What’s Going OnAccomplishment . . . Congratulations to Jack Lashover (Ba-ton Rouge, LA), who believes people never stop learning new things. His pub-lished engineering and scientific articles on www.academic.edu are rated in the top four percent. One of his papers “A Chemical Engineer Goes to the Horse Races” is in the top three percent. “I’m learning how to write code for Android and Apple applications (apps) and plan to write a handicapping app for sale,” he adds.

At 96 years old, Howard Dicus, Sr. (Gambrills, MD) still has lots to say. The prolific author has writ-ten and had printed 15 books. “I didn’t start writing until I was 76,” explains the former Aluminum Extrusion worker at Halethrope, MD. “I never knew I had it in me.” Recent books include two nov-elettes and a book of short stories.

Birthdays and Anniversaries . . .Marion Cravens (Rancho Murieta, CA), who worked for Kaiser as the Legal Administrator for Bob Turner and John Moore when she retired in 1980, just celebrated her 65th wedding anniversary to her husband Don. Tom Lowe (Liver-more, CA) and his wife Kathy celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary in July. They both volunteer at Kaiser Perman-ente and as trail safety patrollers for the East Bay Regional Park District.

Happy Birthday to Hazel Parsons (Rip-ley, WV). The former Ravenswood em-

ployee celebrated her 80th birthday with her family in New York City. Best wishes to Robert G. An-drews (Newark, OH) who re-cently turned 90. Robert Gambill (Troy, MT) really knows how to celebrate a birth-day. The party for his 92nd birthday started at his home on Bull Lake near Troy, MT., in May and continued throughout the summer and into the fall as family and friends came to visit. Robert spent his Kaiser career working for Valco in Ghana, West Africa.

A very special Happy Birthday to Esther Brown (Savannah, GA) who turned 100 in June. She is the surviving spouse of Edward J. Brown, Jr., who worked at Kaiser Agricultural Chemicals in Savan-nah. “With the Lord’s many blessings and the luck of the Irish (her maiden name was Ryan), my mom had a fun-filled par-ty at Johnny Harris Restaurant in Savan-nah,” reports her son Ed Brown.

A Little of This, A Little of That . . .Lucille F. Jones (Baton Rouge, LA) thanks her family and VEBA for al-lowing her to live alone in her own home. She

still enjoys collecting antiques and vin-tage furniture, traveling and, of course, her grandchildren! At 91 years of age, surviving spouse Melita Israel (Aptos, CA) still volunteers at the Capitola Se-nior Center where she teaches painting, sings and is in charge of table tennis. She also loves gardening and “aquarobics.”

“Thanks for remembering my mother Gretta Byrne (Haines City, FL) on her 90th birthday,” writes Frank Byrne. “My dad Francis (Frank) W. Byrne was a long time employee at VALCO in Ghana, West Africa, and I remember fondly all the Kaiser people I met during that time.” Now living in Spokane, WA, David Monnastes still finds time to get back to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he worked for many years at CFT in Pleas-anton, CA. In Washington, David enjoys fishing, hunting, reading, gardening and making model airplanes. He also volun-teers at the Eastside Community Center.

The Trentwood Kaiser Aluminum “Birth-day Bunch” has been getting together for over 40 years. “We’ve raised families while working together, stayed best of

friends and all retired at differ-ent times,” says Alice Moore (Rathdrum, ID). The group started when all worked at Trentwood and would meet for dinner after work. The group quickly grew from four to 12. According to Alice, there are 10 active ladies meeting at a res-taurant when ever one of them has a birthday. “Each birthday lady receives a total of $75 from the group. It’s been a great and wonderful ride staying and meeting together all these years,” she adds.

On the move is Robert Coyle (Orlando, FL). The former Brick Mason Supervisor at Mead, WA, Works moved from his home in Spokane, WA, to Florida this past August. Also finding a new place to live is another for-mer Mead Works employee Lawrence A. Kennedy (Spokane, WA), who recently moved back to Spokane from Seven Bays, WA, where he enjoys fishing, gar-dening and reading. Unpacking following his move to the retirement community

of Telhai occupies Wil-liam F. Miller’s (Honey Brook, PA) time. Formally at Kaiser Refractory plant at Plymouth Meeting, PA, he hopes to do some vol-unteer work and get back to his woodworking once he finally gets all his boxes unpacked.

