My deepest sympathy to Brad's family for your huge loss. I remember when we hired him to go to work for AP&L/Entergy in Marked Tree. I asked what he did on weekends in that East Arkansas town. He replied that he spent his weekends counting boxcars on the trains that went through! He said it with a straight face ! I enjoyed our professional time together. Brad could always be counted on.
