Good news about Ed Williamson.  Mr. Williamson has moved back to Pensacola and is now in an Assisted Living retirement place in Pensacola after spending time with his daughter in California.

He has his own apartment and has 24/7 nurses if needed that check on him and give him his medicines.  He is able to walk with a rolling walker and also has a scooter.

His daughter Rebecca has moved also to Pensacola to be able to be nearby and she’s working full time there.  Her husband will be joining her in a few months.

We are glad Mr. Williamson is doing great.

It’s with sorrow that we learned today that Gurpaul Paul, an SCS Data Networking Engineer, who retired from SCS in 1999, passed away on January 18, 2017.

Our March meeting was held on Monday, March 13, 2017 at Southern Nuclear Company. Our speaker was Mr. Bill Tharpe, Alabama Power Company Corporate Archivist.  He gave a very interesting presentation on “Powell Avenue Steam Plant – The Once and Future Power Plant.”

For those of you that do not know, Donnie Yessick has been ill for several years.  The family has asked for prayer that his new treatments he will begin will be effective.
