German Newspaper Publisher Completes Unique U.S. Road Trip

Two-month itinerary retraced the 1957 travels of a grandather who previously helmed the publication

Jochen Anderweit, publisher of German newspaper Grafschafter Nachrichten, never met his grandfather Hans Kip. But 60 years after Kip traveled around the U.S., grandson Anderweit has posted all of his relative’s articles written during a sanctioned 1957 visit to the United States and blogged two months’ worth of his own about his duplicate travels across America, in an RV, accompanied by his family.

Kip was front-page news in Holland, Mich. when he visited there in April of 1957.
