I am a 33+ year journeyman lineman out of 1547 Fairbanks , Alaska . On November 27 th I lost my brother Lindsay Spencer in an aerial electrocution accident while he was working for International Line Builders in Hayward , California . The accident is still under investigation , and at this time I feel it is inappropriate of me to speculate on the cause of my brothers death . I felt compelled to write to JLC however , after hearing of another lineman's death on Monday , Dec. 11 th in Fresno , California . We have lost two Jry. Lineman here in Alaska in the last several months . Do we need to have a day to stand down ? Be safe guys --- take your time --- think safety !!! My brother leaves behind a three year old son -- the light of his life , Wyley Charles Spencer . A trust account has been set up in Wyleys name at Credit Union 1 314 Steese Hwy. Fairbanks , Alaska 99701. Rick Spencer ps: There is solidarity in brotherhood!