Diane Malinak (Spokane Valley, WA) thanks the KASRA Board and field reps for all their hard work. “Our local paper recently did a story about TJ Sum-

merson and his wife, who at 91 are the ballast of a terrific senior group of bridge players.” Also feeling grateful is F. Eu-gene Gibbs (Pleasanton, CA) who enjoys reading the KASRA Newsletter every few months. When not visiting family and friends, Ray Lightell (Kingwood, TX) likes to play golf and watch football. The former Chalmette, LA, Works emplyee is also on his condo planning group where he arranges socials and birthday parties each month. Working at the Villages golf courses for the past 10 years keeps former Baton Rouge, LA, worker Leroy Avers (The Villages, FL) busy. He also teaches at the Lifelong Learning College at The Villages, studies cosmology and serves in the music ministry at his church.

Don Williams (Deer Park, WA) keeps young racing sprint cars around the Northwest and, along with his wife Janet, volunteers with Young Life in North Spo-kane and is a guest host and tour guide for Young Life Camps in Oregon and Malibu Club in British Columbia. Every other year, the active couple takes a long road trip. “Last summer, we went to Branson, MO, Knoxville, Iowa and all spots in between,” says Don, who is a Realtor for Windermere North in Spokane, WA. Helping with the Kid’s Club at his church

fills up Allen L. Davaz’s (Marsing, ID) time as well as building picture and poster frames.

Jazz enthusiast Lew Albright (San Diego, CA) and his wife Shirley attended a jazz event in New Orleans, LA, recently which featured jazz film maker Ken Burns and a host of well known musicians. The former Oakland, CA, Human Resources employee plays himself and also loves theater, traveling and golf. Joan Novotny (Lafayette, CA) enjoys volunteering for the Lindsay Wildlife Museum Alliance in Walnut Creek, CA. “I’ve also belonged to the Lafayette Garden Club for many years. Although with the drought in Cali-fornia, our year doesn’t show it.”

Francis L. Quick (Glendale, CA), the surviving spouse of Bill Quick, is in her 24th year of reading to Kindergarten through third grade students at Glenoaks Elementary School. She also keeps busy as the scholarship chair for the Sons of Norway Lodge and welcome chair for her townhome development group. “I also read in the Children’s Room at the main Glendale Library one day a week,” she says. “But at 87, I am slowing down a little.” A former Raw Materials worker in

Alpart, Jamaica, John Hunter (Musk-ogee, OK) still does some part-time consulting.

The very busy Geraldine “Gerri” Rose (Boonville, CA) has no time for vacations. The practicing attorney and current president of the Mendocino County Women’s Bar Association as well as secretary/treasurer of the Fam-ily Bar Section of the County Bar As-sociation has a thriving practice doing estate planning. “My client base is aging, as are we all, so there’s no time

off,” she says. Gerri also keeps busy on her farm trying to catch the feral pigs that roam about. “Got one last weekend,” she cheers. “I was also really pleased to see Doug Mann, my boss in purchasing in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s as KASRA’s president – nice picture in the newsletter.”

A hard-working volunteer, Millie Lum (Alameda, CA) acts as receptionist for Alameda’s 3,500-member Mustick Senior Center while also being the group’s secre-tary on the Board of Directors. When not at the senior center, she can be found as a waitress and dishwasher at the Trinity Senior’s weekly luncheon. Fixing lawn mowers and chairs fills Alan Morasch’s (Spokane Valley, WA) days along with fishing and hunting, of course. At 90 years old, he also finds time to go camp-ing with his grandchildren. Tim Parker (Concord, CA) recently purchased a sec-ond house to be closer to his grandsons in the San Francisco Bay Area. He now splits his time between his home in La-guna Hills, CA and his second home in Concord. Tim volunteers on the Board of Directors for KASRA as well as on the board of the Los Angeles Philanthropic Foundation.

