From son, Chris - Thank you for the great pictures of Dad and his High School Bio. Mom and Dad have always had fond memories of Mt Lebanon High School. Because of Covid-19 we waited until this month (June) to have Dad's service. He will be laid to rest in the memorial garden at Wayne Presbyterian Church in Wayne, PA. Again thanks for sharing your content. - June 2021 Bud Keen wrote: Sorry to report that Ray Mangold's wife Nancy called me yesterday to tell me that Ray died Dec. 24, 2020. Bud Keen talked to Ray and Nancy Mangold today. Ray asked me to send the website to him. They have been in the Philadelphia area for sometime. Hope he will update his info to you. January 2018 Ray and Nancy are planning on coming to the 65th Reunion - February 2013 We moved back to Pennsylvania in the early part of 2009. We are still getting along pretty well at our new address which is a continuing care community called Shannondell in Audubon, PA. Fortunately we are still able to reside in the Independent Living section and enjoy the area with several children and grandchildren near by. Hope you all are doing well and that I will be hearing something from you re Mt L HS in the future. Lot's of snow around here now, just like the old days in Pgh. - Ray - February 2010 On Tuesday, May 19th we begin a household move from our Virginia home to a retirement community named Shannondell located Audubon, PA (Adjacent to Valley Forge). As of the 21st our new address will be 23622 Shannondell Dr, Audubon, PA, 19403 with phone number of 610 382-2180. Our e-mail address will change also. - Come see us. Ray - May 2009 May 2007: Thanks for asking. We are very much enjoying the greatly increased contacts with our five children and their families since we moved to Virginia. We have our typical old age pains but so far nothing bad. Try to keep physically active. Hope all is well with you and your family. Really looking forward to the 60th. Ray January 2007: Just for the record I thought I might update my place on the web site. After ten years in lovely Savannah, Georgia, Nancy and I moved north to Williamsburg, Virginia. So we will try for ten more here in Fords Colony. We decided to get more centered among our five children who are spread from Albany, NY down to Henagar, AL. All of them can make it to the colony with a one day drive now . Played golf with Bud Keen (Virginia Beach) in Williamsburg before Christmas so that is another benefit of the move.
We are looking forward to the next reunion. WHEN IS IT? December 2004: Nancy and I are still out here even though we missed the last reunion. We are still enjoying Savannah and had a great get together with all 18 family members (7 grandchildren) in NYC at Thanksgiving. We will have a quiet but happy Christmas. We wish you very much the same. Merry CHRISTmas. Boy that glacier looks cold (He's referring to the picture of Kay & Bill Erdman in Alaska). - Ray Mangold
Information found by Tom Arganbeight (deceased), May 2008: Nancy MacBeth died March 11, 1998 in Harrisburg, PA. Bill Erdman, WebMaster: This will be a very tough one to write. Nancy was a neighbor that I enjoyed great outdoor fun with. I used to go to her house at every opportunity to play with her and her friends in their back yard. One day she invited me in for some lemonade and we started wrestling in the living room. That was the day I realized that girls were different from boys! Nancy felt different from the guys I used to wrestle with. I was so unnerved that I went home early and never went back - Ah for the naive days when we grew up. Kids today don't have these earthquake type experiences anymore. They know too much too soon! Nancy, I've always wanted to talk with you to see if you remember that momentous day - I'm sure you wouldn't have and I probably have been too embarrassed to ask you. You are a special person to me. Bill, May 2008

DONALD H.
