With the help of everyone who has been mentioned in this essay and those who have
contributed but were not mentioned, along with the behind-the-scenes efforts of member's wives
which too often go unrecognized, Section 8 has achieved a great deal. Its membership now stands
at over one hundred with sometimes as many as fifty members attending meetings. The Section
continues to hold its monthly meetings on the first Tuesday of each month at Hoffman's Morton
House in Morton Grove. Installation of Officers is on the second Sunday of January at which time
all members and guests are treated to Sunday Brunch.
Section 8 can be very proud of the accomplishments of its members, especially over the past
ten years. These men did not allow the Section to become dormant with age, but instead,
re-seeded and grew stronger.
As Section 8 peers happily into the future, let us end this essay with a collage of memories
from the collective minds of its members.
CHARLES SCHWIND—held the office of President the most years, fifteen. He agreed,
under pressure, to give up office for one year, but was then re-elected the next year
by acclamation.
PHILLIP KNEPPER, SR. —Financial Secretary for thirty-one years.
FELIX SCHAUL—active member for sixty-four years and Grand Marshal of the L.B.A.
for thirty-four years.
DR. LUESSMAN—always at meetings with a stethoscope to examine new members
for insurance. His fee: $1.00. Sick benefits which ended in 1964, were $5.00 a week.
