But the most interesting part about it, every time something happened, [unclear] would run out there with a newspaper, and say “you see this happened,” and one time he said, “It’s going to change.” And he said, you see that nigger over there? He going to help make that change? And you know, that’s how we got a chance to meet him. A lot of them would come in that office. Sammy Davis Junior, Medgar Evers. I mean, you had top movie stars would come in there, too. CC: So did you meet Sammy Davis Junior also? (11:53) CG: Honey, we had a chance to meet all of them. CC: Oh, good. CG: That’s what you call, in the right place at the right time. CC: Yes. CG: ‘Cause they was working along with the NAACP. CC: Did you ever see Sammy Davis Junior perform? CG: No. CC: Did he ever doing anything while you were in the office there? CG: No. The main thing they did was talk with Medgar and then they’d leave out. Because, honey, downstairs, you had police cars like, it was like a holiday. And see, the only thing �different then, was it was a Masonic Temple and the police couldn’t just come up in there like they wanted to. SS: What kind of temple? CG: Masonic. ‘Cause Medgar was a Mason. He had his office in the Masonic Temple. CC: Okay. (12:53) CG: And, so like, all the police cars be on the outside. I mean, every whole day, we’re looking out the window, looking down at them. It was scary. CC: I bet it was. CG: But, wait a minute. The main thing we were scared about, like the main people that I was with, you know, going to different meetings and different things, were the Freedom Riders. And we would go downstairs, you know. To get a pop or something, you know or have a mass meeting or something like that. And they were right behind us. They were right behind us. I’m not talking about the police. I’m talking about the Ku Klux Klan. They were right behind us. SS: (female voice): Do you remember when those three boys got killed down there? CG: Uh huh. ‘Cause I talked to James Chaney the night before he was killed. And they found them on my birthday, June 23rd. it upset me so bad. That’s when I really started drinking. More. (14:04) SS: How old was you? CG: Twelve years old. Yeah. But, I knew ‘em. ‘Cause they used to bring me home all the time, from different meetings and everything. The same station wagon. They used to bring me home. They used to bring a lot of us home. And, honey, when I found out, you know, from looking at the movie and everything, how they used to keep close tabs on them, that’s scary. That is really scary. I mean, they had the car tag number. The had a [unclear] file. They brought it out. And I read it. And on it, they had people’s names and if you were with them, they had your name down there. I mean, it was scary. They had a paper with the address, you know, everything. They just had everything about you. But I was like, I hung with ‘em. (15:10) CC: Carolyn, now who are you saying had all of your names and addresses? CG: The KKK. CC: The KKK, okay. �CG: And then whoever…I don’t like to talk too much about it, ‘cause that’s scary. CC: Sure it is. CG: And, like, I seen them the night before they left. Because I was at the office. Me and [unclear] was at the office. We used to sit up and talk with them all the time. And you know, James told me one thing, before he left. He said, it’s not going to be like this always. One of these days, when it gets like this, I want you to tell this story. And, you know, we got to keep this freedom going. We got to make it possible so that everybody, not only the black, but for whites, too. Because they had an imbalance the same way we did. You see, with the whites, it was different, but for us, you just didn’t want to experience that. (16:20) SS: Well, it’s funny now because back then, the KKK did not want to be known. I mean, they didn’t want people to know who they were. Now, they publicize it. CG: That’s right. You see, but it’s different now. You see, back then, everything was hidden. You see, everything was underwraps. But that was a scary thing. I remember when they used to bring us home all the time. Medgar Evers, all of them, they’d make sure we got home safe. But, honey, when my mama found out that they had gotten killed, she was like, uh uh, you can leave Mississippi! She send we can send you, you know, up north. ‘Cause I don’t want you to be around and come up missing like the rest of them. And they were steady getting ‘em. (17:20) CC: Carolyn, did you graduate from high school? CG: Yes, I did. CC: And where was that? CG: Jackson, Mississippi. CC: In Jackson, Mississippi. CG: I remember that day. June, the 12th. 1966. CC: 1966. (clarifies) (17:46) CC: I get a little mixed up here in numbers. CG: Now, honey, you get a little old. You forget your math then. (laughter) CC: Carolyn, you were still in Jackson, Mississippi, then, in 1966? CG: Yes, I was. �CC: How did you get involved in the service? CG: My father was in the military. And I had a boyfriend that went to Vietnam. And when he went, he didn’t come back. (18:17) CC: Oh, my. CG: And he was from Muskegon, Michigan. And his name was Anderson Tucker, junior. And I used to write him all the time but I never did hear from him, so that’s how I knew. So, mostly, when I was going to Jackson State, and I met a lot of guys that had came home from Vietnam. And, hon, I had three friends and all of us were meeting, and we talk with them and play guitar with them, and I think one of them kind of liked me. But, anyway, all of us used to hang together. And every time, we’d go to the liquor store about ten o’clock and pick up a bottle of wine. And like, they had just came from ‘Nam, they had been through a lot. They talked to me about it. They talked about what they had been through. And that’s when I decided to go. (19:21) CC: So that’s when you decided to go. Where did you join the service at? CG: In Jackson, Mississippi. CC: In Jackson, Mississippi. And what did you join? CG: United States Army. CC: You joined the Army. And tell us about your first day of induction into the Army. CG: Um ummm ummm. (shakes head) You see my hand here? (Holds up hand.) When you take that oath? It’s like you gave your whole life away. CC: Yes, you do. (19:57) CG: And that’s scary. And then they tell you “You are now in the United States Army.” And I said, do you get a chance to go home? (laughs) SS: You belong to us, now. CG: I said, do I get a chance to go home? They said, yes, but pack your bags. But you don’t have nothing to pack, just your [unclear]. I’m thinking that we gonna shop, go on a shopping spree. (laughs) SS: Didn’t work out that way, did it? �CG: (still laughing) Uh uh. [unclear] I’m thinking, we fittin to go on a shopping trip. I’m