March 20, 2021 Quinn Albert March 20, 1976: Lineman on U.S. 30 March 20, 2021 Quinn Albert Originally published in The Vidette-Messenger of Porter County on March 20, 1976. Crewmen for Northern Indiana Public Service Co. had to row their way to work site in sunken area on U.S. 30 west of County Road 500W. Normally Don Labadie (top), journeyman lineman, and Steve Dommer, apprentice lineman, would have used a truck boom to reach roadside area, but adequate footing was not available for vehicle to be useful in tying in new cable.(V-M: Ken Dowdell) Quinn Albert
