I fondly remember my college roommate's father, a power company employee, and the heart-stopping phone call that came while we were still in college saying that he'd been electrocuted in the line of duty. Unsung heroes indeed. <br />Robyn Hood Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07279289715664168026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-28931479431882422792012-11-09T22:38:59.918-07:002012-11-09T22:38:59.918-07:00Thanks Violet.

I have carried this poem around for a while & now when I share, look at the connections. There are so many who, as Jama said, keep us safe & fix things, often in dangerous circumstances. And JoAnn, I worked with a teacher a while ago whose husband was a public service repairman; she worried so about him in bad weather, as you've described. Thank you Laura for posting-I imagine, though frustrated to wait so long, that they will appreciate all that the workers have done. Thanks all!<br /><br />FYI-I'll try to visit later; I closed today on my new home & am all a flutter, actually, excited but nervous. All is well, just so much to do!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-35322047428057083332012-11-09T15:01:38.969-07:002012-11-09T15:01:38.969-07:00Hi, Linda!