going to South Carolina, right? I’m thinking they gonna give me some money so I can go on a shopping trip for clothes. I ain’t wearing nothing down there (points), from some basement shop. And they give me all these green clothes. The fatigues and everything. And they give me the backpack, and I say, what am I gonna do with this? They say you gonna take this, and I say, no I ain’t. They said, that’s your lifeline. I said that ain’t my lifeline, I ain’t taking that. (21:17) CG: And then talking about the canteen. I said, what’s that for? To cook in. [unclear, laughing]. SS: Now how old was you at that time? CG: Oh, twenty-two. I said, we ain’t cooking in that. We better give me a pot so I can cook some greens. (laughs) But we had to take that around with us in that backpack. I said, I am not carrying this thing on my shoulders. Is you crazy. The men’s can carry it. They said, you got to carrying it too. I said, what do you mean, we got to take it too? At the time, we couldn’t say nothing then. But afterwards, we gave him a long talk about that backpack. (22:02) CC: Carolyn, where did you go for your basic training? CG: Fort Jackson, South Carolina. CC: So you stayed right in South Carolina, didn’t you? CG: Yes, I did. [unclear] (22:24) CC: Carolyn, let me ask you, when you joined the service, was it still segregated? CG: Umm, yeah. CC: Little bit. CG: That’s the problem we had at Fort [unclear], Alabama. ‘Cause, like I went to college, and a lot of other girls went to college. But more of the whites, you know, were getting promoted before we did. And I went to college and I still didn’t get promoted. Like I was supposed to. CC: So you went to college when you was in the service? CG: Um hmmm. CC: Okay. And so you were inducted in South Carolina… �CG: Hon, listen to how this sounds. I was inducted in South Carolina. I’m from Jackson, Mississippi. I was going to school in Jackson, Mississippi. (looks to other interviewer) We gotta change him. You gotta go. (laughter) But, anyway, I got inducted in Jackson, Mississippi. I went to Fort Jackson, South Carolina, for basic training. CC: For basic training. SS: Did you train with other blacks? (23:52) CG: Oh, yeah. It was mixed. SS: Oh, it was? In the training? CG: It was mixed. They were just beginning…that was the beginning of the mixing. Because before I left, you know, school had just gotten integrated. But like, it was mixing up things. CC: So tell us, as you started your basic training, what was your impression of the place that you was at? CG: Oh, I liked it, for one thing. Only thing I didn’t like about it, remember I was telling you (points to SS), the men’s would tell you to fall out in one type of clothes and the females would come down and you had to go back upstairs and change. Honey, you were a nervous wreck before the day was over with. Then you know why I am like I am. (24:50) CC: Tell me a typical day as you started out in your basic training. CG: On a typical day, we’d go to the mess hall to eat. CC: Right after you got up. What time did you get up? CG: Were you in the service? CC: No. CG: Oh, so he’s a civilian. Okay, that’s why all this talk going on. Okay, but anyway. We had to get up about five in the morning. Really we got up at four in the morning. So we could be up to fall out. We had to go to the mess hall to eat, and then when we left the mess hall, we’d come back and do what we had to do that day. We would like run in the fields, or you know, doing your basic whatever we had to do that day. But then it was crazy about it. The men drill sergeant tell you to fall out with one type of clothes. Then here come the female. That was crazy. And after we did all that, and then you here the guys coming down the street. And they were singing their song, honey. (26:01) �CG: And they let us stay out there long enough to see all that. I enjoyed that. All of us enjoyed that. SS: Describe your female drill sergeant. CG: Drill sergeant [Carrocha]. She was six foot ten. She was like a football player. And she had a bellowing mouth. She hollered. When she hollered (illustrates jumping to attention), you did one of them. And, like, she was nice though. But don’t mess up. CC: Don’t mess up, huh. CG: Put it like this. Don’t mess up. Period. But she pretty nice. But you mess up, you need to be on the ground doing fifty push-ups already, ‘cause when she get to you, you know, that’s what you going to wind up doing. (27:12) CC: So after basic training, where did you go? CG: Fort Rucker, Alabama. CC: Okay. And what did you do there? CG: Okay. I was like in personnel. It better gave…they gave you a number…Now we had to go to AIT first. ‘Cause we had to learn how to type, you know. Learn about the different materials you had to do. CC: What does AIT mean? CG: That’s a school. And like you learn… you know, I’m gonna have to get rid of him. He don’t know nothing. (turns to SS) You done been around all these vets, you don’t know nothing. Period. What do AIT mean? Do I look like I feel like telling you what AIT means? (28:08) CC: Well, Carolyn, your great grandchildren are going to listen to that and they may not know what… CG: Honey, my great grandchildren, they going to be up there. You know, outer space. They probably be up there before I do. But anyway, that’s AIT, it’s like school. CC: Sure. CG: And like, they teach you how to type. And like, when you there, you learn how to do your paperwork and everything. CC: So when you went to AIT, did you learn to use computers as well? �CG: No, honey, we didn’t have no computers. This is in, think about it, in the sixties, early seventies, now. They didn’t have no computers. CC: Didn’t have computers yet in the service. CG: If they did, we didn’t know nothing about it. ‘Cause you know how Uncle Sam is. (29:10) CC: So you learned to be a typist and to work in the office. And what did you do then? CG: Type. I was the one that made your dog tags, your ID, take your picture for your ID. You know. That’s what I was doing. CC: Did you do that all the time you was in the service? CG: Umm hummm. SS: Did you get any furloughs? CG: Oh, we had furloughs. On the weekend, we had furloughs. CC: And what did you do? CG: I went back to Jackson, Mississippi and partied my buns. ‘Cause I had some friends who had been in the service and they the ones who had suggested me going into the service. ‘Cause it would be beneficial to me, cause I had just had a baby. And they used to write me. So when I come home, they would come get me. So most all of them, they were veterans. SS: Now you had your little girl before you went in service? CG: Yes, I did. (30:08) CC: Okay. So you had a little daughter, then? Okay. What’s her name? CG: Tracy. CC: Tracy. So