Hi Linda
Would you post the attached photo and see if I can get some of them identified. This is a picture of employees of Findlay Foundry that celebrated 35 years working there. The only ones I can identify are: 4th standing from the left is Moff Blaine; my father – Hilton Dorman is standing 7th from the left and the 11th from the left standing is Tom Labron. That’s all I know in the picture. These 3 individuals celebrated 35 years at the foundry and the guy sitting in the middle is holding the silver tray that was presented to each of these men. I don’t know if all of them worked there for 35 years or not. Linda Stewart, Tom Labron’s daughter gave me a copy of this picture. Any help to identify the men would be appreciated.

Back row, right end is my uncle, Cecil Devlin. He was worked in the steam plant. As a kid, I got a big kick out of the fact he was often the person who blew the factory steam whistle.
