Our own Tom Quackenbush, local 294s recording secretary was fortunate enough to take a trip last summer to visit relatives whom he has never met before. It all started with a letter writing campaign. Tom was also lucky to have a cousin that worked at the Vatican and was able to have an audience with Pope Benedict. On the left are some of Tom's family who graciously hosted his stay. Thats Tom in the back center of the crowd (waving). Tom (second from the right) about to kiss the Pope's ring. Tom's cousin Angelo Caliciotti about to kiss the Pope's ring.

This is a photo that was taken a few days ago, if you like to use, of our little reunion. We worked at Associated Transport, starting in the late 1950's till it's closing in 1976; (L to R) Abe Seeberger a mechanic, we just seen after all those years, Art Siebert a driver, later in the office, Herb Halterman on the dock and next Dom Paratore a driver. We got together after Abe found one of us on the computer. Abe had saved the logo from Associated Transport and it was nice having the photo taken with it. Enjoyed our day and we will plan others
