Eddie Guthrie, current resident of Omaha, is one of the last survivors from Nebraska of the Japanese Bombing Raid on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Eddie was aboard the USS Whitney, a destroyer tender, as an Electrician's Mate in Pearl Harbor.
Following WWII, Eddie became employed as an Electrician at Omaha Public Power District where he served with distinction . Following his retirement, he has been a spokesman for the dwindling number of survivors of the DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY (President Delano Roosevelt - 1941).
Ron's note: I worked closely with Eddie at OPPD for 4 years, he was a switch man which meant that he had to travel around the District operating high Voltage switches as required for maintenance or for storm recovery and isolation.
