God Bless Peter J McGuire! Happy Labour Day to all!

The reason we have a holiday. Half the founder of AFL- and the top guy who started the United Brotherhood & ( sisterhood) of Carpenters and Joiners of America. He was as big as S. Gompers and all the rest of them. A real life working class hero!

Also today I had the NYT opened and noticed Louis Rosen 91 who worked on the nuclear bomb had passed on. Well last summer I met Lloyd Liljequist in the UP of Michigan who had worked on the Manhattan Project. I guess my mom and her friends would go to dances with some of the Tech students back then. She brought us up to meet him last yr around the time of the strawberry fest. He was kind enough to stop by a service we held this yr just after the 4th of July for our mother. He brought some old pics of the gang and somehow these phots were misplaced. Anyway he is living proof that not all lose their mental abilities as he is quite the character. He lives in the hi-rise with a view of portage canal and every single nurse/nurses aids, patients and the entire staff seem to be on good joking terms with him. We were very pleased to meet him and listened to a few of his stories about WWII.
