Photo 806: Who is this Carolina Power & Light (CP&L) employee in Cary, N.C.? What is he doing?
Photo 803: It appears this employee is repairing a transformer. Do you know who he is and where he worked?
Photo 787: This is a photo of CP&L employees who appear to be in a meeting (or are they getting ready for a card game?). Do you know who they are?
Photo 793: Can you tell us anything about this employee who was working in Garner, N.C. Check out his computer, which we're sure was state of the art at the time. Do you know the year?
You helped us learn more about these photos:
Photo 778: Tom Coplolo let us know that the man at left is Gene Simmons, who was an ethics investigator. Tom said it was interesting that this Gene Simmons had nothing to do with his namesake in the rock band Kiss, and that his business was the opposite of that band's reputation. "When Gene came to town and you were the subject of his interview, it was time to get nervous," Tom said.
Photo 1006: Thanks to Steve E. Parker, we know that this line tech is Bobby Morrison, who was then working out of the Matthews Ops Center. He is still with the company, and is now working as a substation technician.
"I worked with Bobby for many years as a lineman," Parker said. "He is one of Duke’s best of the best."