MARTIN
Deceased: Don Martin, December 31, 2014 Of Greentree, age 84, passed away due to renal failure on Monday, December 29, 2014. Don is survived by his wife, Mary Lou; a son, Steven and wife, Patty; two daughters, Susan Ruttenberg and husband, Daymon and Nancy; grandsons, Sean and Steven; granddaughters, Lisa Casey and husband, Chris and Ashley Davis and husband, Benjamin. He is also survived by great-granddaughters, Chelsey and Camryn; as well as his brother, Richard. Don was a lover of the outdoors and passed on his passion for skiing, as well as hunting and fishing to his children and grandchildren. He also enjoyed tennis and golf. Don was in his element during family camping trips, especially to Kelleys Island, Ohio, as well as family ski trips to Seven Springs and vacations to the shore. Don was a graduate of Mt. Lebanon High School, attended Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia and graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in engineering. He worked for a number of years for Trane Corporation in the HVAC field and eventually owning his own business. Don was a lifelong resident of the Pittsburgh area and was an avid fan of all of the city's sports teams. From the days of the Steelers playing in Pitt Stadium, the Pirates at Forbes Field and the Pens in the "Igloo” you could find Don in the stands with his children or grandchildren. The family would like to thank all of the wonderful, caring personnel of Kane Hospital, Scott Township, Celtic Hospice, and the Allegheny County Dept. of Aging for the love and attention that they extended to Don and his family in their time of need. A celebration of Don's life will be scheduled at a later date. The family respectfully requests that memorial contributions be made to the Kane Foundation, 300 Kane Blvd., Pittsburgh, PA 15234. From Tom Arganbeight (deceased), December 31st, 2012: I talked with Don Martin’s wife and he is still suffering some from his stroke but is getting along OK. Don has had some strokes this year, one fairly massive that has paralyzed him and he has to use a walker. He and Mary Lou live in a small condo on Old Green Tree Rd. in Carnegie. Mary Lou does some substitute teaching at Chartiers Valley HS. Mary Lou answers all phone calls, the number is available - just email Bill at email listed at the bottom of this page. I talked to Don this morning who said it was OK to put the info about his condition on our website. Tom Arganbeight (deceased) – December 2011 Don doesn't have a home PC so there is no email between us. I'm not sure if he's ever seen our website. Don moved to Mt. Lebanon (Sunset Hills) from Wilkensburg during our senior year, hence no photo in the Log. He went to Virginia Tech for two years and while there met Mary Lou and got married. He ended up finishing at Pitt. He and Mary Lou have 3 children, a son and 2 daughters. In 1966, when I moved back to Upper St. Clair, he lived 2 doors away. He worked on our 20 and 25 th reunion committees. He's had a long career in the heating and air conditioning business and is still working. He and Mary Lou plan to attend the reunion so if you talk to him maybe he can give you some "hot current" info. - Tom (deceased) - August 2008 Note from Tom (deceased), 7/12/2000: Hi Bill, You have a good point about only adding pictures of those who have notified they have e-mail address. Other side of the coin is those surfing our site and wondering what ever happened to good old Don can at least see he's alive. Yesterday I phoned his wife and she admitted they aren't on the internet. Don had worked many years for Trane on commercial air conditioning. His wife says he's still working and is in an engineering business with Bill McSteen's brother Dave. If I get more info on them, I'll let you know. Tom (deceased)
Information found by Tom Arganbeight (deceased), May 2008, confirms Carl Mastandrea died July 26, 2002, in Pittsburgh, PA From Bill Erdman, WebMaster: Bob Woeber (deceased) just advised me that George Dulski and Carl Mastandrea are reported as deceased. I did not know either one of them very well but I mourn their passing just the same. Sorry I have so little information to report about them other than Carl was a "Doctor." Bill, May 2003
Information found by Tom Arganbeight (deceased), May 2008: Don Matthews died March 1, 1993 in Pittsburgh, PA. From Bill Erdman, WebMaster: Don was a favorite of mine from high school. He was a pleasant guy that seemed to get along with everyone. I guess the girls would have called him, "The strong, silent type." Whatever. I wish i knew more about his accomplishments in life. Bill, May 2008
Information found by Tom Arganbeight (deceased), May 2008: Howie McAfoos died July 1976 in Las Vega, NV.
