Hoping everyone is well and has a happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Whether or not you are on team green, it’s a great time to celebrate with friends and family. Just remember to do it safely and responsibly. The same attitude and mentality should be constantly exercised at work. Jeff Phelps, Local 7; Derrick Bowling and Marcus Lyons, Local 10; and Matt DuVall, Local 59 Nick Myers, Tim McCoy and Matt Duvall of Local 59 and Jeff Phelps of Local 7 LOCAL 62 • Syracuse, New York Brothers and Sisters, Work has picked up a little bit in Central New York with all but one mechanic working at this time. We currently have five probationaries on the books. To be truthful, we have not seen that number of probationaries in a long time. Hopefully this trend continues and we can rebuild our ranks to what they were 15 and 20 years ago. NFL playoffs are kicking off (no pun intended, Dallas) this weekend and the Bills Mafia are out in full force here in Syracuse. Me, I’m a NY GIANTS fan from way back to Sims, Morris, Bravaro and LT so I still have a dog in the fight. Go G MEN!!! School will start soon for our apprentices and from what I’ve heard all passed last semester. We are looking to bring back the Local 62 golf tournament this year. As we move closer to better weather I’ll be putting out more information on the time, place and costs per team. It’s been a while since our last tournament and as I remember it was always a great time. I just read that Brother Greg Levenson from Local 71, Miami passed away. My condolences go out to his family and the brothers and sisters of Local 71. Life is short, Brothers and Sisters; enjoy every minute of it while you can. My father-in-law just passed away two days ago from CANCER. Took him quick and it wasn’t pretty. Makes you really think about what your real priorities are. One minute you’re planning for retirement and kicking back for a life of leisure and the next you’re hooked to a machine fighting for every second you have left. We have all seen some LOCAL 62 Anyone interested in riding some ATVs or dirt bikes this summer? Let’s get together and plan some days in the dirt. Contact Matt DuVall for more info! Who wants some of the latest and greatest Local 59 swag? Contact BA Ron Martin for all your needs. All proceeds go towards off-setting our 100th Anniversary Banquet. Don’t forget about the retirees’ breakfast. See Ron for more details. Until next time, always look out for your brothers and sisters. Our families depend on us! Start with safety, finish with pride, Matt DuVall
