In a continuing effort to assist the local community, Local 391 donated a Global Positioning System (GPS) to the 103rd Composite Squadron of the Connecticut Civil Air Patrol in Windsor Locks. Civil Air Patrol officers will use the GPS to aid in their search and rescue missions. Local
391 President Jon Pepe, Secretary Paul von Eisengrein and
Treasurer Todd Sokolowski presented the GPS on the evening
of March 4, 2005. Accepting
the donation on behalf of the Civil Air Patrol were Major
Michael Dudek and Commander John Kinsky, along with 20 CAP
cadets who cheered the Local's generosity. Major
Dudek is a retired Correction Officer and Local 391 member
who worked at Osborn Correctional Institution. "The Civil Air Patrol has a long and rich history of serving the citizens of our state and our nation," commented President Pepe. "From search and rescue missions to disaster relief and homeland security operations, Civil Air Patrol members like Brother Dudek are there to help keep us safe and sound. Donating the GPS is one way to say thanks." Article by Larry Dorman, Council 4 Read Thank You Letter To Local 391 From Civil Air Patrol