50th Reunion I just received my mom's (Pat McCarthy) invite to the 55th reunion. I see on your website it shows mom passed away in March of this year. It was actually on July 17, 2001, when Jesus called her home. She was diagnosed with lung cancer and passed away just 4 weeks later. Her loving family and friends miss her terribly but rest in the assurance that we will be reunited in our next life together. Her family consists of her wonderful husband, Jim; their 4 children (Jim Jr., Bill, and Sue Fetherlin, and Donna Fetherlin Houser), 1 precious grandchild (Tommy Houser). Her sister, Peggy McCarthy, still resides in Pittsburgh. Please feel free to contact me if you want additional information. Sue Fetherlin From Bill Erdman, WebMaster: Too soon! Seems like I just wrote about Virginia Smalley's death and now Pat McCarthy. To date we have 74 classmates that we don't have any record of them and 73 listed as deceased! What a loss that we were never able to thank each of them for whatever effect (good or bad) they had on our lives. Like it or not, we were a group on the way to somewhere when we graduated. Almost 55 years later we know just a little about the 245 kids we went to high school with that are still alive. If we assume* that those listed as "lost" are also deceased, 147 out of 379 known graduates are dead - 39%. Over one third of us! Yep. It sounds morbid but unfortunately its true. Make today count and call your spouse, kids, grandkids and tell them how much they mean to you. Bill, March 2003

John Foster "Jack" McCune, 76, a popular history teacher and Upper School head at St. Albans School who returned from retirement to serve as the school's headmaster in the late 1990s, died of complications from leukemia May 9 at Sibley Memorial Hospital. During his three decades at the upper Northwest academy for the sons of Washington's wealthy and elite, Mr. McCune taught, coached football, basketball and tennis and directed the history department, international seminars and summer school. He was dean of faculty and head of college counseling at a school that routinely sends more than a handful of its graduates to the Ivy League. Described by colleagues as intelligent and graceful, he was dubbed "Gentleman Jack" for the value he placed upon courtesy. "Never, never underestimate . . . the power of graciousness and simple politeness," he told students at commencement. "Be ever gentle and caring, and you cannot help but quit yourselves like men." A colleague, Paul Piazza, called him a mentor to a generation of teachers at the school whose great gift was making people feel good. "He was an extraordinary teacher who was also one of the gentlest people I know," Piazza said. "He was able to draw the best out of everybody who met him, and he called upon the best in the boys. He never talked down to them -- he was always positive, always at the highest level, and I think the boys responded to that." He was held in such regard by students that the senior class awards an annual prize to the faculty member who best emulates Mr. McCune's demeanor. He retired in 1995 after 14 years as head of the Upper School but was called back to work in the summer of 1997, when headmaster Mark Mullin was ousted. Mr. McCune served as the top school official until 1999, when he retired a second time. Born in Pittsburgh, he graduated from Princeton University and served in the Army's Counter Intelligence Corps in Baltimore and Stuttgart, Germany. After leaving the service, he became a history teacher at the Choate School in Wallingford, Conn. He received a master of arts degree in liberal studies from Wesleyan University in 1966. He arrived at St. Albans that year and by 1970 was the Folger Chair in History. A 1991 Washington Post Magazine article about the school said Mr. McCune was "known for a ferocious game of tennis, the world's neatest illegible handwriting (locally called 'McCuneiform') and a perennial youthfulness." Mr. McCune also enjoyed hiking, sketching, reading and listening to classical and jazz music. He tutored at the Garrison School after his second retirement and taught English as a second language at Briggs Memorial Baptist Church in Bethesda for the past five years. He was the author of the Washington National Cathedral's scholars program and taught art history in Zermatt, Switzerland, in 1996. He served on the governing boards of St. Albans, the National Cathedral School, St. Stephen's & St. Agnes School in Alexandria and the Norwood School in Bethesda. He also was on the College Board's advisory board for the mid-Atlantic states. Mr. McCune also was a member of the Chevy Chase Club. Survivors include his wife of 50 years, Elizabeth Reid McCune of Bethesda; two children, John F. McCune Jr. of Bethesda and Rebecca Jewett of Washington; a sister; and five grandchildren. On Wednesday May 9, 2007 JOHN FOSTER McCUNE of Bethesda, MD died at Sibley Hospital. He was the beloved husband of Elizabeth Reid McCune. He is also survived by son John Foster McCune, his wife Gretchen and their children Chloe, Margaret and John Foster McCune, III; daughter Elizabeth McCune Jewett, her husband T. Sanford Jewett and their children Reid and Georgia. Also survived by his sister Joanne Horton. Services will be held on Wednesday, May 16, 2007 at 11 a.m. at Washington National Cathedral. