Tribute to a friend [Explored]
This was the last image Mike Parker (MountainStatesPowerCo. here) uploaded to the Insulator Collectors On the Net photo gallery - a few weeks before he passed away in February 2012.
He pointed out that this was an older Tillamook People's Utility District pole that was about to be changed out along with its rusty old coop-style double-hanger transformer.
Anyway, rest in peace, fellow line geek. I'll always cherish all the SWAGs, WAGs, and discussion of the history of the electric utility industry - MSP, PP&L, NSP, OTP, MDU, etc... hope our paths cross again someday, my friend.
