At the age of 18 I joined Teamsters 959 in 1976, in Fairbanks. I was lucky enough to work for RCA, Alascom and AT&T for 40 years as a member of Teamsters 959.
I’ve enjoyed my retirement for 10 years now, fishing, traveling, and spending time with my 12 grand kids. My real boss of 35 years (my wife) has me working harder now than before I was retired 😉.
I made a good decision to join the Teamsters 959 in 1976; it was well worth the 40 years that I spent as a union member in Alaska.
