Anthony Harrison is a real-life hero

He doesn’t wear a cape, nonetheless Anthony Harrison, Electric Distribution-HHSC, is a real-life hero. Ask Kathy Hughes. She’ll tell you how Harrison stopped her car from crashing into her living room when she inadvertently forgot to put the car in “park” in her driveway. Harrison was working nearby when he heard Hughes’ plea for help. He jumped a fence and managed to get the car under control as it rolled toward Hughes’ home, before any calamity.


Hughes was so grateful, she offered compensation; Harrison declined. “Just doing my job,” he said. So, Hughes composed a letter to the Commercial Appeal editor to thank him.

The MLGW Board of Commissioners honored Harrison at a recent board meeting for his quick and selfless thinking; an appreciative Hughes attended the meeting to see the fence-jumping, car-stopping crew member get his due.
