it had carried him through the years as something positive instead of totally negative That priest, when he was leaving, thanked Goldrick and the country (00:48:50)  “I fled for freedom of religion. We know we don’t have the best leadership, but at least you’re trying to give us a chance for the freedoms that we want.”  This statement has carried Goldrick through the years Stories (00:49:35) �At the tail-end of a sizable operation; his platoon was the last to be pulled out and they were being taken out by a CH-53, “Jolly Green Giant”  In the landing zone and the rest of battalion had already been evacuated, the pilot was “hot-dogging” it and landed the tail right into the ground  This caused the copter to flip upside down and break its blades, it then caught on fire  All the ammunition in it was going off; it burned for about two hours  Goldrick had already sent one squad back, but the rest were told to stay and guard the chopper site  It was a frightening situation because this fireball could be seen, and heard, for miles around; fortunately they didn’t get hit that night Goldrick never went to see any of the shows there, but he sent some of his men (00:51:25) Did get to have R&R after being given the Civic Officer position, went to Hawaii and saw his fiancée; there for only a week (00:51:58)  On the plane ride back to Vietnam, Goldrick had the feeling that he would never come back When going back home, was sent to Okinawa first (00:52:55)  Had to turn his gear back in, some men complained about this  He even had to turn in his jungle boots, he has never forgotten this because he had those boots the whole time he was there; still ticked off about it  Went to the Air Force Officers’ Club at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa with four Marine Infantry Officers and six Helicopter Pilots  Got tanked and heckled the Air Force Officers for having never seen a war below 50 thousand feet, but they weren’t thrown out  It was a shock going from a War-zone to a place of relative peace, overwhelming  Stayed there for three days, flew out on the “Freedom Bird” as they called it  Landed in El Toro, then took a civilian flight back to Dulles Airport, Washington D.C., where he met his parents and fiancée (0:54:42) o It was a surreal experience, wasn’t quite sure how to act �o Bought a 1969 Dodge Charger after seeing it at the PX and saving his money, a very joyous moment o Got married in March, had returned in January Felt so proud when he went in as a Marine Officer, but so ticked off when he came back; made the decision to not let any of his children serve in the U.S. Military (00:56:10)  Was angry at Kennedy for getting the U.S. into the war, really angry at Johnson for not handling it well  Very ticked-off at the entire system  Was at a formal dance with his wife and had left his uniform’s hat in the coat room; someone had taken it out to the parking lot and stomped on it Was in Camp Lejeune, where Goldrick had a company in Infantry Training, and was on the tarmac ready to police the riots going on in Columbia University (00:57:35)  Feels that it was a good thing they did not go Went to The Wall, a healing point (00:58:30) Went through psychological therapy for his anger issues, PTSD (even though at this time such a disorder was not diagnosed) Was struck when he saw these young men in a bar having fun and realizing what was taken from him because he fought a war that no one appreciated Went to the VA and talked to the counselor there who said that because he was an Officer, he was only borderline PTSD because he had control (01:00:10)  To which he thought, “I didn’t have control over shit.” Visiting The Wall was a cathartic experience for Goldrick Was in the Marines for a total of three years, ’68-’71 and three more years in Reserve (Camp Lejeune) (01:01:45) July 14, 1969 was the worse day in his service Remembers the first Marine Corps Ball where he went with his fiancée which was the highlight of his career, very proud to have been a Marine Officer Credits the Marine Corp. for his success in civilian life for showing what he could actually do (01:03:35) �He’s disturbed by what is happening now because it is similar to what happened to him If they get the rug pulled out from under them, he’ll be pissed � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

of migrants during the winters Migrants – (5:08) • Norma has never picked herself, but has heard that it is a very tiresome and humbling experience • She is not a migrant worker but is a Mexican

Los padres de Norma son de Michoacán, México. Su familia vino a los Estados Unidos en 1999, y ella creció en Holland, Michigan. Luego, Norma y su hermana mayor se mudaron al condado de Oceana para vivir con su tía y tío, quienes tienen una tienda llamada La Probadita que está ubicada en el centro de Hart. Como la familia de Norma nunca trabajó como trabajadores migrantes mientras crecía, le asombró aprender de la enormidad de la agricultura en Hart.

