I don't deserve the thanks. I was a young desk jockey engineer who was as green as they come back then. The linesman and board runners are the real heroes. Anybody who will climb into a bucket in the cold and rain in the middle of the night and rise up to fix a 12KV distribution line, transformer or insulator is an amazing person. Same goes for the people back at the operations center who monitor and manage the substations and feeder/transmission lines. These are the people who deserve thanks, gratitude and respect. Too bad there are too many of them retiring or passing away without young replacements to take their place. Power is not a glamorous field of work and we're losing the good and wise ones way too often now. We'll make it somehow, but the brain drain is going to be big over the next 20 years or so.
