Not sure exactly where, who or when...but this is a great photo of a couple guys atop a power pole with glass insulators upon it. Note the handwritten message. Quite possibly these were linemen who roved building new lines across states and regions with notations (as we see here) sent to loved ones back home stating all is going along as planned and with His Blessings all of the work gang are safe, healthy and doing well ;-)