Norma’s parents are originally from Michoacán, Mexico. Her family came to the United States in 1999, and she grew up in Holland, Michigan. Later, Norma and her older sister moved to Oceana County to live with their aunt and uncle, who own a Mexican store named La Probadita in downtown Hart. As Norma’s family never worked as migrants or pickers while she grew up, she was astonished by how big the agricultural business was in Hart. Norma has spent time volunteering with the Hart Main Street Program, the Oceana Hispanic Center, and her church. She hopes to see more positive relationships built between farmers and workers in the future.

Day 16 by windoworks Will I be able to go outside again when the all clear sounds? I was thinking about that this morning. I used to hug friends and sometimes kiss cheeks. I’m not sure how comfortable I feel about that now. Yesterday we were walking along Wealthy and we saw our friends JS and PA on the other side of the road and for a split second I almost ran across the road for a loving hug with each of them - and then the four of us stood awkwardly on each side of the road and mimed hugging. I miss those hugs, but I’m scared. On a lighter note, watching online I have learned how to propagate succulents (may never need that), learned the differences between various butterflies (did you know the red spots or markings on a butterfly signal to a bird that its not good to eat?), and watched endless cooking videos by Chef Lidia Bastianich which has seriously altered the way CB and I cook. Not that we weren’t good cooks before but her Italian tips and tricks have made our meals even better. And speaking of that, I have to acknowledge that CB has now elevated from sous chef to chef. His meals are wonderful, Again, speaking of CB, he has decided (after watching an instructional video) that all he needed was some electric hair clippers and he could cut his own hair. He ordered them online and I am agog to see what happens. I”ll let you know, but he’s not touching my hair. My big experiment will be getting the shellac off my nails. I’ve got all the equipment now and I’m thinking of trying it next week. Again, I’ll keep you posted. On Vancouver Island, British Columbia, where my brother AS and his wife LS live, they are now completely locked down and here’s an update from my niece EB and her builder partner who live in Cornwall , England. She is furloughed from her job but the government is subsidizing 80% of salaries so she’s not too worried. EB went grocery shopping yesterday and they only allowed 1 person from each household in (there’s an idea!). The store had tape marks all over the floor to keep you apart (there’s another idea) and all items were limited. There is no driving anywhere and its strictly policed. And last night the two of them and all their neighbors went outside to applaud the National Health Service workers. She said it was amazing as you could hear clapping and shouting in the pitch black for miles. And speaking of that, last night was the second night of the Grand Rapids wave to your neighbors. We are asked to go outside between 7:30-8:30pm and wave to our neighbors. CB and I went out and were just thinking of coming back inside as no one else was out, when our neighbor 4 doors down, RH came out and we had a short catch up conversation while staying one velociraptor apart. (You didn’t know? From nose to tail tip velociraptors were 6 feet long, I learnt that online). So, the neighbor wave is on for the foreseeable future and perhaps I’ll just wave out the tv room window. ��Speaking of which, in solidarity with my daughter ZB who has a toy bear in her living room window looking down on the street below, for all the little Balmain children going on a bear hunt, I have put Poochie and a kangaroo with a joey in my tv room window facing the street. Now I know Poochie is actually a puppy, but I’m trying. And, the flashback photo ��This is the Pergamon Museum on Museumsinsel (Museum Island) on the Spree River in the middle of Berlin, Germany. In August 2016, CB and I lived for a month in Berlin in the most elegant apartment I have ever been in. Every day we went out after breakfast and explored all of Berlin and the surrounding areas. Berlin has a very efficient train system, both above ground and underground. It was almost impossible to get into the Pergamon, and we chose a day that we thought might be quieter and we lined up for about 30-40 minutes to go in, which wasn’t bad at all. Unfortunately parts were under refurbishment but what we saw was spectacular. Mostly because the museum is just stuffed full of artifacts that explorers stole or just took. What you’re looking at ia complete Roman temple. This photo was taken from the temple’s second floor. I’ll just let that sink in for a minute someone took the WHOLE THING. It was probably acquired from a Roman town in Turkey somewhere and I bet they would like it back. I made CB do a running historian’s commentary in every room we visited and even though we were speaking in English we gathered a little crowd around us surreptitiously trying to listen in. I loved Berlin and I would happily visit there again. So you know the drill, but be well and safe � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource COVID-19 Journals Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Grand Valley State University. University Libraries Description An account of the resource This collection of journals and personal narratives was solicited from the GVSU community by archivists of the University Libraries during the events of the 2020 COVID-19 global pandemic. During this unprecedented crisis the university closed suddenly, following federal and state guidelines of social distancing to reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus. The university closed its campuses on March 12, 2020, and quickly moved students out of campus housing. Faculty swiftly transitioned to fully-online teaching for the remainder of the Winter 2020 semester, and all campus events, including commencement, were cancelled. The purpose of the COVID-19 Journaling Project was to document the individual and personal experiences of GVSU’s students, staff, faculty, and the wider community during this time of international crisis. Some project participants were university student employees who were compensated for their journaling. Other participants were granted stipends or extra credit for submitting entries to the archives. Still others participated without any compensation or credit. The University Archives remains grateful to all who submitted journals, for helping us to understand the impact of this crisis on our community.

