It’s hard to believe that we’re on show #150 already. In some ways it’s like being married. Sometimes I tell my wife, wow, we’ve been married for 12 years and it feels like a lifetime….but in a good way! You got to throw that last comment in or else you’re screwed!  It’s been a lot of fun putting the show together and I appreciate all of your support!  With 53,648 downloads total over the last 149 shows I’m humbled by it all….I still think that no one is listening! I trick myself into thinking this so I don’t have a panic attack every Wednesday.

On the show today I’ll provide an update on the EESF Meeting that I attended last week and cover the news that I’ve found online this week. As always, thanks for tuning in to the show this week!

Post: March 4th, 2009: No Show Today

Sorry everyone, but as much as I wanted to put a show together today, I really was just too tired to do so. The trip home last night from the Atlanta Annual Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation meeting was much longer than I had expected. I had a really nice time and will talk more about what I learned on next week’s show. I do want to thank all of you for supporting the foundation whether it’s through your associations and events, online purchases of goodies here in our online store or by volunteering your time. Everything you do makes a difference!

Some sad news to report, last week, Herb Leibowitz passed away. Many of you knew Herb from the days he worked at GAL. I remember Herb from when I started in the industry. Always a helpful guy he really contributed a lot.  Elevator World has a nice little news post on some of his accomplishments. If you would like to share a story or sign the memoriam post that’s online please click this link.

Lots of regional elevator association action going on so click the calendar of events links below to get caught up on when the meetings in your area are scheduled!
