Life of longtime Aiken Electric worker Frank Sorgee Jr.
Frank Sorgee Jr. aged 17 joined Aiken Electric Cooperative in August 1945 as World War II ended. He rose through the ranks to become data processing supervisor after an on‑the‑job accident redirected his career from lineman to clerk and computer expert. A beloved colleague and retiree with 45 years of service, he was active in the Short Circuit Club and Masonic Lodge 156 A.F.M., cherished photography, and valued family and friends. He died October 15 after a brief illness.

Bush Boosts Aggression in Final Debate
In a caustic late showdown Bush abandoned gentility and attacked Clinton for most of the 99 minutes. Clinton defended Arkansas and Perot pressed both on Iraq and the NAFTA stance. Bush claimed a late surge but the race outlook remained grim as Clinton aimed to close, while Perot demanded disclosure of prewar talks.