what’s Tracy doing now? CG: Oh, she work at the VA down south. Jackson, Mississippi. And her father went in too. He was trying to stop me from going into the service. He wound up going. ‘Cause I told him, what you going…he was going to Jackson State. I said, what you plan on doing. He said, well, I’m gonna be a photographer. I said, you know what, that’s why I‘m going in the service. Because we got a daughter. And he wound up going in. that was good, because considering that, he five years later, he had a by-pass, and like, he don’t have to work no more if he don’t want to. Uncle Sam is paying him. He is so glad now. �CC: That he went into the service? (31:06) CG: umm hummm. CC: Is he still alive? CG: (laughs) What I’m going to do with you? He is still alive and kicking. [unclear] kick too much. But anyway, all my cousins started going in. So everybody alive is much better now, for going in. I was the first one in the family, to go. CC: Carolyn, how long were you in the service? CG: Almost two years. CC: Almost two years. After you was out of the service, what did you do? CG: Went back to school, Jackson State. I taught for a minute. But basically, what I wanted to tell you about when I was at Fort Rucker… CC: Sure. (31:55) CG: I want to tell you about the guys that was coming home. From Vietnam. That would really piss me off, because like, I was stationed at an Aviation plant, I mean base. And they had a lot of challenge coming over there, taking the train[ing?] Helicopter train. And that was an upset. To all the guys, because you didn’t have no flights going in taking blacks off the train. You might have one in a thousand, so…one black might graduate… SS: So, you mean, they didn’t want blacks… CG: Hon, let me tell you. I’m sorry, but let me tell you something. Fort Rucker, Alabama. It’s pure redneck territory. I mean, like, everybody down there, a redneck. I mean, they were prejudiced. I mean, you go to the gate. You better go with a group of more people. When you go into town, you don’t go by yourself. But anyway, like I said, it was redneck country. Alabama. (33:19) CG: So, like, it was prejudice. Lot of prejudice. CC: I bet there was. SS: Did you ever run into a lot of prejudice with your fellow soldiers? �CG: Ummm, not too much. Because we really didn’t hang. Because they pretty much help us with where to go and where not to go. So we pretty much didn’t hang. But what we’d do, somebody’d have a trailer in the trailer park over there. Mostly we hung on the grounds. On the post grounds. We didn’t go too much anywhere. ‘Cause the party was on post. We’d go to the park, where they had a lake where you could race a speedboat. I used to love doing that. Or you’d be at the barracks, too. Well, you know how I am. Everybody would hang with us. And so we didn’t go too many places. (34:28) CC: Carolyn, as the fellows at your base was coming back from Vietnam, what was their thoughts about that? CG: It was crazy. CC: Crazy. CG: It was crazy. ‘Cause, like, I had one Vietnamese, we had got pretty close, pretty good friends. And like, honey, those guys would jump up and down. You did not talk to them, period. That was the atmosphere. It was like, you know, you don’t talk to them. They didn’t want a black woman around them, period. It was like prejudice. Cause these guys were just getting back home, and I couldn’t blame them, but I’m like this. I’m in a strange territory and I’m seeing all these rednecks running around, so I’m like what’s going on. SS: So this Vietnamese that you was talking to, were they born in the United States? CG: (shakes head no) I come to find out, they was over there for helicopter training. SS/CC: Okay. (35:53) CG: That’s something I’m trying to tell, y’all. They were bringing them over here for helicopter training. And this was at a time when nobody knows what was going on then. And that’s when I got up out of there, cause something ain’t right. ‘Cause you look, you know, here are all these guys going for helicopter training and you think, what the hell they doing over here? You know. I mean, we’re supposed to be fighting them, right? What are they doing over here? So I just said, forget this. I’m getting up out of here. And, honey, I went back home. (36:38) CC: Carolyn, after your two years of service, and you went back to college, is that right? CG: Ummm hmmm. CC: What did you study? �CG: History. But the main thing I want to tell you about, I worked with the Vietnam vets organization back then, when they first getting heard. They were having a lot of problems. Iw orked with them in Detroit and in Jackson, Mississippi. CC: Okay. And what did you do with them? CG: We did a lot of speaking. CC: Did a lot of talking, a lot of speeches and so on? And you did those, too? CG: (nods head affirmatively) CC: Okay. I’m trying to get at what you did as far as interviews and such, after you got out of the service. CG: I went back to school. CC: You went back to school. But after that… CG: Let me tell you. Listen. I’m a veteran, right? I’m not serious, right? Honey, anybody that got out of the service, they went to school. There weren’t no jobs. No jobs. What you did is you went to school. You got paid, at least four something a month. Every first of the month, you got four something a month check coming in the mail. (38:00) SS: How did you get involved with tv? CG: Oh, well, I’m into art anyway. Like my boyfriend, my daughter’s father, he mess around with photography. And so he had a cam corder, and most of my friends, we all go to Jackson State and most of them went on to the [department] and everything. That’s it. SS: Did you go on and become professional at it? Get paid for it? CG: Well, now, I worked for Capital Cable. And I went to class to get my producer’s license. That’s what I did. I enjoyed it, working with the computer, putting the edits in the films. And, I like when you get the letterings together. That’s the part I liked. SS: What job did you get that paid you? Made a living off of? CG: I didn’t get no job. SS: Oh, you didn’t. What did you do? CG: I got married. SS: That’s a job. (laughs) �CG: You got that right. I got married. (39:29) CC: So tell us how, where did you get married? CG: In Jackson. He was a veteran too. He had just came from Vietnam. And he went back in the Navy. CC: He went in the Navy? CG: He left the Army and went back in. You know, he changed. CC: Went from the Army to the Navy? CG: And he was stationed in the Great Lakes. CC: So as you got married and your husband went into the Navy, then what did you do? CG: Hon, I know one thing. He didn’t want me in no Army. He wanted me home. So that when he called, I was staying with Mama, when he called home, I was home. He