"So you hold a card and you draw good pay and hospitalization and insurance . . . that's all important. But there's something else that's important about being a bricklayer, the challenge of the job. I love to see it done right." Morris Moore has been a bricklayer since the 1930's and he has never tired of his trade.

"I feel better when I'm working. I'm going to keep on working as long as I can. Bricklaying has been good to me." Guy Kuhn will be 83 on July 17. Except for a short stay in the hospital in 1966, he hasn't missed a working day since he took out his card in Bricklayers Local #1 in Washington, D.C., in 1911.

And Morris Moore, Jr., the younger man, says it articulately. "Bricklaying has always been important--as far back as Biblical times .... Each day is a challenge and the awareness of this challenge makes it exciting. Who knows, the building you might be working on might get an award .... You don't get the public glory, but you know your craftsmanship made that award possible. It's good to tell your children."
