TEAMSTER BROTHER TAKES GOLD

Congratulations to brother Alan Bown of Woodworth and Co. for taking the world title in arm wrestling. Alan walked away from the sport in 2002 with both the left-handed and right-handed arm wrestling titles. Alan returned in December to take gold at the World Arm Wrestling Federation's World Arm Wrestling Championships Master Men's left-handed 90-kilogram division in Kelowna B.C. We wish Alan the best of luck when he competes this September in Venice, Italy