did not want me in no Army. (40:15) CC: So did you have any children with this husband? CG: Yes. We got a son. CC: A son. And what’s your son’s name? CG: Robert. CC: Is Robert still alive? CG: He better be. (laughter) The last time I talked to him, he was alive. CC: Okay. Where does Robert live? CG: He’s in down south. CC: Does he ever come see you? CG: Oh, hon, this is a child that they got their own life now. And I has always told him, I want you all to go on and live your life. Don’t feel like you got to be under me all the time. Uncle Sam got me. The VA got me. So, they, we call and talk but we don’t stay on each other. �(41:11) SS: So where’s your husband at now? CG: Oh, honey, he didn’t get any work. [unclear] months pregnant. SS: Are you divorced? CG: Yeah. Another lady about twenty months pregnant. SS: So when did you come here? CG: Oh, I came here…my sister-in-law got me here. ‘Cause I was in Muskegon, ‘cause I had got remarried. I’m fitting to divorce his butt. I don’t want any more conversation on that. Case closed. CC: Case closed. Okay, Carolyn. Well, it’s kinda been fun talking to you, Carolyn. And we’ll bring you a copy of this interview. CG: I sure do want a copy.

For this process to be effective, needs and desires of the people. This is it must reflect the It should interpret realistically the existing trends and conditions, and the dynamic economic and social pressures for change. In addition, public the plan must inspire approval and cooperation among agencies and citizens with the objectives set forth. the various of the City so that they can work in conformity The objectives of this planning process, and more specifically of the Greenville Master Plan, are to provide: 1. A comprehensive means of integrating proposals that look 15-20 years ahead to meet the future development needs of the City. 2. An official, efficient but advisory, uses industrial areas; Cll/am policy statement for of land for residences, encouraging business, parks, orderly recreation and and for coordinating these uses between each 1 and other, and �with other ~ecessary public facilities and services. 3.

A means for private organizations and individuals to determine how they may relate to the development activity and to the official city planning policies. 5. A means for relating the City of Greenville's plans to the plans of adjacent townships and to the dev,elopment of the region as a whole. The Greenville Master Plan will accomplish this assessing the community's characteristics. community's demographics, it's economy, transportation network, inventory and assessment, and planning studies and reports. steps.

The community is nestled in a gently rolling active agricultural area; adjacent to the Flat River State Game area. The Flat River divides the City, and three small lakes located on the southwestern side provide a unique recreational and natural resource for the community. POPULATION AND ECONOMY The City has seen moderate growth over the past several decades, although it has not been at the pace of the surrounding areas in the County.

As Greenville; represent such, they represent the values and desires of the citizens of values which must be reflected in the plan in order for it to truly the people. values or desires, While goals are intended to be general statements of objectives are more specific as to timing, quality, and quantity. The Planning Commission, as appointed representatives of the community, has developed these planning goals and objectives for guiding future growth the City. It is in felt these goals will provide a strategy to improve the City' living environment by taking full advantage of the area's assets. LAND USE GOALS: * Maintain the character of Greenville as a low rise, low density residential community. * Develop the most desirable and economical pattern of land utilization in order to allow for the economic provision of community facilities. * Designate and reserve industrial sites in locations which provide room for expansion, accessibility, and protection from encroachment by other land uses. * Designate and reserve land for future retail centers which will provide adequate off-street parking, convenient access, facilities. Cll/am 28 and attractive shopping �* Improve public recreation facilities and opportunities. * Encourage buffer strip development to separate conflicting uses. Land Use Objectives Review and update the Zoning Ordinance to conform with the objectives of this Master Plan by 1989, and review and update every 3-5 years thereafter. Review and update the subdivision control procedures to conform with the objectives of this Master Plan by 1989 and review and update every 3-5 years thereafter. Implement downtown development plans calling for streetscape and parking area beautification and renovation of commercial properties by 1990. HOUSING GOALS * Ensure a safe and adequate supply of single and multiple family housing units, corresponding to demand and income levels and in ~onjunction with a policy of coordinated street and utility extensions and improvements. * Encourage residential development based on the neighborhood concept which provides that residential neighborhoods shall be designated and located such that safe and convenient access is provided to nearby churches, schools, parks, shopping areas, and other community facilities. * Promote the location of future housing units in such a way that economical public sewer and water can be provided along with other private and public utilities. * Promote low density residential development. Cll/am ......__ 29 �Housing Objectives: Rigorously enforce building, housing and fire/safety codes to bring all non-conforming residences up to housing code standards within 10 years. Permit through a special use process the adaptive reuse of larger/older homes in a manner which is consistent with the neighborhood pattern by allowing office use sides in the area between the river and Washington, of Bardy and Franklin; and from the river to East Oak, both to include both sides of Clay, Webster and Smith -all providing conforming off-street parking. Revise residential density and unit size requirements ordinance to coincide with in the zoning the low density goals of the Planning Commission. TRANSPORTATION GOALS: * Promote a transportation system which will facilitate the movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic in a safe, convenient, and economical manner. This includes paved streets, sidewalks, and curb and gutter on all City streets. * Institute a policy of limited exit and entrance points on major thoroughfares. Iransportation Objectives: -- With respect to truck routing, undertake the following activities: 30 �1) Pursue discussions . with (MOOT) and entire area the Michigan Department of Transportation Eureka Township to develop permanent truck routes in the including, if necessary the VanDeinse to Charles connector. 