Kathryne K. Hamill, who has been with Halifax Electric Membership
Corporation over 46 years retired as of April 4, 2008. Mrs. Hamill
came to work with HEMC on December 11, 1961 as the billing clerk.
Previously, she was employed with Enfield Building Supply. She holds
the distinction of being the longest employed employee to retire from
Halifax EMC.
 

Since coming to Halifax EMC, Mrs. Hamill has seen many changes in
the facilities from the old building to a new building and then an office
renovation; in personnel as there have been four general managers
during her 46 years; and in methods of billing such as from manual billing
to computer billing.
 

On Friday, April 4, Mrs. Hamill was honored for her
Years of dedicated service to the cooperative by the directors, employees,
former retirees, friends and family. As Mrs. Hamill is an excellent gardener
and loves to work in her yard, the employees presented her with a wooden
garden bench, garden tools, and many plants. She was also presented with a plaque and monetary gift from the board of directors. She will be greatly missed at Halifax EMC, not only for her extensive knowledge of the cooperative that she acquired over the last 46 years, but also for her warmth, friendship, and caring for members and fellow employees.
