Archaic Term of the Day: fathers and sons local

fathers and son local--before the organizational list was put into effect and before women started fighting their way into Local #1, the local was known as a fathers and sons local, where each card member could nominate one person for membership, usually a son. If you had two sons, you would find a member with only daughters, and get him to nominate your second son.

The first woman was initiated into Local #1 in December 1977. I am trying to track down the name of this tough sister.
