Earl Pottorff Memorial Scholars Named 

Two Frontier Community College Electrical Distribution Systems students Caleb Hardy, from Opdyke, and Jeffrey Short, from Newton, were recently awarded the Earl R. Pottorff Memorial Scholarship.
 
The late Earl Pottorff was born in Fairfield but built a 37-year career with Commonwealth Edison Company, the largest electric utility company in Illinois serving Chicago and Northern Illinois. Earl and his wife Lorraine settled in Fairfield after his retirement, where he lived until his passing in 2012. Lorraine established the scholarship in December 2012 to honor Earl and help others begin a career in the public utility field.