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The John F. McCune '52 Scholarship Fund, Princeton University c/o Nancy Kalmikoff, Gift Records, P.O. Box 5357, Princeton, NJ 08543-5357 or The Jack McCune Chair for Excellence in Teaching, Development Office, St. Albans School, Mount St. Alban, Washington, DC 20016. John F. McCune; St. Albans Administrator, Teacher and Coach. John Foster "Jack" McCune, 76, a popular history teacher and Upper School head at St. Albans School who returned from retirement to serve as the school's headmaster in the late 1990s, died of complications from leukemia May 9 at Sibley Memorial Hospital. - May 10th, 2007

Room President, National Honor Society Bob Eby gives his last comment on Jack better than I could: "Jack and I were roommates at Princeton and the best man in each other's wedding. He was a great gut, a true gentleman, and will be missed. - Bob Eby, 05/13/07 On May 16th, Tom Arganbeight (deceased) added: It certainly was sad news to hear about Jack's death. Jack and I enlisted in the army together in the summer of 1952 for 3 years. We went to infantry basic training at Indiantown Gap near Harrisburg and then spent 14 months at the Counter Intelligence school outside Baltimore. We learned how to be "counter spies" then spent 6 months in German language school and 6 weeks in investigative photography and microfilming. Jack and I made numerous weekend trips between Baltimore and Pittsburgh in my 1939 Chrysler! We then went to Germany and Jack was assigned to Stuttgart and I to Berlin. I had a good time in my 3 year army experience made all the more enjoyable by being with Jack most of the time. He really was a great guy. Tom (deceased)

Bob McEwen (Roy's nephew) wrote: My uncle, Roy McEwen passed away on September 1, 2024. He died peacefully at home in his sleep - September 2024. Seven years later, Roy wrote: This is Roy McEwen, alive and kicking although not as hard any more. I thought the site got closed out a couple of years ago. My nephew Bob McEwen found it and gave me the link. I don't get around much anymore. My right hip acts up on occasion as does my left knee. A cane is a necessity and stairs a challenge. I've had it a lot easier since my daughter Carol and son-in-law Edmundo are here. It only took them 5 years to weather the immigration forest. Church is the only activity I don't want to give up. Gabriela (granddaughter) heads to Montreal in January to begin work on her PhD. Daniel is changing course, he now wants to be a chef. He is a pretty good cook. My oldest, Anna has settled down near Strasburg, France. She and Vincent have completely refurbished their home. She's a medical technologist and Vincent is both a home rebuilder and a guard in the local court. I'd like to hear from you any of the remaining classmates! - December 2023. PS: I was happy to move Roy from the "Lost" list to the "Active" list. Roy writes from Lexington, SC: Since I lost Carole 3 years ago, I have relocated to Lexington. This the best school district in the area. My daughter and family are planning to come live with me. Edmondo, Gabriela a senior in high school and Daniel is in the 9th grade. They live in French Guyana. Edmundo has applied for a visa and green card so he can come here legally. I keep active in church, the Masonic lodge, and I'm building a garden railroad in the back yard. The Good Lord willing I will be at the 70th reunion, whenever it may be. – January 2017 Hello all. I had to miss the last reunion because of my wife's illness. She had been diagnosed with lung cancer in February and was undergoing chemo through the summer and by September the cancer had spread . She died October 20 just one week before our 18th anniversary. I didn't make a very good nurse but Hospice was fantastic. Since we both had our properties in living trusts, probate was not necessary and everything was settled by New Years. I decided to sell our home as it was too big for me to rattle around in. I bought a new place and by December of '14 I had moved into 560 Blue Ledge Cir., Lexington, SC 29072. My daughter and family are planning to come live with me so the grands can graduate from a stateside high school. I am eagerly awaiting their arrival. The paper work has been progress for over a year and a half and still far from being completed. Edmundo is a French citizen so there shouldn't be any hang up. Just the normal delays. Some of you may have heard about the flood in SC. Columbia in particular. I was not affected directly. One watershed was very hard hit. It was where I used to live although my house was on higher ground. This was land that had been developed right after WWII. It was between Columbia and Fort Jackson. There were four man made dams one after the other with very beautiful lakes with beautiful homes on the shore lines and environs. We had around 18" of rain in less than 24 hours. The dams were overstressed and one by one broke. Down stream there is a natural bottleneck and the water got over 