2) Recommend ordinances empowering local law enforcement personnel to ticket violators of truck route network ultimately developed. Install the following traffic improvements by 1989 to accomodate current truck traffic until a permanent truck route system is developed with MOOT and Eureka Township 1) Widen Charles Street at Lafayette and increase the turning radius on the northwest quadrant of that intersection to provide proper westbound truck turning room. 2) Install wider turning radius on the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Lafayette and Washington to provide proper west bound truck turning room. It should be noted that although this intersection should from the truck route be removed improvements are system, the intersection badly needed by local truck traffic and passenger vehicles. 3) Install wider turning radius on the southeast intersection at Lafayette and Fairplains to provide quadrant of the proper eastbound truck turning room. 4) Install wider turning radius on the southeast quadrant of the intersec- 31 �tion of Lafayette and VanDeinse to provide proper eastbound truck turning room. 5) Widen VanDeinse at Walnut to provide proper turning room for westbound truck traffic, of that install wider turning radius on the southwest quadrant intersection to bound trucks, provide proper truck turning room for south and widen the southeast quadrant of that intersection to provide proper turning room for trucks bound for the industrial park. COMMUNITY FACILITIES GOALS: * Acquire and develop land for a system of parks and recreation facilities, strategically located so that all areas and age groups are served. * Provide public sewer and water services, adequate in quantity, to meet present and anticipated future demands for fire protection and household, business and industrial use. Community Facilities Objectives: Implementation of the City Capital Improvements Program as approved by the City Council. Implement the Recreation Plan Improvements with priority given to completing improvements to serve the Greenville West Development, and the expansion of Veterans and Pearl Street parks by 1993. Cll/am 32 �GOVERNMENTAL GOAL * Encourage the continuing communication and cooperation with surrounding communities with respect to solving mutual problems and opportunities. Governmental Objectives: The Planning Commission will meet regularly with planning bodies in Eureka Township and Montcalm County to discuss areas of mutual concern. Support the efforts of. the DOA, TIFA, and EDC to attract at least one non- durable/light industrial facility annually using PA 198 of 1974, PA 450 of 1980, PA 197 of 1975, and other incentives as appropriate. CONTINUED PLANNING GOAL * Implement a program of periodic review and amendment of the Master Plan and amendments as necessary to ensure adequate control and direction over future growth while maintaining a progressive and subdivision regulation, up-to-date zoning ordinance, capital improvements program, and other studies or ordinances as required by changing conditions and trends. Continued Planning Objective: Annually prepare a report which highlights assessing the City's efforts at implementing this plan, Master Plan as necessary. Cll/am previous year's 33 activities, and updating the �The Planning Commission will meet periodically with such organizations as the DOA, TIFA, Board Chamber of Commerce, of Education, Downtown Retailers Association, and the City Council. The purpose of these meetings will be to keep the Planning Commission informed on community needs and opportunities.

In area older homes may be converted to office uses or multi-family uses provided off street parking and signage requirements are observed. A major transportation consideration is alternative interim and permanent routes through the City. The recommendations of the Planning Commission are set forth in the Transportation Objectives in the preceeding section. Cll/am truck 35 �FUTURE LAND USES Future land uses are identified on Map 5 of this Greenville Master Plan. A more specific description is outlined below. Industrial. The areas designated are planned and zoned for industrial growth. Types of uses envisioned for these areas include so-called clean manufacturing and fabrication, assembly, packaging, printing, reproduction, transportation, storage and warehousing types of industrial uses. With the expansion of the multi-family areas, a market for mini-storage areas may be created and should be included as an industrial use. New industrial development and reuse of existing promoted. Although lacking a convenient Greenville has much to offer new industry. the City's vacant facilities should be Interstate Highway connection, The business retention efforts of economic development staff and the Chamber of Commerce should take full advantage of the available industrial land. To the extent these efforts to retain and expand the industrial base are successful, the diversity and health of the local economy will be enhanced. Commercial. Commercial areas illustrated on the Plan map reflect the where long-term commercial growth is encouraged. they exist today - planned and zoned. locations The bulk of these areas are as Expansion potential exists within these areas and the Planning Commission and the Downtown Development Authority should continue to coordinate plans and ideas for the enhancement of Greenville business downtown and in neighborhoods and strip commercial developments. Cll/am 36 �The strength of the downtown commercial base is vitally important to the overall health of the community. For greatest impact, the retail core should remain concentrated and significant retail expansion should not be encouraged stronger downtown emerges. However, developments must not be ignored as might a existing neighborhood and strip commercial these provide convenience otherwise leave the area but for their existence. to beautify the downtown area, until shopping that The efforts of the ODA improve it convenience and fill vacant stores should be supported. Office. The The office areas designated on the Plan map reflect a two-fold purpose. first is to provide a land use separating high and low intensity uses of land and the second is an opportunity to convert large, older single family dwellings into a reasonable use without altering the architectural character of the area. Such uses would include professional offices (i.e., CPA), design that the studios, and other similar low traffic uses.

