Alexander Graham Bell (March 3, 1847 – August 2, 1922) was a Scottish-born Canadian-American inventor of the telephone and the founder of the Bell System Telephone Companies and AT&T (Ma Bell).
History[]
His stamp was seen on the wall at Springfield Stamp Museum. He introduced himself as an inventor of the telephone. Elisha Gray from the next stamp said that Bell had stolen the idea for the telephone from him, but Bell told him to read the patent number.
While "hello," suggested first by Thomas Alva Edison, was adopted instead, "Ahoy, hoy!" was Alexander Graham Bell's own preference as the proper greeting to use when answering telephones. Mr. Burns though answers phones with "Ahoy, hoy!" (first time in "Homer the Smithers")
