We would like to thank Debbie Scott Flippin for participating in our 75th Anniversary celebration by presenting these wonderful photos and personal testimony and recognize that she is doing so in honor of her father C.H. Scott, former Operations Manager at Coahoma Electric Power Association and 25 year employee, who died on April 7, 2007.  Ms. Flippin's mother, Nell Scott, also worked at the REA during the 50's.
The following is an email she sent describing some of her memories growing up within the EPA family

"...Growing up he was on standby every other week. Needless to say that when I became a teenager, my phone calls were limited to 15 minutes. He took pride in his company car as he took it to the service station every Saturday morning to get it washed. I remember when they got their first bucket truck. We lived in Lyon just down the street from the REA. He brought it home and took my brother and me up in it. He didn't have to many stories that he shared until he got older. The funniest one was before I was born and they were running a line along the Sunflower River right where Friars Point Road crosses Lee Drive. He was on a log for whatever reason with the wire and he fell off. As kids my brother and I made lots of trips to the office. I remember the Christmas Parties where the kids played bingo and I actually wone a small green flower vase. I guess the memory of his car wreck at Friars Point Road and Lee Drive is the one I remember most. Don't know why, but I was always the one got medical duty. I raced from Jonestown to the hospital. Mr. Cauthen handed me my dad's wallet and I took it from there. Broken collar bone. Daddy said the light was green and the other driver said his light was green. I think I sent you a picture of daddy' car.

Daddy died 5 years ago this past Saturday, so you gave me the opportunity to share the pictures with the EPA family and I can't thank you enough for that."

Sincerely, Debbie Scott Flippin
