Kip Christensen at the union-sponsored rest tent, ca 1950
This photo of my Grandfather, Kip Christensen (1919-1972), shows him staffing a union-sponsored rest
tent, probably at a county fair. The sign next to him says "Do You Have
Any Questions About Unions? ASK US!" My Gramma Audrey was proud of her
contributions to the United Auto Workers Local No. 21 in Traverse City,
Michigan, which included service as its President. Kip and Audrey were dedicated supporters of the United Auto Workers, and its influential mid-20th
century leader, Walter Reuther. Wikipedia has decent short articles on
both subjects.
