The June RAZORBACK SCHEME is out and mailed to those outside 
Fayetteville 
facilities (including retirees).

A full convention report will be given in the July issue, as well as 
photos 
from JIM ROBERSON'S retirement party.

The BIGGEST news from the convention (pertaining to Fayetteville in 
particular) is that things are in the works to get the arbitration 
award 
(Casuals in lieu of....) settled soon.  I don't want to sound too 
optimistic, 
but it does look good.

JOHN DAVIS was elected as Maintenance Craft Director for Arkansas at 
the 
convention.  Congratulations!

Photos of state convention will be in next newsletter and on website.
