The last photo is my grandfather working on his last pole in rural Middle Georgia before retirement in 1972.

  • @joltinjack how old was your grandad on his last pole?

  • @derail33 - This picture was taken by my Dad in 1974 (I had mistakenly posted 1972, earlier).  He was born July 3, 1912, so ... he was about 62.

  • Love the picture of your grandfather. Must have been a regular working guy.

  • @ptaaffe - He was. A wonderful man. He stopped drinking the day I was born, and came to visit me every month on Saturday mornings.

  • i'm 52 years old and i still climb poles. my doctor was on vacation so i went to a doctor i didn't know for a prescription refill. he gave me the stethoscope breathing, blood pressure reading, checkup.you know the drill. he said man, you are in great shape! you must work out. i had to laugh.

  • Brilliant! I love this track, and the montage is perfect. Thanks for sharing!

  • Thanks for posting, I Love this song. My dad and grandad were both telecomms guys, working for British Telecom and the army. This song reminds me of them.

  • Song is great. I remember him not just for great singing but also a fantastic guitarist. The video is nice maybe good for Edison commercial. I'd rather see him in raw form.

  • Love this video

  • Great story thank you for sharing God Bless you and your family!!!!!!

  • And hey, your grandpa got to retire. Everyone in the airline business gets screwed before it is all over.....He's a lucky and blessed man.

  • Great video....Love this song and the people that do this job. Never think about them till the power is out...
