Born in Ruddervoorde, Belgium.
The following is from Phill VanDerSchaegen: In the 1950s and early 60s (the mine closed in about 1963) Dad was very active in the union(AFL/CIO Steelworkers). I remember meetings in our house and him going to conventions in Duluth. He would come home from the conventions and talk about meeting the Democrat politicians; e.g. Hubert Humphrey.
He was on-and-off Chairman in the Iron County Democratic Party. I recall having campaign signs, buttons and matchbooks around the house during every major election. He would pass that stuff out.
