Makes me wish that I would have gone with Virginia Power's offer instead of Duke Power's back in 78. Albeit have extended family in Grayson/Carroll county (Galax) and further north Austinville and Max Meadows.

Ron,
I worked for Virginia Power in Richmond back in '78. They were hiring like crazy back then!!
Mark, VEPCO (North Anna & Surry) was one of our/my customers. So was Duke and most every other "nuke". From mid 72's to mid 78's worked for a division of ITT Grinnell as QA Supervisor.
To make it a smaller world our Bechtel quality rep lived in Mars.

I'll say that's a small world! I graduated from Mars High School. I grew up a mile from the school and three miles from downtown Mars!!
The Bechtel rep first name was Lou can't recall last name. Before Bechtel he worked for Mine Safety. And since the Pullman Kellogg quality rep name was Lou I keep thinking of his last name. This Lou also owned a 426-Hemi funny car.
Well Mine Safety has a huge presence very near Mars. A good friend of mine is a research chemical engineer there.
