Sandra Buie, 72, is all smiles as she greets a rider in her elevator in the 1st Bank Building in South Bend, Ind. First Source Bank, which owns the building, recently said goodbye to Buie and the building's other remaining elevator operator. By all accounts, the two were the last elevator operators still working in the city, and possibly the entire state.
