* Nikola Tesla *

Born in 1856 and died in 1943. An amazing inventor and physicist, Nikola Tesla is honored by this statue that sits on Goat Island, on the Niagara River, between the two large sets of the Niagara Falls.

Now here's my request; As I wander through this life and leave behind whatever legacy I may, I would hope to be remembered and honored by my accomplishments and achievements in such a manner as a statue.

 However, PLEASE, whatever you do, and I truly emphasize this, do not, and I repeat, "DO NOT!" characterize or portray me sitting on the toilet, reading the paper!!
PLEASE!!
