Thanks to everyone who replied to my request. As for the RR Retirement Board, I would need his date of death in order to order his information. As for the SSDI, I checked their records and as of this date he is not listed. The only information I have is his approx. date of birth, that he was employed by N & W and that he was some big wheel in the union. Again thanks for the replies. Pat C. Johns in Va.
