From MARVIN GRIFFIN, Pavillion, WY
"RUDY,
I paid my lifetime membership dues about five
years ago. I haven't paid the $3.00 convention assessment, however. Thanks
for reminding me. Here is a check for the last five years. I'll be more
prompt in the future. Say hello to the greatest bunch of guys in the world for me. If any
of you get down in this neck of the woods, look me up.
My best to all of my brothers. MARVIN GRIFFIN."
Were pleased with MARVIN keeping up on assessments. Thanks.
From JERRY TYLER, Everett, WA.
"Dear Brothers and Sisters:
I've just returned from a couple of weeks in the
hospital. I didn't even know I had a gall bladder until its stones belted
me. Many times during that ordeal (as I have many times since I retired,
January 1, 1977) I declared to myself - and anyone else within earshot -
"Thank god for Harry Bridges and the I.L.W.U.!"
You never know how much you need that pension and those health benefits
until the need strikes you.
I want to thank all the working membership for
including the pensions and health benefits of us retirees in their wage
packet."
Fraternally,
J.T. JERRY TYLER, 55650, retired."
Thanks for your great message, JERRY. And our best wishes for a full and
robust recovery! As you state so clearly, when it comes to worker welfare,
nothing beats a strong union.
From BERNICE VELATEGUI, Mercer Island, WA.
"Just a little ($200.00!) to help - put it into whatever needs help the most.
Thanks,
BERNICE VELATIGUI (husband "FRENCHIE")
Thanks very much for your generosity BERNICE. Especially from the
feminine side which we truly appreciate
From CLINT (STUBBY) STUBSJOEN,
Danville, KY.
Fellow
Pensioners, Here the $30.00 assessment. That should take care of me for a
while.
Tell
RUDY no more letters - save the postage.
Everything's fine here in Kentucky but I miss the
work and the card playing. These guys "Caesars" are a little
tougher than the fellows at the hall.
Hope this finds everyone O.K.
Tell
SMITTY I've got lots of Trains for sale.
Best regards'
CLINT (STUBBY) STUBSJOEN
P.S. Tell NO NECK hello - use the rest to have one on me."
Thanks,
"STUBBY."
From our regular, TANK NELSON, Morro Bay, CA.
"ART, DEL, CURT, FRED:
Columns
are just for fun, but thank you for the play. - $,s 4 donuts. Laugh
lots."
TANK
Thank you TANK for what is becoming regular. He didn't send the usual
columns (or were they displaced in our efficiency challenged office?)
Sorry if they are thereby left out. Anyway, thanks for the $20.00,
From W.B. KNITTLE, Olympia, WA.
No message, but a very welcome $50.00 for RUSTY HOOK.
Thank you much, Brother KNITTLE.
