  Jan's Uncle Hans Sipkens worked for the Holland-America Steamship Line. With funds loaned to him from his Uncle Jogem Sipkens, Jan was able to purchase a ticket for he and his new wife Anna. Jan and Anna sailed to America shortly after they married in 1910. They arrived on Ellis Island in New York and then took the train to Idaho. On the train the conductor said "Tickets", Anna said, "Jan, they are calling us". He went up to the conductor and after much discussion and lack of communication finally found out they were saying tickets not Tikker. After arriving in Idaho their first of seven children, Sadie, was bornin a tent behind the Sipkens home. Six of their seven children were bornin Buhl, Idaho. All were delivered by one of the Sipkens sisters, no doctor was ever in attendance. The whole family then came to California by train in 1923. The youngest son, Raymond, was born in 1928 in Venice, California. Better known as "Jan the tire biter". Grandpa Tikker was known for his temper. He once took a bite out of a tire because it went flat. He was a hod carrier and house painter, always wore those white painters hats.
