Brother Tyler Anderson lost his mother in a on-the-job accident.  Our prayers and thoughts go out to Tyler and his family and friends during these trying times.  Due to the loss of his mother, Tyler has had to travel out of state and will not receive any pay for the next three weeks because he is an apprentice in outside line construction.  Anyone wishing to help Tyler out should call the Union hall and they will direct you on how to get in touch with Tyler.
