Those are great stories, Keith - keep 'em coming!

My great-grandfather started at Chevy in Flint when it was a relatively new company - probably in the teens or early 20s. He got his son (my grandfather) a summer job there during college in the late 20s-early 30s, during the depression, and during the UAW organization of the plant. (He has some not-very-complimentary stories of the UAW from those days.) My great aunt started at Pontiac in 1929, worked somewhere else within GM during the war when everything was consolidated, and then continued on with Oldsmobile in Lansing until she retired in 1974.

Various other aunts and uncles make up the remainder of the 300 or so years of GM experience in my family. Lotsa stories among them, too.
