Charles Cook became an IAM member on July 10, 1962. He first worked at Reliance Electric Company in Madison, IN. As a member of Local 1109, he held every office. Charles later served as an officer of District 90 in Indianapolis for twenty years. He served as a Grand Lodge Auditor from 1981 until his retirement in 2001.
