Art was looking forward to the upcoming negotiations to try and continue to improve the working and economic conditions for his membership. Art was willing to go anywhere he was needed to support any cause that concerned improving the lives of working men and women. Likewise, he was ready at a moment's notice to take action and oppose any cause that would be a detriment to their livelihood. Art was an avid outdoorsman from the Taos area of Northern NM and especially loved horseracing.
Rest in peace.
