Darrell Miller, 74, is still working at the trade. In May he earned his 55-year membership pin from Local 27 (St. Louis). Born in 1936, Miller began his career at age 19, working five years at St. Louis Ship. He then became a helper at CBW Sheet & Iron Works. In 1961, he went to work for Continental Boiler (now known as Continental Fabricators Inc.), where he still works today at a burn table. Nicknamed “Hollywood” for his jet-black, slicked-back, hair style that lasted him well into his 60s, “Miller is always good for a wild story with plenty of laughs,” reports job steward Scott Werner. “Even at the age of 74, Hollywood is still among the steadiest hands in the shop with a torch. Any plans to retire may come someday, but for now the work helps keep him young,” says Werner.
