The cover model for the 100 year annivesary book published by the Minnesota Telecom Alliance wasn’t a model. Jill Jantzen, who adorned the cover of MTA’s book on the history of Minnesota telecom, is a technician with Pine Island Telephone.  She was an appropriate representative for a group that has been progressive from its inception.  It was a pleasure and an honor to meet Jill, as she typifies the type of person who keeps rural telecom strong; she literally does everything from climbing poles to repairing cables inside the home, while raising three young kids.  Hats off to Jill for a job well done.