Traveling Near and Far . . .Traveling around the country keeps Rob-ert McKechnie (Highland, IN) in good spirits. This year, the former Dolton, IL, Extrusion worker has taken several trips to Toleto, OH, Las Vegas, NV, and San Diego, CA. When at home, he attends the United Methodist Church and is a mem-ber of the Masonic Lodge. Richard E. Nowell (Spokane Valley, WA) visited the unique destination of Ucluelet, BC, on Vancover Island as well as Redmond, OR, Lake Chelan, WA, Columbia Falls, MT and Hope, ID. When at home, the former

Ravenswood worker likes to garden and go golfing.

Denny Seymour (Escon-dido, CA) has one big fish story to tell and the photos to prove it! The former LA Extrusions employee and his son Mile caught a 215 lb. Yellow Fin Tuna at Magdalena Bay, 800 miles south of San Diego on the Pacific Side of Baja, CA. “Mike is a licensed captain and I was the cook and deck hand,” says Denny. “During our week-long trip we caught 80 Blue and Yellow Fin Tuna, over 100 Wahoo, 22 Marlin, which we released, and countless Yellow Tails. It was the trip of a life time!”

Eighty-four-year-old Robert Newsom (Baton Rouge, LA) took an Alaskan cruise in August and plans to visit his son and his family in Danville, CA. The re-tired worker from Gramery, LA, now has three great grandchildren. Traveling by R.V. makes Forrest Benge (Livingston, LA) happy, especially since he has trav-eled most of the United States. Robert Elder (Spokane Valley, WA) recently enjoyed a family reunion at Eagle Point, OR.

Mike Sawatzky (Spokane, WA) and his wife spent nine days seeing the sights of London, England. The former Mead Works employee currently works as the Safety, Health and Environment Manager for ALK Source Materials in Post Falls, ID. He hopes to retire at the end of 2015 and spend more time with his nine grand-

Denny Seymour (on right) and his son Mike caught a 215 lb. Yellow Fin Tuna recently.

Member Profile: Charlie AlongiBeginning his Kaiser career in June of 1956 following his graduation from the University of Alabama, Charlie Alongi went on to become Corporate Controller before retiring at the end of January, 1996. He and his second wife Marilyn live in Davis, CA.

What made you decide to apply to Kaiser?As a student at the University of Alabama in the Commerce and Business Administration school, we were guided towards a career in public accounting as a good entry position. But, during the interviewing process, I signed up for an interview with Sam Angelois from Kaiser’s Baton Rouge Alumina Plant. The program he outlined seemed a better fit for me.

Tell us about your career at Kaiser.I started as an accounting trainee at the Baton Rouge Alumina plant. I was supposed to go on to the Gramercy Alumina plant, but two months into my training, the Oakland, CA, headquarters began a corporate accounting training program and I was included. I was sent for three to four months to Baton Rouge, Chalmette Reduction Plant, Newark Electrical Products Plant and Halethorpe

Extrusion Plant.

Following the training, I went to Ravenswood where I spent three years in General Accounting and three years as Reduction Plant Controller. Then, in 1963, I was transferred to Oakland, CA, working for Fred Latham in the Division Controllers Functions for Raw Materials, Reduction and Carbon. I was very fortunate to be made Manager of International Investments in 1973 and then Administrative Manager Raw Material, Reduction and Carbon Division. In 1982, I was elected Assistant Corporate Controller and then Corporate Controller in 1989.

Did all the moving around present challenges?During the first 15 months, we moved a lot. My poor wife had to pack and unpack five times. Our son John was born in Baton Rouge so all that moving with a new born was somewhat stressful.

What was the biggest difference between working in the various plants and working in Oakland, CA, at corporate?I learned so much about the chemical and manufacturing process during my six or seven years at the plants. Understanding the process that produced the various products in the aluminum business made accounting easier and communicating the results to management more realistic.

But it did take some getting used to dealing with plants in several states and in world wide locations such as Jamaica, Australia, Europe, West Africa and Canada. Communicating with all those different cultures was not only interesting, but also very challenging.

Another challenge when I moved to corporate was adjusting to reporting results to a senior division and corporate management in a usable and understanding manner.

Tell us about your experiences with the Steelworkers Union.During the last 10 years or so I had the opportunities and challenges of working closely with our labor relations people during the contract negotiations with the Steelworkers Union. It was rather exciting meeting the key members of the negotiating team and being able to provide key financial information. Another skill that proved to be helpful was being able to play poker. In order to play with this group, I had to learn some creative poker games and, fortunately, I had some beginners luck but also some

nights that weren’t so good. Needless to say, my education at the University of Alabama wasn’t all that helpful!

