Chasers
When Hurricane Celia ripped a tornadic trail
through Texas, rural electric systems in her
path needed help in a hurry. Within hours
volunteers from other rural electric coopera-
tives in the state were on the scene to help
restore service. Many of these skilled men
had followed the devastating track of such
shady ladies as Audrey, Beulah, Carla and
Camille. They are among the 2500 employees
of 77 member-owned rural electric systems
in Texas who provide a first class electric
service to their own member-owners. But a
neighbor called for help and they answered.
It is this spirit of cooperation that has helped
make the rural electric cooperatives first in
service to rural Texans, Helping Texas Grow.

filth, and the pomp of Medieval Eng-

fight between loyalty, and honor or
political maneuvering and private
vengeance.
