From LOUIE CASTILLO, Miami, FL.
(much censored.) "Brothers: Just returned from Costa Rica where I
spent three weeks trying to forget the Cubans of Miami. During my stay in
San Jose, took place the meeting of the American State O.A.S.
(Organization of American States). "All the Foreign Secretaries of
the countries were present, only Colin Powell was not there... During my
stay in San Jose some American friends gave me the picture of Bush and the
monkeys, so I am sending it to you. Well friends this is all for now, keep
punching and like always, your friend and brother.
LOUIE."
Thank you for your chatty letter, LOUIE, We hope you don't take offense
at the censorship. Some of your words were unprintable in the RUSTY HOOK.
From ROBERT McELLRATH,
ILWU International Vice President, San Francisco, CA.
"Dear Brother Martinez,
I traveled to Australia this past April to attend contract caucus for the
upcoming Patrick's negotiations for the Maritime Union of Australia (M.U.A.).
We were well received. The ILWU received many thanks for its support. I
visited as many ports as I could in the time available. I also had the
opportunity to attend John Coombs retirement celebration
In my travels I meet a lot of retirees and one gave me his address. I
thought if the pensioners from the areas could send fliers like the "
The Old Timer" it would be another way for us to strengthen our
solidarity and support. I hope everyone is doing well.
Fraternally,
ROBERT Mc ELLRATH"
We have put the address you sent us on our mailing list and TONY ADCOCK
will receive the September PCPA convention issue. We appreciate your
suggestion
From JERRY TYLER, Everett, WA.
"$100.00 contribution to convention."
Thanks, again, JERRY. He always comes through for a good cause even
while going through personal health problems.
