Written in Stone                 My life in Orlando
 

The book
Louis Stone was born in Orlando Florida on June 4th 1924 and died Sept 22, 2016.  He was a part of what has been called the greatest generation for what they accomplished as a nation, protecting freedom which lead to the greatest changes in human events that took place in the 20th century.  In 1924 the horse and buggy was still primary transportation for the majority, but he lived to see men on the moon, and so many other technical and social changes since that time.

  Lou's proudest accomplishment was the privilege to work for Orlando Utilities and be a leader in the construction of 3 power plants, managing the overall electric division and leading the charge that OUC lead by being the most reliable utility in the state. He was the original Mr. Reliability that OUC continues to hold as its principle mission.

After Lou retired from OUC he was able to give more time to dedicate to his love of flying, and preforming all of the maintenance of his high performance Mooney airplanes.

This is his story about growing up and living in Orlando.
