Click Here to download ERS-2009-02-18 #148 I just learned that Charlie Dolan, founder of Atlas Elevator, passed away on February 15th. I remember dropping an order off at Atlas one day only to find Charlie working hard at his drafting table. Atlas for a while had three generations all working together which to me was quite an accomplishment. I invite all of you to sign his guest book by clicking here. I found some really good articles this week that I'll be sharing on the program. The one that was blogged about the most was the bankruptcy of Muzak. I'm honestly not sure why it didn't happen sooner. Another great article involves the TSSA and the liability and responsibility they have in making sure elevators and escalators are safe. Don't miss next week's show, another prize pack giveaway, which is going to be a cab commander from the Duluth Trading Company. Get your name on the e-mail list to be eligible to win.
