CORRESPONDENCE
From Professor DAVID OLSON
Harry Bridges Chair Emeritus,
Dear RUSTY HOOK,
Each issue of
the RUSTY HOOK brings me information on the most recent struggles for worker
rights and social justice. I read every word of your wonderful publication, and
I am most pleased to support it.
In
1992 when I was named the inaugural holder of the Harry Bridges Chair in Labor
Studies, at the University of Washington, it was the highlight of my career.
That career
comes to an end June 30, 2005, when I retire.
In
retirement I look forward to joining with all the PCPA members in remaining
active and outspoken about workers’ rights and social justice. I am honored to
be an honorary member of the Local 19 Pensioner’s Association. The work that I
have done with you over these past 13 years has been among the most rewarding of
my career. I came to appreciate the work of all of you, remembering now MARTIN
JUGUM, DICK MOORK, GUS RYSTAD, RUDY MARTINEZ, and now DICK MELTON, BOB ROGERS.
But, as with the ILWU union, it is the membership of Local 19’s Pensioners
Association that brought the greatest reward.
Keep
doing all the good work you are doing. I admire what you do, and how you do it,
very greatly.
Enclosed
is $100.00 bucks to keep the RUSTY HOOK coming.
In Solidarity,
DAVID OLSON
Harry Bridges Chair Emeritus

Attention Editorial Staff,
Your RUSTY HOOK last
time was a masterpiece! My father was a loyal member of the Locomotive Engineers
Union in Idaho Falls, ID from the
very early years in the 1900’s. As you know JIM BROWN of Seattle was my
husband from 1974 through 1990.
Thanks
for all you do on our behalf.
Sincerely,
SIBYL BROWN

Dear CURT,
I’ve been out of action for the last six months but I hope to be back in the

good work you do with the RUSTY HOOK and keep giving the Republicans hell.
Yours
truly,
JOHN JOHNSON
