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. :)


Congratulations. I know it's meaningful to you.

That certainly is quite an achievement. Hats off to Harry.

Add my kudos also. That's a *hell* of a lot more impressive than 30
years in the damn Army!
