The Gulf Power Crist Plant is apparently named after "James F. Crist." The only things I see online is that [1] he wrote a book about the power companies called They Electrified the South and [2] assuming it's the same guy, he died in 1980 — a year before the book was published. Maybe everyone felt bad that this guy doing research on the company died before his book got finished? --Admin 16:31, 15 April 2008 (CDT)
