The International Lineman's Museum started in 1996 in Shelby, North Carolina, in a display case at American Safety Corporation. Over the years, as the collection of historic photos, tools and signs grew, the exhibits moved upstairs into a 2,000-sq-ft space. In mid-2025, the museum, Lineman's Hall of Fame and FLO's memorial statue will have a new home in Leesburg, Florida. To hear Andy Price, the museum's founder, share his story about the collection and what to expect at the new location, listen to this episode and visit the website.

With the 40th anniversary of the International Lineman's Rodeo only a few weeks away, we are airing the audio version of the story, "Cheers to 40 Years," from the September 2024 T&D World Lineworker Supplement. This story explores the history of the event and how volunteers come together each year to provide a week of fun, competition and camaraderie for the line trade. Pick up your copy of the supplement at the Expo, read the story online and stop by the T&D World Booth #73 to participate in a podcast recording. We look forward to seeing you there!

For Part 2 of our series featuring Chad Dubea, we are highlighting the Fallen Linemen Organization (FLO), which helps families of wounded or fallen lineworkers in their time of need. After working in the line trade, Chad was looking for a way to give back to the industry he loved, and he founded the FLO to help families of lineworkers.

During the episode, we also explore his role as the executive director of the 2016 movie, "Life on the Line," starring John Travolta and Sharon Stone, as well as his work to promote the line trade through the Drivin' for Linemen 200 NASCAR truck race.

In addition, he describes the plans for moving the bronze lineworker memorial statue to Florida, the new home of the International Lineman's Museum. To learn more, stay tuned for a future Line Life Podcast episode featuring Andy Price, the founder of the International Lineman's Museum.
