Our member James Rudolph is an 83 year old, 51 year member from Ridley Park, Pennsylvania. He was a tile, marble , terrazzo finisher from local 32 of Phila. He retired as a TMT Finisher business manager in Oct. 1992. Jims wit and memory have not dimmed but time has taken its toll on his body. Jim was a sub sailor reserves in 1948-51 with the aspirations of being a fighter pilot. He voluntarily transferred to Naval Aviation in 1951 with the hopes of entering the Naval Air Cadets. Jims hopes were dashed when he was told that married men were not eligible to be cadets. On September 28, 2013 Jims life long dream of flying a fighter came true. Jim flew the Never Miss P-51 Mustang for 40 minutes of air time. Jim to this day, attends every union meeting and union function and is one of our more vocal spokespersons for the value and history of Union labor. He reminds members at every meeting that your never too old to accomplish your dreams. — James Rudolph
