For 28 years now, David Estes has been producing top quality printing for East Kentucky Power Cooperative.

"I really just liked the process," Estes contends. "I liked working with ink and paper. The whole printing process really intrigued me."

In 1981, while still a student, Estes heard about a job opening at EKPC. He decided it was time to enter the working world, and left school to take the position of junior printer at the power cooperative's in-plant. Estes started out printing forms and employee magazines on the shop's old ABDick and Davidson presses. Now, after 28 years at the same shop, the industry veteran wouldn't change a thing.
