William Rose, Local 53, Kansas City, Missouri: I nominate for office an individual who has been a member of this great union for 44 years and has relentlessly dedicated himself to perpetuating the ideals of Henry Miller and other founding fathers. His uncompromising beliefs and dedication to serving members rise above any politics or personal ambitions. He is Lyle Keith Querry, whose name I place in nomination.

I.E.C. Member Lyle Keith Querry
5th District

IEC Member Lyle Keith Querry: Thank you, Billy. He’s a journeyman lineman. He works with the tools every day. I know no other professional life other than within the IBEW. It has been a mother to me; it has nurtured me, as I know it has you. I want to thank the delegates and the members of the Fifth IEC District. In my opinion, you are the best of the best, and you allow me to be a leader of equals.
