It’s no wonder history fascinates Meter Supervisor Dan Cochard.

Growing up on a golf course west of Albion, he’s immersed himself in the history of Noble County, from reading his favorite book – Alvord’s History of Noble County (the 1895 edition, of course) – to searching for American Indian artifacts to learning his great-granddad was a Noble REMC board member who signed up original members.

Now he’s leaving his own legacy and passing on his family’s history to his five children and three grandchildren (with one on the way), while celebrating more than 35 years at Noble REMC, where he began as a meter reader before transitioning to a lineman and serviceman and eventually earning his role as meter supervisor.