The demand for good quality single family housing appears to be strong and the City could encourage development by participating in some of the pre-development costs of a constructively phased development. The City's Zoning Ordinance provides for minimum unit sizes that could in severely undersized units in high density projects. result This is a reflection of prior development and zoning dec,sions that are no longer feasible or desirable in the local market place. The Zoning ordinance should be revised to remove or amend these obsolete provisions . In the area of converting older single family houses to multi-family units, the Zoning ordinance should be amended to provide for such as a special use. Such conversions can dramatically change the character of older neighborhoods if not properly supervised and controlled. Minimum unit sizes must be be provided. conversions Off street, rear or side yard parking must increased to prevent abusive resulting in as many as six or eight small apartments in one large older building. Street System. The street system incorporated into the Master Plan is designed to facilitate the movement of through and local traffic in a safe, and economical manner. Major streets include M-57 (Lafayette), Baldwin, Hillcrest, Charles, VanDeinse, Walnut. convenient (Washington), Fairplains, Marvel, and A Charles-VanDeinse Connector has been suggested to improve traffic flow. A permanent truck route is to be established by the City, MOOT, and Eureka Township. Cll/am M-91 38 �IMPLEMENTATION There are a variety of different ways to assist in making this plan The Goals a reality. and Objectives provide a framework for making decisions. that process, To aid in several traditional and less traditional resources are available. This final section of the Plan, will briefly review some of these tools. Regulatory Actions: * Zoning Ordinance Review and Revision this is critical to ensure that the Zoning Ordinance is consistant with this land use plan. * Subdivision Control Procedures - similarly, this should be reviewed to ensure that future developments are consistent with modern principles of land use planning. * Capital Improvements Planning - this is a six year program which prioritizes major capital improvement projects and will assist in focusing specific direction in implementing this Master Plan. * Building and Safety Code Enforcement - this ensures that the current housing and building stock is maintained in a stable condition and minimizes deterioration. * Planning Commission Authority and Map Improvements Act - these public acts provide the authority to review projects before they are implemented to ensure that they are consistent with this plan. Public Facilities and Resources: * General Obligation Bonds - for major public improvements. * General Revenue Bonds - through the City, the Economic Development Corporation Cll/am 40 �and Downtown Development Authority or Special Assessments Districts providing financing for municipal projects. * Tax Increment Financing - by using the Downtown Development Authority or Tax Increment Finance Authority to capture growth in tax revenues. * Industrial Tax Abatements - under Act 198, Public Acts 1974, which will provide incentives for a new industry or rehabilitating existing industry. * Michigan Municipal Bond Authority will purchase small municipal bond issues resulting in lower overall borrowing costs. State and Federal Resources: * Small Cities Community Development Block Grant Program and UDAG - these programs provide discretionary grants and loans for economic development and planning projects. * Land and Water Conservation Fund/Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund - for providing recreational facilities. * Michigan Outstate Equity Fund/Michigan Council of Arts Grants - which provides resources for cultural and art projects. * Historic Designation - this can provide technical assistance and rehabilitation tax credits. * Michigan Strategic Fund - to provide assistance, technical information, and bonding authority. Private Initiatives: * Joint Ventures and Private Sector Syndications - To promote public projects by using private sector capital. * Private Purchase and Lease Back - Again, Cll/am 41 using private resources to finance �and lease-back public facilities. * Private Foundation and Local Business Donations - efforts should be made to ' encourage local participation from private busi~ess within the c{ty and from foundations within the community and outside the area. Coordination Public participation and coordination with other organizations critical in ensuring that the planning process works. also The Planning Commission should encourage a maximum amount of participation planning organizations, is municipal and county agencies, and work with other as well as state ' officials. This effort would provide a useful interests. As indicated previously, the Planning periodically meet with -like planning bodies County. exchange of ideas Commission in Eureka Twp.

In this connection, it must be remembered that the Planning Commission is not charged with the responsibility of developing specific expertise in all areas of local development. Rather, it is intended to serve a coordinative and advisory role to a number of public and quasi-public authorities and agencies. In this capacity, the Planning Commission can serve the important function of Cll/am 42 �information clearing house while, simultaneously, supervising the general direction of growth and development in the community. As a final mechanism to making this plan work, and updated regularly. On an annual basis, it must be reviewed, assessed, the Planning Commission should consciously consider what has been done to achieve the goals and objectives of this plan, and what has changed in the community to necessitate changes in the plan. This is the most important part of the planning process for if the plan is not reviewed, reconsidered, or adjusted, it will only have momentary value. It is the planner's responsibility to ensure that this plan becomes a living document. advocate Therefore, role in it is critical that the Planning reviewing, administering planning process.

