Old Toad Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 AT&T is moving its world headquarters to Dallas, Texas. As part of the move, it also plans to move the statue "Genius of Electricity" by Evelyn Beatrice Longman. The statue has been the symbol of AT&T (and also the former Western Electric) since 1914, and that is often called by the nickname "Golden Boy." The current formal name for the statue is "Spirit of Communications." http://www.evelynbeatricelongman.org/1915_genius/ After it's moved, I propose we organize an NTOS field trip to see it in person!
