"I was employed at Coopers Island as an Electrical Power Plant Operator, from 1965-1969. Fellow plant members whom I can remember were the following: Reginal Pearman, Kenneth Outerbridge, William (Bill) Issac, George DeCosta (deceased), Eugene Foley (deceased), Vernon (Bishob) Furbert (deceased). Plant Mechanics, Leon (Caladonia) Smith, George (Chicken) Welch. The Plant Manager was Richard (Dick) Dole. Unfortunately, I do not have any photos of those years nevertheless, A very special event for me while working there was that I had the opportunity of spending a day up in one of NASA's airplanes, a Lockheed Constallation, NASA 421 performing station calibration checks."
