We are saddened to report that retired Ninth District International Representative Donna Hansen died on Nov. 22.

Hansen began her union career as a shop steward representing Santa Ana, Calif., Local 2125 at Rockwell's aerospace plant. She was elected business manager of the predominantly manufacturing local which was later amalgamated with Los Angeles Local 2295.

Hansen relocated to Northern California and participated in several organizing drives as an International representative including campaigns in Texas, at Portland Gas and Electric in Oregon and at Fort Irwin, where the union sought to recruit technicians who specialized in radar and satellite technologies. She retired in 2001.

The officers and staff send our condolences to Sister Hansen's family.