20' deep. I went through the area a couple of weeks later and noticed that two buildings were gone. There were several cars sitting in very unusual places deposited there by the rushing waters. Damage estimates are well into 7 digits. I know two families that lost everything. The good Lord willing and if the creek doesn''t rise I'll be in Pgh in 2018. Roy, November 2015 My reunion status is now questionable. Carole has lung cancer and is undergoing chemo. It scheduled for completion by Aug 1 but there's no telling now as to how she will feel then and whether we can make the trip. I'm finding that the older I get the more I have to remember and the less I do remember. Where is a good place to stay now? ROY - May 2013 November 2011 - Glad to hear from you. I’m just getting a little older not wiser but maybe a little slower. I had forgotten how to access our MtL web site. I’m waiting patiently for our next reunion. Roy April 2011- Hi Bob. How do you report news when not much is happening? My eye problems have been repaired and I can see well again. Detached retina and cataract ops are history. Depth perception is lagging and not 100% but close. I'm planning to go to Boone NC next June as I have done for the last four years. We work with homeworks org to repair homes of the elderly and needy. Teens from our local churches do the work but the adults do the planning and supervise. We stay at an old monastery at Valle Crusis and use it as our base. There were 44 people in our group last year. And we worked on 9 homes. See you in 13. Roy McEwen February 2007 - Several updates: Bob Alderdice (deceased): I ran into him at Western Electric Cafeteria in New York City in early 1965. He was a lawyer and had been a partner in a Cleveland firm but had to give it up because of too much stress. He had taken a job with ATT in the legal dept. He was handling easements and rights of way in the city. We met several times over the next few months. When I hadn't heard from him for several weeks, I called his office and got the news that he had died. Whoever I talked to didn't know anything about him or wouldn't give me any more info. John Millington (deceased): He was best man at my wedding in June 1954 at Arlington VA. He joined the army shortly after graduation and was a radio operator. He spent a lot of time at Ft Knox and then in the Pacific. Returning he went to Pitt and got a degree in Transportation. He lived in Fairfax, VA. for several years. We exchanged Christmas cards and one year mine was returned as "unknown" I believe his brother Andy still lives in Mt L on Ashland Ave.-or used to. I'm looking forward to 2008. ROY June 2006 -
Just a note to let you know I'm still kicking.
Last Mar I spent a week working for HomeWorks in Covington La
HomeWorks is a charitable org that repairs homes of the elderly with limited
resources. Katrina had done a job on this town too. In early
June we went to Boone NC area also. We had a lot of teenagers doing
the work but they needed instruction and supervision. We had a lot of
fun. December 2005 - A Merry Christmas to you and yours. There isn't much of anything new with me. Getting ready for Christmas and trying to keep warm. We've been to Myrtle Beach several times in the last two weeks getting our Condo ready for the next years rentals. Some of my cousins are thinking of meeting in Pgh next summer. We've been actively building a family tree. We've gotten back to 1730. So far we have over 900 names in ten generations. The eleventh generations will soon be here. Not my family though. My grandchildren are 16, 6 and 3 and they live in French Guiana South America. I haven't visited them for four years so maybe next spring. It's over 3000 mi and takes two days. It can be quite an ordeal. Air France folks won't admit to knowing any English and its not easy to communicate. ROY Just to clarify one point! The French pretend they don't know English just to show up the Americans. They know exactly what you are saying. As you know the French are the superior to every one else. ROY. December 2004: Columbia SC It felt cold too. ROY (In response to my global e-mail asking, "Is anyone was out there?") February 2003: I have gotten interested in Genealogy of the McEwen clan and have located several others doing the same. Together they have over 10,000 records. Do I have fun going thru that! I have over 500 in my direct line to the first McEwen to come to these shores in 1745. But I ramble. Roy We've been traveling a lot lately. Got back from Europe the 29th of June and went to Nashville on the 3rd of July, 2001. We attended the International Supreme Assembly of the Order of the Amaranth. This is a Masonic organization which is social fraternal and charitable for Masons and their female relatives. We had a lot of fun meeting old friends and talking over old times. I retired from AT&T, now Lucent Technologies, in 1986 after 31 years. I spent most if my time in accounting and was a Certified Internal Auditor. My first wife died 5 years ago after 39 years. We were living in Tallahassee at the time. I have since remarried and am now living in Columbia, SC, with Carole, my wife for 2.5 years.
