Linework is not always just a mans world

Harley & the sweet little trade enthusiast.

While many little boys aspire to become firemen, cowboys, army men or policemen, most little girls dream of becoming a princess, teacher, doctor, or vet. However, there are a special breed of females who want the challenge of a more physical vocation.

Harley Rawles, is a lineman trainee who recently went on a storm call with Gray’s Power Supply. You might think woman lineman are rare, but believe it or not, there are lots of young women who admire the trade and dream of becoming linemen. Harley experienced the admiration from one such little girl on a recent storm restoration in Dallas, Texas.

At a stop off I-20 in Minton, Texas, a young mother with her daughter approached the crew while they were in the restaurant. The mother told them that her 5 year old daughter was intrigued with electrical workers, bucket trucks, and digger trucks and wanted to talk to them about their work. Not realizing that girls could be linemen, imagine her surprise and delight when she met Harley!!

As the family departed, there was one happy 5 year old girl proudly holding her Grays Power Supply tee shirt and having a new found HEROINE.
