CLEVELAND, March 26 — BLE International President Don M. Hahs and the officers and staff of the International Division honored staff member Linda Thomson, who is retiring today after 30 years of service to the Brotherhood.

During her 30 years with the BLE, she has worked in various capacities including Director of Personnel and her current position in the Tax Compliance Department.
