SAWDUST GANG
We started the Sawdust Gang in 1988 when I was President of the Charleston Telephone Pioneers Life Member Club. Until we stopped in 2005 when age caught up with us we had built two houses and added two rooms on homes in Alderson and Mullens, WV for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and we built handicap ramps all over the Kanawha Valley. We started with a crew of approximately 20 men, who were both retired craft and management and worked well as a team. The CWA Handicap Ramp built in August 2007 at the local was our last job. It was badly needed. Those who worked on the CWA Handicap Ramp included Dick Webb, Roy Phalen, Ted Bledsoe, Bill Crosier, P.J. Midkiff and myself, Elwood Brown. As Chairman of this special group, I give tremendous thanks to all of them---they are special in my heart forever and friends for life. ---Elwood Brown
