WRT Mobridge & McLaughlin Area Updates<br />

Jerry Graff has been a true telephone man for many years. He started in the phone industry in<br />

1984 for Northwestern Bell working with open wire and poles. Jerry then worked for Valley Telecommunicati<br />

ons for 29 years, plus owned his own business for two years. He knows the industry<br />

and the countryside bett er than most. Jerry also knows the well-traveled road from Mobridge <strong>to</strong><br />

McLaughlin and back again, as he’s been making that trip almost daily since 1998.<br />

Although Jerry will sti ll see a great deal of windshield ti me, his commute has been a bit shorter<br />

since April 2012. With recent reti rements, Jerry was able <strong>to</strong> make the move from McLaughlin<br />

<strong>to</strong> Mobridge’s Combinati on Technician positi on.<br />

Jerry and his wife, Diana, are long-ti me residents of Mobridge, SD. They have one daughter<br />

and one son, as well as fi ve grandchildren. Jerry enjoys hunti ng, fi shing, gun collecti ng, woodworking<br />

and yardwork... and his new shorter commute <strong>to</strong> work!<br />

Devon Mitt leider is getti ng back <strong>to</strong> his roots with a litt le help from WRT. Mitt leider moved<br />

back <strong>to</strong> his home<strong>to</strong>wn of McLaughlin, SD and began working at WRT in July 2007. For over 18<br />

years, he had worked throughout the United States for Nortel Networks - a company quite<br />

familiar <strong>to</strong> WRT’s Central Offi ce/Network Department.<br />

For the past fi ve years, Devon has been working in the McLaughlin/Mobridge,<br />

SD area as a WRT Installer Repair Technician. Although he worked closely<br />

with the CO/Network Department, it was a recent reti rement that<br />

helped transiti on Devon back <strong>to</strong> his true calling.<br />

As of April 2, 2012, Devon began reporti ng <strong>to</strong> the<br />

McLaughlin Central offi ce as WRT’s newest Network<br />

Technician. He brings with him experience and<br />

knowledge for the positi on, as well as the<br />

area. Devon and his wife, Shelly, enjoy being closer <strong>to</strong><br />

family. They have one son and one daughter. Devon<br />

enjoys being a husband & father, as well as<br />

riding his Harley.<br />

College & MSCTC-Wadena for technical training. <strong>Jordan</strong> also gained a great deal of hands on experience working at<br />

Kadrmas, Lee & Jackson as a constructi on observer - fi ber tester for 2½ years. He then <strong>to</strong>ok a job at Reservati on Telephone<br />

TECH TIP: Telemarketers & the Nati onal Do Not Call List<br />

The term “telemarketi ng calls” is oft en used <strong>to</strong> describe telephone calls that solicit the sale of goods or services. In most<br />

cases, they are unwanted. Several years ago a law was passed <strong>to</strong> help limit these unwanted calls by establishing the Nati<br />

onal Do Not Call Registry - see our annual noti fi cati on below:<br />

THE NATIONAL DO�NOT�CALL REGISTRY has been established <strong>to</strong> off er you a choice about receiving telemarketi ng<br />

calls at home. Registering will s<strong>to</strong>p most telemarketi ng calls but it will not s<strong>to</strong>p calls from certain non-profi t and politi cal<br />

organizati ons and calls from organizati ons with which you have established a business relati onship.<br />

Consumers can register <strong>their</strong> residenti al telephone numbers, including wireless numbers, on the Nati onal Do-Not-Call<br />

Registry by telephone or by Internet at no cost. The number will be on the Do-Not-Call list the day aft er registrati on; however,<br />

telemarketers have up <strong>to</strong> 31 days <strong>to</strong> remove the number from <strong>their</strong> call lists.<br />

You may register up <strong>to</strong> three numbers at one ti me if registering on the Internet. If registering via telephone,<br />

you can register only one number at a ti me and you must call from the telephone number<br />

you are registering. A number can be removed from the Do-Not-Call Registry at anyti me.<br />

To register or remove a number from the Do-Not-Call Registry:<br />

CALL 1.888.382.1222 • TTY CALL 1.866.290.4236<br />

REGISTER ON THE INTERNET at www.donotcall.gov<br />

Additi onal informati on can be obtained at www.donotcall.gov<br />

*NOTE: Cell numbers are NOT being released <strong>to</strong> telemarketers. The DO NOT<br />

CALL LIST does NOT expire. Phone numbers will remain on the list<br />

permanently unless you contact the registry <strong>to</strong> remove it.
