Dear Mr. Baker:

This letter is to express my honest opinion of the Baker Life Chute.

As you know, I am a paraplegic due to a spinal cord injury and am wheelchair bound.

I have utilized your safety chute several times in demonstrations for you purposes. I believe the Baker Life Chute is long overdue. Many lives have been lost in fires in highrise buildings in the last decade. The utilization of your device could have saved many if not all who lost their lives.

My specific interest in your Life Chute is that, as a paraplegic, I have been evacuated from as many as 17 stories with your device, without confusion, delay or inconvenience.

Your device is unique in that it can be used in highrise buildings as well as in private homes.

The Baker Life Chute is "the state of the art" in fire safety and evacuation of flame engulfed buildings.

Good luck in your endeavors with the Baker Life Chute.

Sincerely,

Wayne C. Carter
