Wired for Lunch

By John Hickey
Dave Thompson’s Industrial Wiring class recently got some real-world wiring experience courtesy of the Pizza Place on Blizzard Drive. They were treated to Sicilian pizza, too, proving that there is such a thing as a free lunch.

When the Pizza Place owner, Frank Scotto, learned that employee Ken McCloy was a student in WVUP’s Engineering Technology-Electronics program, he suggested that McCloy recruit his classmates (and their professor) to perform some re-lamping and minor electrical repairs around the shop. It took little persuasion to gain the unanimous agreement of the ELEC 133 class and that of Instructor Thompson.
