Retired Feb, 1998 @ 55. Was FST&BA for local 321 from 1972 until 1979. Appointed to International Staff as General Organizer and worked at headquarters until 1985. Took over Iron Workers District Council of Mid- Atlantic States and retired from there in '98. Walt took my place when I left and of course is now Gen. Treasurer. One of the good guys.
Nice to hear from Brother Ironworker!!! Carroll Allison Book #679610. Still belong to Local 321 and still pay full dues.

Just joined FTE and have been surfing around to see who is out there and what trucks they drive when I came across a thread asking ages and one asking occupations. After reading a few I came across yours, Calli and thought "whew" I'm not the only senior citizen registered. Congratulations on retirement at 55!

I recruit drilling crews for an inland barge drilling company.

I drive a 2002 F250 SD supercab shortbed 4x4 7.3 diesel, 2 1/2" lift with 35" tires.

I could NEVER imagine that so many Powerstroke drivers do such different things! I was thinking the majority of us here were in the outdoor or construction, paving business, etc.