could hear when someone was hit � Threw a few German Concussion Grenades if they weren’t sure someone was coming; these grenades had varying fuses The next morning, had a BAR Team (Browning Automatic Rifle) stationed at the two sliding door entrances; pulled those men out from that level for a break (00:08:02) The Germans blew those doors out; thankfully no one was hurt His Squad leader, whom had a German background (Schwarz), attempted to use a porthole to fire a machine gun Germans fired and a piece of shrapnel hit Groggel’s Sergeant’s cheek The Groggel’s men thought they would surrender On the way up (from Moselle River), had lost their Platoon Leader, who was from D-day  The Platoon Leader had been injured, but not too badly;

couldn’t see them because of the fog  Had to keep silent to see where they would explode �o At the beginning of the War, the Germans did not have many of these Bombs, it could have made a difference in the War’s turnout Felt overjoyed when coming back home, didn’t really think of how the War affected him (00:37:15) Glad that he didn’t go into the Marines or his other choice of service (gliders?) because he may have never come back home Did not have any serious individual meeting with the Germans; had their zone to protect; very short period of time Very thankful for being able to come back home Lessons (00:38:55) Learned to listen, be on time; think as a whole, not about oneself As an officer, had to be a strong leader When at the Pillbox, sent out some scouts Found out that Groggel’s Division (90th Division) was at the Battle of the Bulge, December 16 Had another older brother in the Navy and a younger brother who was a Paratrooper The fights now are different;

after his parents moved to the suburbs, Groothuis attended Hudsonville Unity Christian, graduating in 1961 (00:01:28:00)  After graduating from high school, Groothuis wanted to get into business because accounting was something that came easily to him and he enjoyed, so he attended Davenport University in Grand Rapids for a few years (00:01:52:00) o After finishing Davenport University, Groothuis took a job working for a wholesale distributor in the northern part of Grand Rapids (00:02:03:00) o At the time, it was only a two-year program to earn a business degree from Davenport; because the war in Vietnam was siphoning off young men, when he finished the program, Groothuis had five job offers (00:02:26:00)  At that time, Groothuis had registered for the draft in Ottawa County, Michigan and had received the classification of 1-A, although the draft was not really that big of a thing at the time (00:02:58:00) o When Groothuis and his girlfriend began talking about marriage, President Kennedy passed a law forbidding the drafting of married men (00:03:09:00)  Groothuis and his girlfriend married, purchased a plot of land between Jenison and Allendale, Michigan with the intention of building a house and someday starting a family; however, the Johnson Administration eventually changed the law regarding the drafting of married men (00:03:20:00) o When the law changed, Groothuis would go to the draft board monthly in Grand Haven, Michigan to check on his status and finally, in October 1966, he walked in and a woman at the board said she thought Groothuis would go the following month (00:03:42:00)  Groothuis went home, told his wife, and a couple of weeks later, the papers finally came (00:04:07:00)  At the time, if a man was in college or was a teacher, then he had a deferment; however, that was for Michigan because Groothuis had friends in other states who did not have the same opportunities to get a deferment (00:04:30:00) �   o In November and December 1966, there was an unusually large amount of men drafted from Ottawa and Kent counties, Groothuis included (00:04:48:00) Groothuis left with a group of around fifty other men who had also received draft notices; the group filled an entire Greyhound bus and left from Grand Haven following a short ceremony, where each man received a Bible with instructions to read it every day (00:05:22:00) o The bus initially took the men to Detroit and from Detroit, the men traveled to Fort Knox, Kentucky (00:05:41:00) The group arrived at Fort Knox in the afternoon and the bus driver told them that they had about thirty seconds of laughter left (00:05:55:00) o The bus stopped at the reception center, where a man jumped aboard and told the men they had five seconds to get off the bus; Groothuis had been around the block a little in his life and he believed that the instructors were just trying to intimidate the men, especially the younger men (00:06:05:00) o The men got off the bus and their life “began anew”; they received their uniforms, shots and took a large number of tests (00:06:26:00) o When he arrived at Fort Knox, Groothuis was over twenty-three years old and after awhile, it became fairly evident that when the NCOs needed something done, they would pick the older, more mature men, such as Groothuis, as opposed to someone just out of high school (00:06:41:00) In high school, Groothuis had not been a athlete but he was still in pretty good shape; he worked on his feet all day during high school and college but once he got a job and began working behind a desk, things changed (00:07:08:00) o When he arrived at Fort Knox, Groothuis was in, at best, medium-shape but that all changed in eight weeks (00:07:29:00) o Because they arrived in November, two of the events that the men had coming up were Thanksgiving and Christmas and Groothuis’ mindset was that the instructors were not going to keep the men at the fort during those holidays, so he anticipated going home at those times (00:07:43:00)  In the meantime, the men ran around the base for their training, as well as qualifying at the rifle range; Groothuis suspects that a lot of the men training with him had been hunters because there were several good shots among the group (00:08:02:00) o By the time the eight weeks of training were complete, Groothuis was in excellent physical shape (00:08:21:00)  The day before Thanksgiving, Groothuis received word that all the men would get three weeks' leave for Christmas, so he called his wife on Thanksgiving day and let her know (00:08:30:00)  Groothuis and his wife had not seen each other since he enlisted, although she could go down to the base if Groothuis had a weekend pass, so he made sure he did everything he could to get a pass (00:08:56:00) o One time, the wife and a friend drove the four hundred miles down to see Groothuis; after Groothuis went through inspections and some other stuff, he spent the rest of the day and Sunday with his wife and her friend (00:09:09:00) �   Once he finished his basic training, Groothuis was supposed to stay at Fort Knox for another eight weeks of training (00:09:46:00) o However, Groothuis and the others did not realize the Army was going to take the top 