Lund and McIsaac
Awarded Emblems
BOSTON --
Fifty years ago, Louis S. Lund became a member of Lodge 688, while working for the Boston & Maine, and served as president and local chairman of that lodge. He later became a yard brakeman on the Boston & Albany and transferred to Lodge 486; then when Lodge 901 was organized in 1922, he transferred to that lodge.
At a recent Lodge 901 meeting, Michael J. Beirne, president of the lodge and secretary of Grand Lodge Executive Board, had the pleasure of presenting Lund with his 50-year emblem, and extending to him congratulations for his loyalty and devotion to the organization. Lund expressed his appreciation and told of his years of railroading, noting the changes during that time.
John R. McIsaac, legislative representative of Lodge 901 and state representative of Massachusetts Legislative Board, was presented with a 35-year pin by President Beirne. Like Lund, McIsaac had been a member of Lodge 486 and transferred to Lodge 901 when it was organized. His loyalty and devotion to the cause of labor is evidenced by the position he now holds. He spoke of his appreciation for the many benefits he has received and said it was only through the cooperative strength of the BRT that so many better and safer working conditions were enjoyed by railroaders today.
