Mary Love and Danna France knew the value of teamwork – at least when it came to embezzling from their union.  Their combined take came to around $70,000.  Love, 51, a resident of northwest suburban St. Louis, during October 1998-December 2005 served as president of Local 96 of the American Federation of Government Employees, which represents workers at the Jefferson Barracks and John Cochran VA hospitals.  During that time, the U.S. Attorney’s Office charged, she diverted more than $43,000 in union checks toward personal use.  On November 15, a federal jury convicted Love of theft and filing false records.  For her part, France, 42, who pleaded guilty in October, stole more than $26,000.  France is due for sentencing in January; Love is due in February.  (St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 11/17/06).
