    		Bingo! essaychess. You beat me to it.
    I still have an embroidered patch of Reddy Kilowatt. It's from the warm-up jackets worn by the baseball team sponsered by the local utility.
    As a personal sidenote; My Mom and Dad met while working for Public Service. It just happened that when Dad started, his office was right across the hall from Mom's in the accounting department. When they told the story at their Fiftieth Anniversary, it sounded like a bit of flirting and water cooler meeting went on between the cute girl from accounting and the good-looking new engineer.