Rhem Christ Community Church Spring Lake, Michigan Eastertide II, April 18, 1993 Transcription of the spoken sermon Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. Luke 1:1-14 … As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked among with them; but they were kept from recognizing him. Luke 24:13-17 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread. Luke 24: 28-35 We made a move last week. Easter was the hinge. We are making a shift from our Lenten pilgrimage in which we focused on the faith of Jesus, an examination of those things that Jesus believed—the deep convictions of Jesus’ life that shaped the way he lived, and the message he proclaimed, and the ministry he performed. We saw that Easter, when the crucified one is brought to life by God, was an affirmation, was a confirmation of that way of Jesus—the resurrection of Jesus by the power of God. And the Christian movement understood this resurrection as God’s ‘yes’ to Jesus—as the seal of God’s approval on the way Jesus lived and what Jesus taught. Now in the season of Eastertide, I want us to see how the Christian movement, coming out of the womb of Judaism as it did and drawing its vision from Jesus the Jew, came to define itself as having faith in Jesus. The difference is in the preposition. The immediate community around Jesus experienced that resurrection as “Good News,” as wonderful “Good News.” That “Good News” would eventually trigger a new genre into the literary world. The Gospels are really a literary genre of writing all their own. They are not biographies, not chronicles of the days of Jesus’ life. They are faith documents, proclamations of faith from a particular theological understanding. It is the life of Jesus seen through the lens of Easter, and it is a celebration full of joy in that triumph of the resurrection. © Grand Valley State University   �Good News Richard A. Rhem Page 2   When those first witnesses encountered Jesus, they reached for a way to express what they sensed, felt. How were they to explain it? What was their experience? What do you think? How might you have described it? Here was one who had been crucified, and with the shattering of faith and all of the disappointment that surrounded the darkest of all days, this one who had been crucified was present. There was a presence, and there was a power, and it was personal, and it was Jesus. It was the one who had been crucified who they sensed was with them. How were they to explain it? They spoke of resurrection. The idea of resurrection did not arise with Jesus’ resurrection. The idea of resurrection had been in Jewish faith, at least in Pharisaic thought, for a couple of centuries. There was a growing conviction in Judaism in those centuries that God would raise the righteous, who were suffering under the heel of the oppressor. The Jewish people believed they were God’s elect and chosen people, and that in their terrible sufferings God would not leave them destitute, but God would raise the righteous. In Daniel there is a statement to that effect. So the idea of resurrection was not introduced with the experience of Jesus risen from the dead. I think often in the Christian Church we have stressed in the Easter event the empty tomb, the objectivity, the factual nature of it. Actually, to be honest, it was not that historically objective. It wasn’t the kind of thing that you could demonstrate and prove. Luke starts out his Gospel by saying, “I have been aware of these things from the beginning. I have studied them very carefully, and I am going to give you an orderly account of these things. I think that we have a document whose historicity, whose reliability we can count on. Nonetheless, it is a document of faith.” And as a matter of fact the appearance of Jesus was not the resuscitation of a corpse, so that you go down the street and you see somebody you haven’t seen for a while. You shake hands and you say, “How nice to see you again. Hi, Jesus. Gee, I thought it was all over. How are you?” No, it wasn’t that. There was something strange about it. It wasn’t the resuscitation of a corpse. I used the prophecy in Ezekiel 37 in the Easter message last week. In the valley of dry bones the Spirit of God, or the wind of God, blows across those dry bones and they begin to come together. They get sinews and flesh, and they stand up like a living army. The point of that is that it is the Breath of God. It is the Spirit of God that enlivens. It is not the fact that the dry bones actually become living again. Too many of us like to hang on to that empty tomb as if to say, “doesn’t that prove it?” Too many of us cling to the empty tomb as though Jesus was laid in that tomb and three days later his corpse came to life and he walked out. Perhaps