My Dad is a member of the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers, as was his father. A few years back, he received his gold card. This means he's been in the union for 50 years and is now considered a Lifetime Member. He also had the card that his father received when he reached that milestone. A little while back he handed both cards to my sister and asked her to hold onto them...he was afraid they would be misplaced. So she had a great idea. She took them to Michaels Craft Store and had them framed together and we gave it to him as a birthday gift last night. It turned out great!
I find it interesting that my grandfather's from 1968 looks better than my Dad's from 2002.
