On Monday, October 9th, the City of Pikeville recognized Eastern Telephone and Technologies for their contributions and developments in the Pikeville area. For over 40 years, their business has continued to grow and impact other businesses and the local economy. Eastern Telephone and Technologies President Darrell Maynard shares his thoughts on the achievement. Being recognized here in Pikeville just feels really good. We've made a lot of friends and through the businesses that we've done business with and we feel like that our focus on the technology services here that usually you don't get in Eastern Kentucky, especially back 40 years ago when we first started, it just feels good that we were able to try to help keep everybody at the same level of technology as we're in the metropolitan areas all these years. Maynard says the community has given back to him after all his years of service. Moving forward, he wishes to continue improving the region. When I was growing up, my parents and family were from this area and I remember saying we'd come and visit it all the time because I never lived here. And I just remember at 16 that I said I was never going to live in Eastern Kentucky. And when I was 21, fate as fate would have it, I ended up here and I've been here ever since. Married three children and this community has given me so much. They've helped raise my children. They've helped me start my business and keep it going. So it's just been a blessing to be a part of Pikeville, Kentucky. Reporting from Mountaintop News, I'm Nick Collum.