that imagery is almost inevitable. We tend to think in concrete images. And that can be misleading. The old funeral committal liturgy – we have a new one now with which I am more comfortable – but you’ve probably heard these words at a grave side: “To Almighty God we commend this God’s servant, looking for the general resurrection in the last day, through the Lord Jesus Christ, who’s coming in © Grand Valley State University �Good News Richard A. Rhem Page 3   glorious majesty to judge the world…” And then this, “The earth and the sea will give up their dead.” Now if you take that literally, over here in Spring Lake in the cemetery, all of a sudden, Whoosh! There they go! Or, say you are out on a Caribbean cruise and suddenly the sea at the Bermuda Triangle just kind of erupts with bodies. Is that how we must take that image, so concretely, so physically, of the resuscitation of corpses? We do need concrete imagery. It helps us. It is really all we know. But listen to the rest of the concrete, physical descriptions in the Gospel accounts. In the Gospel, Luke for example has Jesus at one point sitting down at table and eating fish, but that probably was in order to say, “Look this wasn’t a fantasy. It wasn’t a phantom, a ghost.” We are talking about real personal presence. On the night of Easter the disciples are behind a closed door and suddenly Jesus is there. I mean he “appears” - doors and windows are barred. How does he do this? No explanations are given. Then there is the story of the two guys walking on the Road to Emmaus and somebody joins them. They don’t recognize him at first. Now please, they don’t recognize Jesus? When he agrees to sit down at table with them, when he blesses the bread and breaks it and gives to them, then, says the author, “their eyes are opened.” But once they recognize him in the breaking of bread – whoosh, he’s gone! The body the Gospel writers speak of is able to do things no resuscitated body could do. Whatever Luke has to say about him having a filet of halibut, he didn’t need fish to sustain that spiritual body. A spiritual body. It seems a contradiction in terms and it can be confusing. The New Testament witnesses - how were they to express it? This one whom they knew to have been crucified, dead, buried, was experienced as alive, powerful, present personally. So they struggled to give witness to their conviction. That experience finds stammering expression in the Bible, using various images and metaphors, but it breaks down when we try to use language because it is an inexpressible experience. What was their Easter faith? It was Good News to them because it said to them that the God of Israel had said ‘yes’ to the Way of Jesus. They were following Jesus. They had listened. They had heard. They had heeded. They were followers of Jesus. They had come to love Jesus. Then on Good Friday it all ended in the darkness of Golgotha, and now this one who had been crucified was alive and it was Good News to them because it was a sign and seal to them that the Way of Jesus was the Way of God. It was a sign that Jesus was right, that God was like Jesus said God was. That Jesus was right over against the established religious authorities and the whole temple authority structure. Their experience of a resurrected Jesus confirmed what Jesus had promised, that God was a God of the abandoned, a God full of compassion, a God of inclusive love, the embracing of the whole world, a God who would touch and heal, a God who forgives. Not a God who was waiting for some kind of sacrifice to be made in order that God might forgive, but a God like the Old © Grand Valley State University �Good News Richard A. Rhem Page 4   Testament Psalmist said, “Lord, if you should mark iniquity who could stand? But there is forgiveness with you.” Jesus was right and the fact that the crucified one was raised confirmed in the hearts of his followers that Jesus was right. That was good news to them. You know there was nothing in the faith in the risen Jesus of those early Jewish followers, those disciples that would have necessitated the breaking off of the Christian Church. In the Eastern origins of the Christian movement there was no need that it be separated from the womb of Judaism because they were in line with that strain of Phariseeism that was looking for resurrection. Jesus was a righteous one. God raised Jesus. If Peter and James had first met Jesus they would have been dumbstruck, of course. But on reflection they would have said, “Hallelujah, God raised the Kingdom. It’s true. Jesus said the Kingdom was among us. The Kingdom is here.” Now, to be sure, they didn’t expect that one would be raised; they were looking for a general resurrection. So Paul, a Jew, writing that Letter to the Corinthians