One of my great grandfathers, Charlie Kehl, was a early movie stage electrician in Chicago and a charter member of the IBEW in Chgo. He passed in his late 90's and family rumor has it that May West sent flowers to his funeral in the mid 50's.
A branch of the family was involved in Theater Union Work, one of his daughter's, my great aunt was president of the stage hands union in Chgo; and some of my father's 1st cousins became TV camera men.
