NOTE:
This online version is a reformatted (e.g., buttons
at left removed to improve readability) sub-set of
the full version sent to paid-up members, with
updates to event information since the Bridge was
distributed. For example, it does
not contain names of recent retirees, new members,
or members who have passed away, nor does it
contain the list of member email addresses which
is sent out from time to time. There will typically be a delay of a
week or so before a new month's version is posted
hereāif you want to get the Bridge as it comes off
the press, become
a member and request the full-color PDF
version, the eBridge, which is sent by email and can
be received wherever you may be, unlike the paper
version. Note that Honeywell outsources the
distribution of the black-and-white paper Bridge. It
is typically delivered one to two weeks after the
PDF eBridge is delivered by email, so apart from
news being a little old, members receiving only the
paper copy may miss out on first come, first served
signup for upcoming events.

President's Perspective
2020 is
certainly flying by! Already
our third 2020 Bridge is being
published and the HRSC Board
hopes everything is well with
you and yours. The Arizona
weather has certainly been
different this year. Just
recently we had some very nice
rainfall which we have not
seen in several years.
The
Scholarship Program is well
underway. Your students need
to have their applications in
this year by April 1, 2020. It
is critical they get this done
because after April 1st they
will not be considered for the
2020 scholarship monies.
We have a
long list of events coming up
through May 2020 and beyond.
We hope you will come out and
enjoy some of them with us.
The Day at the Races is
planned for March 18, 2020.
Turf Paradise provides a
wonderful buffet that cannot
be beat in price, quantity,
and quality by other
providers. Spend the day
indulging in food, drink,
desserts, horse racing, and
visiting with friends. The
details are provided in this
monthās newsletter. The
deadline for reservations is
approaching fast, March 11,
2020.
Also the
upcoming Picnic/Pot Luck is
coming up in April. Bring a
friend and a dish to share and
we will have a crew cooking
free brats and hamburgers. The
list of events goes into May
and beyond.
The most
interesting is the Hall of
Flame Museum of Firefighters
tour and lunch. I donāt think
we have done this one in the
past. Reservations are due and
payable by May 6th.
Just a
note, Chicago at the Arizona
Broadway Theatre is SOLD OUT.
Looking
forward to seeing you all at
the upcoming events!
If any of
you have burning questions or
comments, feel free to call or
write me.

MISSION
STATEMENT
Honeywell
Retiree Social Club (HRSC) is a social
organization in Arizona for Honeywell
International, Inc. retirees. This
organization will be open without
regard to prior class of employment,
race, creed, sex or geographical
residence.
HRSC will provide activities, programs
(such as Fix-It Guys and Scholarship
Program) and projects of interest to
retirees and spouses. It will
facilitate effective communications
between members, other Honeywell
retiree clubs and Honeywell
International, Inc. It will provide
opportunities to renew acquaintances
and promote fellowship among retirees,
and will assist retirees in
maintaining and enhancing the image of
Honeywell International, Inc., in the
eyes of the public.
Any comments or
claims made within the publication are
solely the responsibility of the author(s)
and do not necessarily express the views of
Honeywell Inc. or the directors, officers,

the Editor
PAPER
OR ELECTRONIC?
The Bridge
Once
again we would
like to take
this opportunity
to encourage our
members to
switch from a
paper Bridge to
the electronic
version of the
Bridge. Often
there is a lag
in delivery that
could cause
members to miss
current and/or
upcoming events.
In order to
receive the
latest
information, we
highly recommend
that you start
receiving an
electronic copy
of the Bridge
each month. They
will be sent
directly to your
E-mail address
within one or
two days of
completion. An
electronic copy
of the Bridge
can also be
found on line at
www.hrcaz.org. The
online Bridge,
however, is not
a copy of the
full Bridge,
only a subset
focusing more on
upcoming events.
Just click on the āOnline
Bridgeā menu
button for
access. We
strongly encourage
everyone to
start using the
electronic
Bridge which
will save time
in the long run
and provide the
most current
information
within a matter
of days instead
of weeks.
HONEYWELL
RETIREE SOCIAL CLUB
ADDRESS
When mailing items to the
HRSC treasurer, please
ensure that you address
the envelope using the
full name of the club,
i.e. Honeywell Retiree
Social Club, so it goes to
the proper location. Some
people just put HRSC on
the envelope and it ends
up in HR which slows down
the process.
Looking
for New Club Members
We are always on the lookout
for new members to join the
Honeywell Retirees Social
Club (HRSC). As Mary said in
the Presidentās Perspective,
we have a lot of interesting
and fun events coming up for
2020. If you are already a
member, we appreciate your
support and hope you enjoy
the activities and
newsletter. Honeywell no
longer provides the retiree
clubs with a list of new
retirees. If you know of
anyone who has recently
retired, please encourage
them to join HRSC so they
can take advantage of the
upcoming events and start
receiving the monthly Bridge
newsletter. A membership
also entitles membersā
descendants to apply for
scholarships. The membership
fee is only $5.00 per year
which is a great value for
the benefits received.

