Iain Jenkins (left) accepts the Exceptional Achievement Service Award from Bill Nielsen on behalf of his grandfather, 老爱德华·詹金斯.
 

Mr. Jenkins was born April 19, 1914 in Shelby, North 卡罗ina. His mother was a secretary and a schoolteacher. His father was a salesman, blacksmith, cabinet and furniture maker, and a farmer.

When growing up, it was obvious he was a quick learner. 事实上, he learned so quickly that he was able to skip the fifth grade, and ultimately graduate from high school at age 16. 那是1930年.

四年后, he graduated with honors having earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from North 卡罗ina State University. That put him in the job market in the midst of the Great Depression. Electrical equipment manufacturers and utilities weren’t hiring, so he decided to look into electric motor repair.

He picked up the Yellow Pages and started down the list of repair facilities. The first listing was Armature Winding Company. He contacted them and was hired. He worked there until 1969 when he purchased the repair side of the business.

从那时起, he has operated one of the most successful and respected electric motor repair facilities in the southeastern United States. He is admired and respected by customers and other EASA members for his commitment to service.

多年来, he has been an enthusiastic supporter of EASA and was an active volunteer in his chapter. He is a past president of the 东南章. Mr. Jenkins has been associated with member companies of this Association spanning back more than 70 years to the early days of NISA.

His commitment is evident in the nominating letters we received. 例如，其中一条写道:

EASA members (I talked with) spoke very highly of him and how he had helped many people in the electric motor repair business. Even if a question came from a competitor and he could answer it, he was always willing to help our industry in any way he could.” Another read: “In every organization there are a few individuals who are respected and admired above all others. (He) is one of those exceptional individuals. He earned the utmost respect of every EASA member who ever called him for help because of his keen knowledge of electric motors, transformers and switchgear.