lloyd we haven't heard from you for 15 years! Our cutoff date for those "Lost / Gone" is 15 years, otherwise we would show 80%+ classmates still alive and that is not statistically possible. We would love to hear from you and would be very happy to move you back to the "Active" list. Bill <>< - January 2018 June 2003: Talked with Lloyd on the phone. He was getting ready for a brigantine trip scheduled to start in Fiji. Hopes to get back in time for the reunion. He took Economics and Journalism at University of Maine. Served 4 years in the Navy then went to work for Alcoa. After 10 years he started his own metal foil company which he sold when he was 58 and has been traveling the world ever since. Bill

Last heard from Clare with this 1999 note below - Reluctantly assume she is deceased after 18 years without news September 1999: After reading the letter from Pat Ward (deceased) I decided to send a short one myself. I have often wondered what happened to some of my child hood friends. Pat and I went to St. Bernard's grade school together and only lived a block apart. So it was great to hear what she had been doing for the last fifty years. I graduated from Carnegie Tech with a degree in Industrial Design and was married shortly after I started to work in Pittsburgh. My husband is a metallurgist and a Tech grad also. We moved from Pittsburgh to Detroit and ended up for the last thirty years in Fredonia, NY. We have raised six great kids. Three boys and three girls. I always liked school and it seems our kids did also. In total they have eight bachelors degrees, nine masters, and two doctors degrees. Since they live in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan we spend a lot of time visiting our children and grandchildren. After the kids were all in school I taught GED, English as a second language, and basic literacy for almost twenty years. When my husband retired I retired also so that we could travel. It is hard to believe that I am way too close to 70, but time does fly when your having fun!! - Clare

Barbara Adams (deceased) wrote: I'm sending along to you the sad news of the death May 10th of Roseanne McIlvane Casey, apparently from liver complications associated with Hepatitis C. Roseanne and I go way back to Junior High days when she moved to Colony Circle, two houses away from me. Her death brings back many memories of good times together including her being a brides maid in our wedding 53 years ago. When I last saw Roseanne 2 years ago at a small gathering of "old" '48 friends, she seemed fine -- just as witty and enthusiastic as ever. That's how I'll always remember her. From Bill Erdman, WebMaster: A very pleasant e-mail from Barbara Adams (deceased) brought sad news about Rosanne. As Barbara prophetically noted in 2002, "...my procrastination (about writing about myself) came from feeling that I have little of substance to report..." I know we all have accomplished much in our lifetimes and procrastinate. But I also regret that little of substance has been reported about Rosanne except Barbara's friendship over the years. Again, it is so sad that we know so little about each other and then when I move an individual's "history" to the "Gone" page, nothing more is ever added. We are sad but life goes on and we will soon forget her along with the 139 other classmates that have preceded her (78 known deceased, 62 lost & presumed dead) . Rosanna's "dash" is over (1930 - 2005 which reads "1930 DASH 2005") and all of her classmates reading this will join her in a few years. "Few" doesn't seem like a lot, does it? Enjoy today and tell everyone dear to you that you truly love them. Don't wait. Bill, May 2005

We would love to hear from you and would be very happy to move you back to the "Active" list. Bill <>< - January 2018 May, 2003: I received the invitation to the Reunion in today's mail and began reviewing the excellent web site this evening. The web site has asked if I am Jay McRoberts. Roy was my cousin and my childhood best friend. He died about 20 years ago. Most of you do not know me for a number of reasons. I was painfully shy and had a mild speech defect during my high school days. Obviously this made it very difficult for me to socialize. In addition, I completed the three-year curriculum in two years and did not have the pleasure of a senior year. Life has been very kind to me and my bride (Edie) of 50 years. I retired from orthopedic surgery 10 years ago and became a full-time tree farmer (large, landscape quality stock). We have a 330 acre farm 20 miles northwest of Washington D.C. I don't know if I'm in the class of a 47 or of 48. I guess it's 48 and I played hooky for the last year. Jay Warren McRoberts - I would like to hear from you.

I am sorry to be the deliverer of the sad news. Peace Be With You. Bill Campbell From Bill Erdman, WebMaster: Another loss for our class. Dave was a well known guy in High School and had lots of friends - I consider myself fortunate that I was one of those although I lost track of him after graduation. We saw him at the 5oth and 60th Reunions but didn't have time to get information for his page. Sadly, I learned more about Dave from his obituary than from any correspondence so there isn't much to show for his history. May 2010 From 1958 Reunion Newsletter: DAVE MILLER.