MVD urges
Arizonans to consider getting a voluntary travel
I.D. Effective October 1, 2020, only
the Arizona Travel ID (driverās license or ID card), a
U.S. passport, and other federally approved
identification will be accepted at TSA airport
security checkpoints for domestic travel.
If youāre currently using your driver license or
ID card at domestic airport security checkpoints, or
if youāre renewing your current license, it is
recommended that you apply for the new Arizona Travel
ID card to replace your current Arizona driverās
license to save time later.
Background Information
The Arizona Travel ID is
the credential that complies with the federal REAL ID
Act of 2005. It is available as both a driver license
and identification card. There is a gold star embedded
in the card to show that the cardholder has provided
added proof of identification to ensure the license or
ID meets strict federal requirements.
Note: Rules for international travel are
unchanged, and a valid passport or equivalent will be
required to travel outside the United States.
The cost is $25 for both renewals and first-time
issues. Federal requirements require the Travel ID
to be valid for a maximum of eight years. Exceptions
apply, including drivers age 65 or older whose
licenses are currently valid for five years.
Forms of identification required for a Voluntary
Travel ID include one document such as a birth
certificate or a passport that proves identity; one
document that proves a Social Security number such as
a Social Security card or W-2 form, and two documents
such as utility bills or bank statements that prove
Arizona residency.
For non-U.S. citizens who have authorized legal
presence, the expiration date will be based off the
immigration documents presented, not to exceed eight
years. You will need one document to establish birth
or legal presence; one document to verify your
Social Security number; and two documents to
establish residency in Arizona.

Are
you 50+ years of
age and a member
of the Honeywell

Do
you have a college
student in your

ā¢
Are
they maintaining a
3.0 grade point
average (GPA) or
better?
If
you can answer yes to all of the
above, then your college student
is eligible for a scholarship
from the Honeywell Retiree Clubs
Scholarship Foundation. This
means FREE
MONEY $$$ for
your student to aid them with
their college expenses, help
them achieve their goals in life
and become productive members of
the community and society. These
funds are available to our
students through the generous
contributions of our retiree
club members and Honeywell. The
scholarships usually range in
value from $500 to
$1,500 per academic year,
depending on the total
donations.
Application
submissions opened on
December 1 and will close
April 1, 2020. No
applications will be
accepted or considered after
that date. If you
have a descendant who would
qualify for our scholarship,
please send them an application
and encourage them to submit it
in a timely manner. Applications
can be found on our website at www.hrcaz.org.
Click on the Scholarship button
on the left side of the page.
WHY SHOULD YOU
DONATE?
We live
in a global economy. The ability
of the United States to maintain its
leadership role in the world, and the
resulting benefits which accrue to us
as citizens, demand an educated
workforce as well as educated citizens
and voters.
Supporting education by donating to
scholarships is in your own
interest! When you donate money
to our scholarship fund, think of it
as paying it forward by investing in a
studentās future.
By
helping someone afford a college
education, you are raising their
salary potential and hence the tax
base. This is a good thing for
everyone - better roads, better
schools, better teachers, more doctors
just to name a few.
Successful, well run communities
attract more investment. Not to
mention more folks with jobs paying
into Social Security and Medicare
which is something all retirees are
interested in preserving.
Giving
makes you feel good, strengthens
personal values and shows your
children and grandchildren what you
care about.
Best
of all, giving to the Honeywell
Retiree Clubs Scholarship Foundation
means every cent is used for
scholarships.
Please review your
charitable contributions and seriously
consider adding this Scholarship Program
to your list of worthy causes. The
Scholarship Program is qualified as a
501(c)(3) so donations should be tax
deductible on your state and federal
returns (check with your tax advisor).
If you would like
to donate at any time throughout our fiscal
year, please make your check payable to:

Southwest Airlines Maintenance Hangar
Tour

Wednesday February 6, 2018
The
Bridge
Twenty
five club
members
visited
Southwest
Airlines for
our 5th
visit.
Each tour is
different.
This time the
parking lot
was torn up
due to
construction
of new
buildings. We
went briefly
air side to
see where
their new
hanger is
being built.
SW is starting
ETOPS flights
to Hawaii so
Phoenix will
be their main
West Coast
maintenance
center as
California is
too expensive.
There
was only one
aircraft in
the hangar
today being
repaired after
lightning made
holes in its
skin. We had
plenty of time
to look around
the outside
but could not
go on board
this time as
they were
finishing up
repairs. It
was
fascinating to
walk through
the parts
department and
see 1000s of
individual
parts used for
repairs.

Hall
of Flame
Presentation HGRC - Mark
Steele Wednesday
February 6,
2019
Our featured
speaker, Dr.
Peter Molloy,
presented the
evolution of
the steam fire
engine. A fire
engine is a
vehicle that
pumps water
whereas a fire
truck carries
hoses, ladders
and other
equipment to
support the
engine and
fire fighters.
The
Industrial
Revolution
(1820-1840)
saw the
invention of
high pressure
steam engines
and the 1st
steam
locomotive in
England in
1825. John
Erikson used a
locomotive
boiler to
power a steam
driven water
pump in 1829
that delivered
160 gpm.
Though used
overseas,
London refused
to use this
device and
Erikson
emigrated to
the US where
he invented
the screw
propeller for
ships.
At
this time US
city fire
departments
were volunteer
ethnic gangs
competing to
fight fires
using manual
pump engines
pulled by the
firefighters.
A Hodge Engine
offered
in response to
a request by
an insurance
company in
1841 was able
to pump 1300
gpm up to 150
feet, but was
not accepted.
In
1852
Cincinnati
became the
first city
fire
department to
use a Latta
Engine with a
capacity of
600 gpm.
All
engines by
this time were
horse drawn.
The service
life for
horses pulling
steam powered
fire engines
was about 10
years.
Development
of steam powered
fire engines
continued with
the Amoskeag
Engine
(1860-1900)
and the Ahrens
Engine in
1870. Over
4000 machines
were produced
by 14
manufacturers
through the
early 1900s
with
capacities of
up to 1400
gpm. Note that
prior to the
installation
of high
capacity water
mains, water
sources for
fighting fires
were rivers,
lakes and
nearby ponds.
The
1st motorized
steam fire
engines were
produced by
American
LaFrance and
Ahrens-Fox
beginning in
1911. Both
water tube and
fire tube
boilers were
used in these
engines. Water
tube boilers
required
more cleaning
of residue on
the outside of
the tubes, but
fire tube
boilers had a
higher risk of
explosion due
to lack of
water or over
pressurization.
Boiler
explosions
were almost
always caused
by the
operator
trying get
more capacity
out of the
system.
With
the invention
of the
internal
combustion
engine, by
1925 there
were no more
steam powered
or horse-drawn
fire engines
produced.
Examples
of these
engines and
much more can
be found at
the Hall of
Flame Fire
Museum, 6101
East Van Buren
St. www.hallofflame.org.

The Arizona Travel ID is
the credential that complies with the federal REAL ID
Act of 2005. It is available as both a driver license
and identification card. There is a gold star embedded
in the card to show that the cardholder has provided
added proof of identification to ensure the license or
ID meets strict federal requirements.
