...to me.

I know most of you won't care, but a couple of you might...

I'll be celebrating two anniversaries this year with the two unions in
which I hold membership...

Twenty Five Years as a full dues-paying member with one union, and

Thirty Five Years as a member of another union.

Non-competing unions. Never a break in service.

I'm on "inactive" status with the second union, but still pay a reduced
rate annual dues of a couple hundred dollars, and I am proud to do so.

I'll be a full retiree with my 25-year-member union shortly, and will only
pay "social dues" to my local from now on. That covers my contribution for
the monthly get-together meal and our annual bull roast.

The years, they just flew by. :)


That is an achievement..especially to those who care for others as much as
they care for themselves.
Congratulations.
My BVI buddy and I went to see a couple of old buddies who are stuck long
term in the hospital.
We celebrated our good health with lunch at the local Hooters. That made me
glad to be alive & kicking.
