Brother Kevin Droivold, a member of BLET Division 283 (Oakland, Calif.), recently ran an Operation Lifesaver train for the Union Pacific Railroad in Mateca, Calif.
According to the Manteca Bulletin newspaper, the Operation Lifesaver presentation was necessary because: “Students from Manteca High School were seen walking on their way home from school in a group shortly after their 2:30 p.m. dismissal. They walked in front of a northbound train at the South Main Street crossing, paying no attention to the red warning lights and the activated crossing gates.”
Brother Droivold joined the Brotherhood on February 1, 1990. He is pictured in the January 15 edition of the Manteca Bulletin, which is available on their website.
