Topping Out Piece 2016 Wilshire Grand Building

Ironworkers Local 433 topping out the Wilshire Grand Building in downtown Los Angeles. Attached to this Spire is a Christmas Tree and an American Flag. These are symbols of congratulations to all who took part in the erection of this project and to future jobs, may they be done with safety and prosperity in mind.
I love the days when I am part of these celebrations. It’s truly a great feeling of accomplishment and camaraderie that tends to stay with me for a long period after. Sometimes the memories afterwards stays with me for years.
Congratulations to all my Brother and Sister Ironworkers in being members who have now built the highest building this side (west) of the Mississippi. Right here in L. A.

Shane O’Brien to perform at a Benefit for Chase, 2 month old boy in need of a new heart

Chase Smith is in need of a new heart

August 13th, 2016 Update to post
July 13th, 2016 original

Chase Strong was operated on at Loma Linda Hospital the night
we performed this advertised fund raiser. It did go well and his body has not rejected the procedure to this date. His parents showed great strength in what I was privy to be a part of in Chase’s young life.

The event went very well with many donations through out the evening.
I’d personally like to thank the Ironworker from Local 433 who rode his ride to Chino with his girl to expressly give to this valued cause.
“Thank You Chris, you and your Lady have big hearts…

All in all, “Bless your little heart Chase Strong, and long may you love your life kiddo…” Best Regards Shane
