Photo 803: Mark Whitfield says this employee is Drew Gupton, who appears to be connecting an underground service in a pad mount transformer. "He worked in several locations but finished his career as a senior lineman in Cary Operations, where we worked together in the late ‘90s, early 2000s."
Photo 787: Jay Brown, Linda Constantino and Ann Jackson let us know that the gentleman on the left is Bob Bazemore, who worked in Finance for CP&L and Progress Energy, and Jeff Stone is on the far right. The other two employees remain mysteries, so let us know if you happen to recognize them.
