Robert "Bud" Behlman

When Robert "Bud" Behlman was a child growing up in Naugatuck, members of his family were threatened with the loss of their pensions when their employer, Uniroyal, closed.  They and other white and blue collar employees worked with the NVP to guarantee that their pension benefits were secure.  Many years later, Bud Behlman became involved with the NVP through his church and eventually became NVP president.
