L.U. 150 (es,i,rts&spa), WAUKEGAN, IL — We wish and hope everyone had a happy new year, and that each local’s work outlook is going strong in 2024!
At our Christmas meeting, we awarded retirement watches and service pins for those with more than 50 years of service. We would like to congratulate and wish good luck to the 26 members who received their retirement watches: May you have a long and memorable retirement!
We were also honored to present 11 members with 50-year pins, eight members with 55-year pins and three members with 60-year pins, and we recognize Brother Raymond Holst for receiving his 70-year service pin. Congratulations and thank you all for your lifelong dedication and service to the IBEW and Local 150!
Our Christmas meeting is a time for celebration, and it is also a time for remembrance. With sad and heavy hearts, we report the deaths of the following brothers in 2023: Roger K. Ankley Sr. (former business manager), Raymond Berger, Dave R. “Soup” Campbell, Jerry M. Cole, Robert E. “Bobby” Drews, Chad M. Dunn, Kent A. Ferguson, Steven W. Fritsch, Joshua A. Grams, Kenneth F.
