December 10, 1931: Christie’s nickname

December 10, 1931

Photo of “Pete Onion” dated August 1931

Christie got a new lunch pan and engraved his nickname (Pete) on its side. His Uncle William and his Father [George Schenk] called him Pete onion[1. I think I’ve transcribed this correctly. Sure wish I knew where the nickname came from!] when he was a baby. He finally lost the onion and everybody calls him Pete.
