At our Bremerton retiree luncheon, second generation Local 302 operator Bill Lopeman shared a photo of his father, operator A.W. Lopeman and uncle Leon “Tuff” Lopeman who was an oiler.

A.W. is pictured here in 1952 operating a “new” Northwest 80-D while his brother Tuff looks on at the Mats Mats Quarry in Port Ludlow, Wash. Bill also shared a stamped dues book. Things have changed a bit!
