October 2004
 President Jim McGee opened our meeting with a moment of silence for the passing of Bud Eiding, our retiree’s club president and fifty year member of Local 14.  Our condolences go out to his family.  He will be sadly missed by all.  A motion was made and passed that we give a $200.00 contribution in Bud’s name, to the mesothelioma research fund.

 Long time member, Tom Buhalo, attended out meeting on September 21st.  He’s doing great and looked 
Like he just stepped out of Esquire magazine.  Tom had a lung transplant a short time ago.  He explained the operation from start to finish.  He waited seven years for a lung.  After receiving word that they finally had one for him, he was flown to the hospital and in hours had a new lung.  He was up and around in four days and on the treadmill.  Tom, you are an inspiration to all of us.  Thank you so much for your encouraging words.

 The Mike Condon memorial golf tournament will be held on October 4, 2004 at the River Winds golf club in West Deptford, New Jersey.  Golf will be $140.00 per person.  Anyone interested should contact Linda Casatere at (609) 828-5944.

 Our trip to the Radio  City Christmas show on November 23rd is sold out.  Our bus will leave the union hall at 9:00 A.M. sharp.  We will be going to the 2:30 P.M. show.

 Our Christmas luncheon with the ladies on December 7th will be held at the Rosebrier Restaurant at 12:00 noon.  There will be no charge for members who have paid their dues.  Cost for ladies is $25.00.  Chairman Larry Durham and Bill Imperatore would like to hear from you if you and your lady are going to attend.  Please send your check to Local 14 retirees club or see Larry or Bill at our next meeting.  All members are requested to bring a door prize.  We need the count of people going for the caterer, so if you are planning on going and have not yet signed up, please do so now.

 We do not yet have a date for the Local 14 retirees Christmas party.

 Our fishing trip was the best one yet.  The ocean was flat.  Not a wave to be seen anywhere.  Everyone filled their buckets.  Fish were all over the boat.  Biggie Chester caught so many fish that his arm gave out.  We had two pools on this trip.  Winners were George Griggs and John VanHorn.  Money goes to money.  The date for our striper trip will be November 15th.  This will be a six hour trip on the new Starfish.  Captain Bob would like to leave the dock at 7:00 A.M. so don’t be late.

 Anyone needing a screen door hung can call Bill Rothermel.

 Attorney Ed Reeves came to our meeting asking for information from any member who worked with Paul Schultz who passed away with mesothelioma leaving a wife and three children.  If you can offer any information, please call (215) 860-6800.

 Did you notice how lonesome Charles Davis looked at the refreshment table without Ray Boyce.
