Wayne H. Anderson told us: " I started working at Silver Bell 1961. Worked for ASARCO 9 1/2 years. I was active with the lcal union, filling various positions and achieving the local union President position. I took leave to work for the Cementation Company sinking 2 new shafts at Morencie. Worked there for 6 months and organized the union there too. ASARCO refused to extend my leave, and I decided not to return. I was offered a staff position with the Union. Our Union was District 50 of the United Mine Workers of America which merged into the United Steelworkers of America in the early 70's. I met the love of my life (Laurys Fenley) shortly after starting work at Silver Bell. She was Bill Holders sister in Law. We celebrated our 58th anniversary last month. We had 4 children; Shari, Tim, Dana and Steve. We lived in the Silver Bell trailer park for about 5.5 years. We could"t see our little girl spending as many hours a day on the bus and in school as I was working at the mine, so we moved into Tucson when when Shari was old enough to start school. I worked in nearly all departments at the mine. I started in the Lab, then maintenance, flotation, molly an finally driving mine trucks. Lots of memories. Best wishes on a very successful reunion."  [ASARCO Hire date: 1/12/1960]
