bercaws

rediscovered from an old assignment --
Suzy Bercaw smokes a cigarette while standing by her husband Greg as they watch members from Lima Local 357 Council of Carpenters build a wheelchair ramp leading into their house in Lima. Greg, a carpenter and member of the union for more than eight years, suffered a pulmonary embolism earlier this year and has been in a wheelchair for about a month. The couple has four young children. When the union found out about the family's situation, they offered to build a ramp at their house and to give him an electric wheelchair. "This is awesome," Greg said. "It's the brotherhood."
