Buckel to retire from Franklin REC

Fran Buckel, general manager at Franklin REC, announced his retirement during Franklin REC’s annual meeting on April.

     “If all goes as planned this will be the last time you will see me at an annual meeting,” Buckel said.

     Buckel plans to retire in January 2016 to spend more time with his family. He thanked members for their support during his 22 years as general manager, and shared his opinion on what makes Franklin REC special. He mentioned Operation Roundup, a member-supported program that provides monetary donations for people and organizations in need; Exede Internet and FirstCall Emergency Response services; economic development programs; and the co-op’s grassroots efforts to communicate with legislators.
