Did you know the iconic 1967 image known as 'The Kiss of Life' was taken by Jacksonville Times-Union photographer Rocco Morabito? He was returning from covering another story when he saw lineman Randall Champion dangling from a power pole after receiving a tremendous shock. Lineman J.D. Thompson climbed down from a nearby pole, ran 400 feet and climbed up to Champion where he tried to bring him back to life -- and he did! Champion survived and he, Thompson, and Morabito became friends -- and the photo won the Pulitzer Prize. #LineLife #LinemanAppreciation #CareersInEnergy
