THE GOOD NEWS
Walter L.
Shaw died, at 10:30
in the morning, on July 21, 1996.
Sadly, only 28 people showed up to
the funeral for a man whose
forward thinking mentality,
combined with sheer brilliance,
originality and talent, created
innovations that many of us use on
a daily basis.
You might be asking
yourself, “Who is Walter L.
Shaw?”
Upon learning the truth behind
this man’s story, you will be asking
yourself, “Why isn’t this man
receiving the honor and credit that
he so justly deserves?”
Born in 1917, Walter L.
Shaw
was a man gifted with many talents.
Shaw holds the original patents for
the design and development of
apparatuses, such as the
speakerphone, the touch-tone
dialing pad, call-forwarding, and
the creation of the first burglary
alarm system that automatically
called police when tipped off.
His
unmatched electronics and
engineering brilliance led him to
file and receive 39 United States
patents, from the 1940’s to the
1960’s.
