Another
"no message" from MIKE CASO, Seattle:
$50.00 for the RUSTY
HOOK.
Such
"no message" donations speak words to strengthen the cause of the
RUSTY
HOOK and our ILWU. Thanks a lot, MIKE!
A
very welcome message from
LEWIS LOU LOVERIDGE, Carson, CA.,
in support of our
convention expense, $50.00 donation. It should be noted that LOU'S contribution
is strictly volunteer since he is not a northwest member. It is doubly
appreciated. He says:
"Dear
Fraternal Brothers:
I have enclosed a small token for your Pensioners
upcoming Convention expenses.
I am looking forward to being there if
God willing.
I have always sincerely enjoyed and
appreciated the solidarity, comradeship and friendship of all your active
members, delegates to conventions and caucuses also since retiring your
pensioners, widows, etc., especially at all the pensioners conventions. I also
appreciate receiving your "RUSTY HOOK" newsletter. I also appreciate
phone calls from PAUL McCABE and others.
I wish to thank your group that
recognized and sent cards, calls, etc. regarding the passing of my wife DOROTHY.
I have always considered Seattle a home
away from home. Fraternally
and
best wishes for the New Year.
LOU LOVERIDGE."
Again we express our appreciation, LOU.
It is Old Timers like you that have built the solidarity and union cause that we
all enjoy. May the fates look kindly upon you.
Another $20.00 donation to the RUSTY HOOK comes from a long time supporter, JOHN
EHLY, Tacoma. No message except the one that counts, financial support. Thanks
again, JOHN. We know we can always count on you for the cause of strong
unionism.
From
JOHN S. or ALICIA M. BRACE, Dipotog City, Philiphines:

Last but not least we wish to call attention to an outstanding donation to
convention expense from A. V. "BUD" HAVLISCH who sends a whopping
$500.00 for our PCPA convention. He writes:
