Thanks for the link and information on copy and paste. I was and still am not real comfortable with copying and pasteing but I feel better now and that's what this forum is all about. That said, I found some very enlightening information in Soares Grounding that covers the subject of this thread. Check out p.118 of Soares Grounding 8th edition. It appears that coming out of muliple Service panel and running to the Grounding Electrode with a GEC is one of many ways of complying with the NEC.
