Johnny and I were new hires at TVA in 1961. When draft notices arrived in December Johnny convinced me that we should apply for the Navy Civil Engineer Corps. That decision was probably the most significant in my lifetime. I was a few months ahead in the Navy so Johnny asked my advice on staying with the Civil Engineer Corps. I advised - just decide if you want to be a civil engineer or a nuclear engineer. And the rest is history.

I interviewed with Johnny Elliot in May 1975 and from that interview was hired at Duke Power into the Nuclear Fuels Group. His interview led to a great 42 year career with Duke. Johnny was a wonderful mentor and guide in my early years there. Mike Glover
As his neighbor, we shard many interesting conversations of the past and present. He could speak on any subject and was always interested in what you thought about one thing or another. He loved being outside, and was a fixture on his front porch during all kinds of weather, where I can still see him as I walk or ride by his house.
I fondly remember working for Johnny in the Nuclear Fuels Group of the Design Engineering Department during the years of 1974 to approximately 1980. Those were dynamic times when we were involved with Oconee, McGuire, Catawba, Perkins and Cherokee nuclear designs. He was a great mentor and friend who will be deeply missed.
