THE VAIL MEDAL — awarded to telephone
employees for noteworthy public service — was
established as a memorial to Theodore N. Vail,
former President of American Telephone and Tele
graph Company.
THE FIRST FLOOD WARNING reached
Homer, Nebraska, at 2:00 A.M. In the
telephone central office. Chief Operator
Mildred Lothrop took the call.
“Cloudburst up the valley here—
there’s a wall of water heading your
way!”
Mrs. Lothrop quickly notified the fire
department, town officials and business
men. Then, one by one she began calling
i
each telephone subscriber. As the raging
water rose rapidly, she worked on. Only
when power failed did she leave her
switchboard. Wading through swift,
shoulder-high waters, she was barely
able to reach a safe spot.
Twenty years later, almost to the day,
a second severe flood struck. Again Mrs.
Lothrop played a heroic role—warning
the town, organizing and directing rescue
workers, and as before, ignoring her own
personal safety.
For each of her outstanding acts,
Mildred Lothrop was presented with a
Vail Gold Medal and a $1000 cash
award, plus the heartfelt thanks of her
community. She is the only person in
the United States ever to receive two
Vail Gold Medal Awards.
While this true story describes an un
usual emergency it also demonstrates
the “spirit of service” that telephone
people everywhere apply to their impor
tant everyday job—the job of bringing
you good, dependable telephone service.
IT’S FOR YOU...
