though his design did allow for pilots to shoot to then-record-breaking heights, his design was not carried forward into production, in part due to the outbreak of peace.
Upon his return to civilian life, he married DOROTHY LOWE and took up employment at Sonoco Products Company in Hartsville, South Carolina. He subsequently moved to Durham, North Carolina, for a job at the American Tobacco Company. In 1939, he moved to Pisgah Forest, North
Carolina for a job at the Ecusta Paper mill, then a subsidiary of the Olin Corporation. It was here that he would spend the bulk of his career. He began in the boiler department, but by 1941 had moved into its engineering department.
