Jackie just know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I will always remember the conversations that I had with Atty. Jones sitting in his office and in the Customer Service area a Duke Power ( now Duke Energy). He was truly a man willing to share his Wisdom with everyone that he came in contact with for this I am grateful.
