Mr. and Mrs. Charles Luna
    In celebration of their fiftieth wedding anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Luna will be honored by their children with a reception from 3:00 to 5:00 PM on
Sunday, November 25, 1979, at Lake Wood Country Club, Gaston and La Vista, in
Dallas.
    The former Opal Lewis and Charles Luna, both Celeste High School graduates,
were married on November 29, 1929 in Cooper.  Their two children are Mrs. Larry
(Sharlie Ann Luna) Guthrie of Waco and Dan Lewis Luna of Bedford.
Grandchildren are Allison Guthrie and Merrill Guthrie of Waco and Danny Luna of
Bedford.
    The Lunas spend their time between their home at 6826 Vivian in Dallas and
an apartment at 1009 Wilson Boulevard in Arlington, Virginia, where he is
active on the board of directors of Amtrak.  Luna is the only charter member of
the Amtrak board still serving in that capacity.  He is retired as President
Emeritus of the United Transportation Union where he was the first elected
president after serving as the last president of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen prior to the consolidation of the four big railroad unions under his
leadership.  Luna's railroad career began in May of 1925 with the Santa Fe
Railroad and progressed through more than fifty years with the B of RT and UTU.
He is also a fifty year Mason with the Tannehill Blue Lodge in Dallas.
