INFORMATION REGARDING SIGN:
I purchased this sign by a gentleman by the name of Russell A. Brosseau who worked private security for the Consumers Power Big Rock Point Nuclear Power Plant in Charlevoix, Michigan until he retired in the 1990s. The Big Rock Plant opened in 1962 and was deconstructed in 1997. Mr. Brosseau told me that this sign had Reddy Killowatt suspended in neon glass tubes in the middle. I have done extensive research on this sign and was unable to find any photos to verify that Reddy Kilowatt was in fact in the middle of this sign. I could also never verify that this sign came from Big Rock Point. The only other similar style sign I could find online was in a video narrated by Ronald Reagan on the opening day of Big Rock. The name of the video is called ( Headstart On Tomorrow ) and there is a smaller version of my sign on the wall behind Ronald Reagan standing in the lobby in the last 2 minutes of the video. I took a screenshot photo so i could show you the smaller version. As you can see from the photo provided, the Michigan Mitten is in the middle of the smaller version so we might never know for sure weather or not Reddy Kilowatt or the Michigan Mitten was suspended in neon in the middle of the sign.
Please feel free to find and watch the video on You Tube as it is very informative regarding the Big Rock Point Nuclear Power Plant.
