Sign Saves Life

Recently we had a thread about a little boy who lost his life from a sign falling on him, in the past we've had articles and topics about signs that have fallen, fallen and killed, injured, or electrocuted.

At our Sign Syndicate Sign Meet in Vegas I had the pleasure of Meeting Dr. Dydra DeLyser, whom Wade Swormstedt brought with him for us to meet. If you don't know there is a link here about her. She compiling and in the middle of writing a book about the history of Neon.

Anyhow, she mentioned and sent me an article that was in the Signs of the Times many moons ago about a sign that saved the life of an individual who was unbeknown of something that was about to kill him.

Anyway, thought I'd post this for your entertainment and curiosity. Since we always here "Death by Sign", we can now say "Saved By Sign".

On a side note, as we commonly repeat/coin the phrase, "They don't build them like they use to". I wonder if that would stand today, and if this life would have been saved today with the way some signs are cheapened out.

Imagine If we can put one of the 11 seven liquor store signs made from Magic Mouth out of jacksonville who swears with his fuzzy math that he can save 80% in energy consumption over Neon to his clients to test in this situation, that would be a test of time for sure.

You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. - Winston Churchill