What are some of your fondest memories while at Kaiser?Meeting and working with a fantastic group of people in the Kaiser plants, Oakland headquarters and affiliated companies provided me with some great memories. I was fortunate to work with people at all levels -- from hourly and clerical employees at the plants to senior management in Oakland. During my early years in Oakland, the organization began to actively move some of the women into exempt positions as supervisors. It was personally very rewarding for me to be part of that movement.

Another fond memory involved visiting the reduction plant in Ghana, West Africa. I was amazed at how well the Ghanian supervisors and hourly people functioned so efficiently. I found the same thing at our mining and alumina operations in Jamaica.

A special memory that caused me a bit of stress was when I was asked to accompany our Chairman and Reduction Division

Be Sure Your FamilY receiveS BeneFitS

Several instances in the recent past have brought to light that some surviving spouses and family members have NOT been familiar with the Kaiser salaried retiree VEBA Plan. Thus, it’s highly possible any potential benefits due under the VEBA Plan could have been forfeit.

To ensure that does not happen to your family unit, please follow the guide-lines encouraged by the Kaiser VEBA Plan Board of Trustees. Take the time to discuss, in detail, the VEBA Plan with your potential surviving spouse and also other responsible family unit representatives. For help contact: VEBA Administrator Delta Health Fund Administrators LLC P.O. Box 2308 Stockton, CA 95201-2308 Toll Free Phone: (888) 344-8322 e-mail: veba@deltafund.com

Manager to a meeting with Gene Trefethen, who was calling the chairman of a German partner to discuss some thorny issues. Fortunately, everything went well, and I didn’t have to open my mouth.

Tell us about your family.I married my first wife, Dean, in 1952 and she gave birth to our son John in 1956 while I worked at the Baton Rouge Alumina Plant. John went on to graduate from the University of California in Davis before passing the bar and working as a lawyer. After a few years, he decided he wanted to teach. So he left the law and is now Assistant Principal at the Vacaville Unified School District where he has been employed for over 20 years. He’s married to Anne Larsen and they have a daughter, Claire.

Dean passed away in 2002, and four years later, I married a beautiful lady

named Marilyn Murphy. Her wonderful family includes three sons and two daughters. She now has 14 grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

What are you up to these days?I’ve been in the stock market for over 20 years and, given the crazy economy, it takes a bit of my time to keep everything afloat. So far, I’m ahead of the game. Marilyn and I travel from time to time but not too far. Then, of course, we have all those grandchildren and great grandchildren to keep us busy!

children.

William Snider (Newark, OH) and his daughters Deb Tung and Becky Benson toured Scotland, Wales and England re-cently. “We visited working castles and ruins of larger castles. The history is un-believable,” says William. “Some of the roads, bridges and walls were built by the Romans and are still in use after 2,000 years!” When not traveling, the former Newark Works employee enjoys wood-working and volunteering to help shut-ins and doing displays for “The Works” Mu-seum of Science, Art and Technology. He is also the treasurer at the Stoneridge Con-dos and the president of Kaiser Newark Salaried Retirees.

Journeying to Maui was Bob Irelan. He also traveled to Carson Valley, CA, and Las Vegas, NV, and plans to be in Mary-land this September to join his 60th high school class reunion. Formerly at Kaiser Houston in Public Relations, Bob enjoys golf, reading, theater, writing and politics.

Best Wishes . . .All the best to Anthony Gerace (Madi-sonville, LA) and his wife, who have both been dealing with illness and to Betty Lou Koska (Winnemucca, NV), who has had to limit her hobbies due to several falls.

Condolences to Linda Duhe, who recent-ly lost her husband Gary and to the fami-lies of the following surviving spouses who passed away: Loeta Abblett (spouse of Walter Abblett); Helen Brower (spouse of George Brower); Emelda Dil-berto (spouse of Daniel Dilberto); Fran-ces Freeman (spouse of Roy Freeman); Kay Hines (spouse of William Hines); and Helen Kerless (spouse of Fred Ker-less).
