Railroaders place to shoot the shit.

Sorrow announces retirement

CLEVELAND, June 2 BLET National President Paul T. Sorrow submitted a letter to National Secretary-Treasurer William C. Walpert today, advising that he is resigning the Presidency effective July 1, 2010, in order to retire. President Sorrows letter also stated the following:

President Sorrow, who will be 64 in August, began his professional railroad career with the Seaboard Air Line Railroad in 1965. He has maintained continuous membership in Division 498 (Abbeville, S.C.) since joining the Brotherhood on March 1, 1972. He has served the Brotherhood as Local Chairman, Vice General Chairman and General Chairman (Seaboard Coast Line and CSX General Committees of Adjustment), Vice President, First Vice President and National President.

Of the 45 years Paul Sorrow spent working in the railroad industry, 38 have been in dedicated service to the Brotherhood, First Vice President Dennis Pierce said. He has always put the Brotherhood first throughout his life and he has earned the right to enjoy time with his family and loved ones. The Brotherhood is a better place today because of Paul Sorrow and I ask all BLET members to join me in thanking him for his contributions to our Brotherhood.
