The Obituary of "Someone Else"

The Union was saddened to learn this week of the death of one of its most valuable members--Someone Else. Someone's passing created a void that will be difficult to fill. Someone Else had been with us for many years and for every one of those years did more than a normal person's share of the work. Whenever leadership was mentioned, this wonderful person was looked to for inspiration as well as results. Whenever there was something to do or a meeting to attend, one name was on everyone's list--"Let Someone Else do it." It was common knowledge that Someone Else would make the difference. Someone Else sometimes appeared to be super-human; but a person can only do so much. Were the truth known, everybody expected too much of Someone Else. Now, Someone Else is gone. We wonder what we are going to do. Someone Else did leave a wonderful example to follow, but who is going to follow? Who is going to do all the things that Someone Else did? If you have a chance to participate in your union--to join a committee or to lend a hand, please remember: we can't depend on Someone Else anymore. ---Unkown