says, “Jesus raised as the first fruits, but the first fruits are the first fruits of a harvest that is to follow very soon.” Obviously those Jewish believers experiencing the crucified one living, named it “resurrection” and expected the whole thing to explode very quickly. Well, it’s been 2000 years, and it didn’t happen that way. But that doesn’t take away from what their experience was of Jesus’ living presence. It was a confirmation of Jesus’ Way, and they put their faith in Jesus. Again, not faith in Jesus in place of faith in the God of Israel. It’s not as though now Jesus is God. It is that they had faith in Jesus because of the God to whom Jesus pointed them. It was simply a confirmation of the God of Israel who takes the side of the righteous, which was their deepest conviction. It was Good News for them! But it was more than that. It also, as I concluded last week, gave them hope. It gave them hope that the world was not finally a Good Friday world, but an Easter world. As I said last week, “I would follow Jesus if Good Friday were the last chapter. I would follow Jesus if the cross were the end. I believe in Jesus’ way of being human in this world. But if that were the end, there would be no hope.” In our world especially with the media available to us, where into our living rooms and into our dens and our kitchens, pour all of the images of the anguish of the world, if I had no hope in God I would still want to follow Jesus. But I wonder if I wouldn’t run out of gas and if that would not be to live with a terrible sense of futility in the face of all that’s wrong in the world. What’s going on in Bosnia, again this week – it seems like it is as bad as it can get, but then it gets worse. The continuing drama around the world of Palestine and Israel, and you name it, to say nothing of Los Angeles, of racism, of sexism, of homophobia, of the divisions that tear people, of the moral vigilantes that would blow up the world for the sake of their idea of God and truth. In a world of almost unrelieved tragedy, if I did not believe in Easter, I think it would be almost overwhelming when you look into the faces of the poor, of the refugee, of the © Grand Valley State University �Good News Richard A. Rhem Page 5   starving child, of the old woman with a babushka with marks of suffering on her visage. It would be almost too much if it were a Good Friday world, period. The Gospel means literally Good News because God didn’t leave Jesus dead; God not only said ‘yes’ to Jesus’ Way, which I want to follow, but God also said, “Righteousness will not always be crucified. Love will not always and forever be defeated. Justice will not always be absent from the land.” I don’t know how. I don’t know when. The images in the Bible, in the New Testament, in the Easter community are rich pictures of a day when there is a city, a new Jerusalem, and through the city there is a river of crystal and on the banks of the river are trees whose leaves are for the healing of the nations. Images of a day when God will make all things new and tears will be wiped away and there will be no more pain and no more sorrow, no more death and crying. Images of an age that is ending and a new age that is being born. They are all images. They are all stammering attempts to say, “I believe in God. I believe in a God who is creator, whose breath calls the dead to life, who vindicated the way of Jesus and one day, some way, will make all things new.” That’s Good News. That’s the Gospel. © Grand Valley State University � https://digitalcollections.library.gvsu.edu/files/original/705d4e85a806c9319831cb2a3f839df1.mp3 090bf057ce6a0b7800a96e70c0ae10ce Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Rhem Collection Description An account of the resource Text and sound recordings of the sermons, prayers, services, and articles of Richard Rhem, pastor emeritus of Christ Community Church in Spring Lake, Michigan, where he served for 37 years. Starting in the mid 1980's, Rhem began to question some of the traditional Christian dogma that he had been espousing from the pulpit. That questioning was a first step in a long and interesting spiritual journey, one that he openly shared with his congregation. His journey is important, in part because it is reflective of the questioning, the yearnings, and the gradual revision of beliefs that many persons in this part of the century have experienced and continue to experience. It is important also because of the affirming and inclusive way his questioning was done and his thinking evolved. His sermons and other written and spoken materials together document the steps in his journey as it took a turn in 1985, yet continued to revolve around the framework and liturgies of the Christian calendar.
