Hi Donna, A.O.U.W. is the Ancient Order of United Workmen. If you type that into google it will take you to several sites that can give you some background. Also I think K of P is Knights of Pythias (sp) the other I dont know. Hope this helps Pat Donnamomburg@aol.com wrote: Hi Everyone, In the bio of Andrew McCollum (and others) he is listed as a master workman in A.O.U.W., a K of P and a K of H. Does anyone know what these mean?
