I went to the AFL/CIO site (putzed around til I found it), which led me to the addresses for the Carpenters and Joiners District Councils for D.C.

Sorry, I didn't save the site address. ----- Original Message ----- From: "M Corridon" <kerrylyo@ticon.net> To: <WashingtonDC-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, November 10, 2002 1:18 PM Subject: Re: [WashingtonDC'' ] stonemasons > My Grand-Uncle helped with the Washington Monument and he was listed as a > Stone mason.
