An Ironic Twist

The irony of sitting in a Congregational/UCC church memorializing the life of a labor leader Don Shelton wasn't lost on me.  My grandfather, Silas Gilbert Pierson, was a long term member of a Congregational congregation--Plymouth--in Denver who embraced Rockefeller's vituperative enmity for labor organizing in his company.  So I doubt any labor leaders of his era were fondly remembered in his church after their passing.  Of course, I can't be sure, but I'd bet a bundle on it.
