Local 15 Alabama Members Receive Gold Cards |

 |
| Old friends Tom Maguire and Kenny McConkey, both members of Local 4 NJ, began meeting in Newark for a few beers after work in 1946 when they were apprentices. Maguire helped McConkey brick veneer his house for “beer and baloney sandwiches, on white bread with no catsup,” says Maguire. Fifty-five years later, McConkey and Maguire still get together for beer and baloney sandwiches, six days a week, at the Hobe Sound, Florida VFW Post. |
