Pay Due Notice To Mister Otis

Here's to Elisha Graves Otis that stupendous innovator, Who gave us all a lift in life by inventing the elevator. Due to Elisha's creative skill and general know-how, The ups and downs of life we can truly experience now! Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired (c) 2014 All Rights Reserved

Mt Bob, this is one of your best.. clever man you are, and so was Mr Otis. Always glad when I see your name come up with something new. BG

Love, love, love this one, Bob! The next time life tosses ups and downs, I'll try to connect with Elisha for a "lift." Love, Carolyn
