Our meetings usually have 35 to 45 members attending. Many of our members have moved to Florida and become Snow Birds. Bros. Bob Martin and Chet Dunlop, two good union brother retirees, are in ill health. We send them our prayers and best wishes. Chet was a very active brother in the union movement, and his son Dale worked at the I.O. in Washington. He and I served on the Golf Committee for Local 90 tournaments. Our annual outing was an outstanding affair as usual, with excellent food. It was great to see and reminisce with members we dont often see. E.T. Evarts, P.S. |
