Alabama NewsCenter — A half-century on the job, Alabama Power’s Warner Patterson isn’t thinking about retirement

By Carla Davis

Although he has reached his 50-year milestone at Alabama Power, Warner Patterson said retirement is not even on his radar.

“I don’t fish, hunt or play golf, and I’m not into football,” said 69-year-old Patterson, training supervisor in the Training Center at the General Services Complex. “I’m not here for the money, but I just can’t sit at home. I’ve got to do something, so why leave?”

Patterson’s co-workers said his experience and knowledge will be missed when he decides to take that next step. With 28 years at the Training Center, along with nearly two decades in Power Delivery Distribution and Transmission, it’s no wonder.
