Lunch in Las Cruces, NM with Ray from El Paso Electric (July 2010)
"Just stay put, I'll come get you!" and Ray drove out to where we'd taken a wrong turn and led us in the right direction to meet up at McCalister's Deli in Las Cruces, NM. It was a scrumptious lunch and really 'sweet' Sweet Tea! Ray shared with us lots of stories about his metering career and his experiences with apprentices and his own mentors. Ray is not only choc full of stories, but he's a good story teller too! His delivery and timing make for good tales. The lunch hour literally "flew" by! Ray is a conscientioius meterman and all about safety. If you ever get to meet him, ask him to tell you the story about the bull or the one about the bear in the cabin of an 80yr old man. Then all the stories about the border patrol, etc... there in El Paso, TX where he works. (There's gotta be a movie plot in one of those stories, somewhere... ) Thanks Ray! We really had fun getting to know you and glad you were able to share your lunchtime with us!
