Yeah they probably went away the same time telephone operators did
Re: Did you ever ride in an elevator manned by an elevator operator??
I'm surely old enough to have that experience. Early 50s the clothing store we liked was The Young Men's Shop in downtown Durham, NC. Upstairs was The Boy's Shop. I believe there was a seemtress shop one more floor up. I was a pre teen then so went up to the Boys Shop. The elevator was manned by a kindly black gentleman all the time. He sat on a stool attached to the wall. One floor up, one floor down. We loved it. Also they had the vacuum tube system so they put your bill and money in that and sent it zooming across the ceiling to disappear as it went up to a cashier. If you needed alterations, which in those times trousers came unfinished so were custom fitted, that went up the tube also. It was fun to watch. What a lovely time to be growing up in a relaxed and kinder society.

Just on a side note, I also remember that awful boring music that played in a few elevators I've ridden. Same stuff that you'd hear while grocery shopping.
The scary part is the music that is played today is from the top 10 from my era!!

As a shift electrician in the '90's I was called upon many times to free people from a stuck elevator. Invariably, they would be passed off at me because they got stuck.
Re: Final Delta IV Heavy Launch Coming Up
Worked on the Delta ll second stage engines. The injector assembly was made with stacked platelet assemblies to enable complicated flow channels in the injector dome. We had to hydro test them at high pressure to make sure that all orifices were clear, and streams met at the proper angle. Saw many a very wet engineer climb out of the tank.
Re: I ordered the greatest Western today.
I hated that movie even before I knew what a jerk Will Smith is. I would never include it in any list of great Westerns. Not even close.
The best IMO only of course: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The Professionals. The Wild Bunch. Once Upon a Time in the West. The Searchers. High Noon.
Old Tyme radio shows
you folks might enjoy this. Lots of radio shows from bygone days and plenty of westerns.
