Manager’s Column 

John D. Hewa 

General Manager 

Tropical Storm Fay was not “just another storm”. It will always be 

remembered as the storm that took the life of a beloved employee, 

co-worker and friend, Curtis King. This is a tremendous loss to our 

Talquin family and community and we are greatly saddened by this tragedy, and 

our thoughts and prayers are continually for Curtis’ family. 

The work of a lineman is difficult during normal conditions, much less during 

storms, and we commend the dedication of our crews, contractors, and their families. 

Cooperatives in Florida are exposed to hurricanes and storms, surrounded 

by hundreds of trees and sometimes dense vegetation, which make a lineman’s job 

even more difficult. 

Forty mile an hour winds and hundreds of downed trees left 13,000 members 

without power the night of Friday, August 22, 2008. Talquin worked relentlessly 

throughout the weekend, and power was restored in a timely manner. Talquin 

called in the support of 46 contract and cooperative crews, which consisted of over 

200 additional people and over 135 trucks, to assist in the restoration effort in 

order to minimize the number of days our members would be without power. 

Flooding and inaccessibility prevented some areas from service restoration. 

We worked closely with local officials and Emergency Management and appreciate 

their hard work and commitment to our community. 

We would like to thank members for their kind remarks, phone calls, and letters. 

These uplifting gestures were greatly appreciated by our employees. It is in 

a time such as this, that we remember the sacrifices that have been made to bring 

electricity and water services to rural areas. We are blessed to be a part of such a 

caring community and are thankful for our Talquin family. 

Talquin Electric Board meeting will be held the third 

Wednesday of the month at Headquarters Office in 

Talquin Quincy Operations, July 22, 2008 

Quincy, Florida, at 7:00 p.m. Notice of any changes 

and special meetings will be posted at business offices. Talquin Service — Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

Curtis King worked for Talquin 

Electric since March, 2001. 

Prior to 2001, Curtis was 

employed by the City of Quincy as a 

lineman. He was known for his love 

for his family, his church, and the 

outdoors. Curtis served as the Vice 

President of the Gadsden County 

Horseman’s Association and volunteered 

his time with 4-H Gadsden 

County Saddle Club and on mission 

projects for those in need. He was 

committed to helping others and will 

be dearly missed by his Talquin family. 

The family of 

Curtis King, 

who gave his 

life helping 

others on 

August 22, 

2008, has 

set up an Education Fund for 

Kendall King at Envision Credit 

Union, 517 W. Jefferson St., 

Quincy, FL 32351, to be used 

for educational purposes for his 

daughter Kendall. Contributions 

may be made at any Envision 

Credit Union by making the 

check out to “Kendall King 

Education Account.” 

In Loving Memory of Curtis King 

Dedicated Lineman, Co-Worker and Friend 

A 

Lineman usually starts out as a younger man who has seen those 

guys working on power lines and is fascinated with the work. 

Maybe a family member or other acquaintance is working in the 

trade and following in their footsteps seems to be an interesting thing to do. 

Either way, this young man enters into one of the closest bonds with fellow 

workers there is. He begins his career as everyone’s grunt/groundman 

or the “low man on the totem pole” - getting all the hard labor on the ground 

while learning what safety, dedication, respect, hard work and helping others is 

all about. 

Months and maybe years pass and he thinks to himself “One day that will 

be me, lead Lineman, working on the pole or in the bucket.” Then he makes 

Apprentice Lineman because he has shown dedication and respect for the 

profession, and the skills required to excel in this career. He has also gained 

respect from his fellow lineman “brothers” for the sacrifices given, i.e. leaving 

family at home during a birthday party, sick child, half mowed yard, or a storm 

threatening his own home and property because duty calls. 

His family’s support for this job he loves is most appreciated and important 

for the Lineman’s happiness and success. 

As Apprentice he begins climbing the power poles, working out of the 

bucket, training day and night, wet, hot, and cold. 

After completion of Apprentice training, the title, Journeyman Lineman, 

is earned. The Journeyman Lineman has now not one but many skilled, highlevel 

hazardous work limits that appeal to a hardy few. He now leads his crew 

to be safe, dedicated, hardworking and respectful employees. 

Curtis King was one of these linemen. We, as brothers at Talquin, will 

continue the hard work, dedication, and respect to this trade we love and will 

always remember our brother Curtis and his family for their sacrifice.

Appreciation from Members for 

Tropical Storm Fay Response 

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and all of the dedicated hard working staff of Talquin Electric! I was so 

impressed with the care and assistance I received during our recent power outages related to Fay. Each time I called every 

person was emphatic, understanding and helpful. When the line crews came they worked quickly to resolve the havoc one 

pine tree did to the lines. I’m sure that everyone was tired and stressed, but still had a quick smile and understanding of 

what it is like to be without power. 

Susan Goodhope 

Talquin Member 

Our sincere thanks to you all for your hard work in getting our power reconnected... 

Terrence and Antoinette McCoy 


To all the workers at Talquin Electric and especially the linemen who were out in the stormy weather to restore power to us.. 

a very special thanks! 

Bill and Charlotte Neal 


A thank you to the kind people... in customer service who were patient and understanding.... 

Leatha Flowers 


Talquin Crew Chief, Ricky Benton, works with crew to restore power in Miccosukkee 

Area during Tropical Storm Fay. 

I have always waved or tipped my 

hat when I pass a Talquin crew along 

the road, or see a truck drive by our 

house...”thank you..” 

Jerry Raymond 


Thanks to both staff and field crews...
