Sheri Gassaway At The St. Louis Labor Tribune reports Ironworkers Local 396’s Training School recently welcomed its youngest visitor yet - an eight-year-old Moscow Mills girl who’s been fascinated with welding since she was only five.  Her Father, Jeff Deane, welds on the side.  His Daughter, Addi, watched him weld for a year, and finally, when she was six, he started showing her the ropes.  Since then, she’s created dozens of metal and iron pieces of artwork.  She even has her own Facebook page and YouTube channel: Welding with Addi.  “She really enjoys it, and she’s good at it,” Jeff Deane said. “So, we thought we’d introduce her to some careers in which welding is involved.  We contacted Ironworkers Local 396 and Addi was able to spend the day interviewing the Members and learning some of the specifics of the Trade.”