5 percent of the class and train them to be teletype operators (00:09:53:00)  One morning, Groothuis and about ten other men went up after formation and were told that the following morning, the men were going to get up, get on a bus, and travel to Fort Gordon, Georgia (00:10:04:00) o Groothuis and the others arrived in Georgia around Easter weekend and Groothuis received permission for his wife to move down and that the couple could live offpost, away from the base (00:10:23:00) o While at Fort Gordon, Groothuis received training in the radio teletype skill and during the last two weeks, the men received training in cryptology (00:10:46:00)  At the time, use of the radio was two-fold, either with the voice talking over a microphone or by Morse code using a code key (00:11:09:00)  Groothuis learned about radio teletype at Fort Knox but at Fort Gordon, he and the others learned how to set up large systems to send messages back and forth (00:11:04:00)  At the time, there was a gray box and the men had to set different buttons to the code of the day; this was the second part of the training at Fort Gordon and Groothuis sworn an oath of secrecy about the box and received top-secret clearance (00:11:39:00) Groothuis spent another six or seven weeks at Fort Gordon before graduating and receiving orders to report to Fort Huachuca, Arizona, which was in the middle of nowhere; the Fort’s remoteness acted as a deterrent against running away, because a soldier could either only go to Mexico or be in the desert (00:12:06:00) o Groothuis’ wife followed him from Fort Gordon to Fort Huachuca, driving with a friend of hers; the couple got another house off-post and while Groothuis would go onto the base, his wife got a job working at a local bank (00:12:36:00) o Fort Huachuca was Groothuis's first permanent duty station, although a lot of the work involved guard duty and working on equipment; Groothuis did not consider the work constructive but it was meant to hone his and the other soldiers’ skills (00:13:21:00)  Most of the other soldiers lived in barracks but the married men lived in a town outside the base (00:13:40:00) One morning, the soldiers had their usually formation, although this time, the brigade, battalion, and company commanders were there and the men were told that the unit had received orders to go to Southeast-Asia (00:14:08:00) o By this time, Groothuis’ wife was pregnant, which they were both happy about, but when Groothuis received the deployment orders, he was able to get a couple of days leave before Christmas to take her home; the day after Christmas, all Groothuis’ relatives were at the airport to wish him farewell (00:14:32:00)  When Groothuis and his wife arrived in Arizona, they became acquainted with a small church there that was similar in culture to the churches in west Michigan, so when Groothuis returned to Arizona, a man and his wife from the Church was waiting to pick him up (00:15:08:00) � When the man dropped Groothuis back at the base, the man told Groothuis two things: first, he told Groothuis to write home and take a lot of pictures and second, he told Groothuis to stay strong in his faith (00:15:36:00) o Groothuis was unable to call his wife because the Army cut off all outside communication and a couple of days later, the unit left the base very early in the morning (00:15:55:00) Deployment (00:16:03:00)  From Fort Huachuca, Groothuis’ unit flew to Tucson and from Tucson, they flew to Long Beach, California (00:16:03:00) o The entire unit was deploying at the same time, which was nice because Groothuis knew all the men and their spouses knew each other (00:16:09:00) o Once in Long Beach, the unit boarded a boat named the U.S.S. Upshire, a troop transport (00:16:27:00)  Bunks aboard the ship were stacked up six high and Groothuis happened to be second from the bottom, which was nice; each man hung all his gear from his individual bunk (00:16:54:00)  It took a couple of weeks but the ship eventually arrived at the island of Okinawa, where it stopped briefly but the men were not allowed to get off (00:17:11:00)  When the ship left Okinawa, it got steadily warmer, so the men would sit on the deck of their ship in either their t-shirts or shirtless, soaking up the sun; Groothuis himself was writing home every day to occupy his time, as well as playing poker and making new friends (00:17:18:00)  Apart from Groothuis’ unit, there was also a company of Marines and a company of engineers (00:17:32:00) o One morning, the men were on the deck of the ship and they felt it turning and changing course; looking over, the men saw a destroyer escort for the ship, which indicated that they were getting closer to Vietnam (00:17:42:00)  The unit ended up debarking from the ship at a port named Qui Nhon, which was a coastal city (00:18:04:00) o From Qui Nhon, the unit convoyed with live ammunition through the mountains to the city of An Khe (00:18:10:00)  Before arriving in country, Groothuis learned that there were a lot of skirmishes as opposed to large battles along front lines (00:18:33:00) o According to Groothuis’ own recollection, the United States was in Vietnam in order to gain a military victory to oppose the domino theory, which held that if Vietnam fell, then other countries would follow and the United States would lose power in Southeast Asia (00:19:01:00)  One of Groothuis’ friends in the unit was a man from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and during the convoy to An Khe, the man’s vehicle stopped (00:20:10:00) o The rule in a convoy was not to stop to assist any broken-down vehicles and Groothuis will never forget the look on the man’s face as he sat in his truck with mountains on either side with only one another soldier (00:20:18:00) o The convoy kept going, although a wrecker eventually came, picked the vehicle and the two soldiers up, and brought them to An Khe as well (00:20:34:00) �  When Groothuis’ unit arrived at An Khe, there was a brigade from the 82nd Airborne; the 82nd, along with the 101st Airborne, were tough and would do the lion's share [not a view shared by men in other units] of the fighting, a dynamic that changed during the Tet Offensive (00:20:48:00) o Once the soldiers arrived at An Khe, they received a meal of steak, as much as they could eat, which was a far cry from the food they had been eating on the ship, which, although nutritious, was not very good (00:21:04:00) o Groothuis’ unit arrived at An Khe in January 1968, at the very beginnings of the Tet Offensive; the soldiers' first night in An Khe, they came under an enemy rocket barrage (00:21:19:00)  During that first attack, all the men tried to get their clothes on before heading to the bunker; later, the men learned to just grab their rifles before going to the bunker (00:21:44:00) o For the first two weeks they were at An Khe, the men understood that their mission was to support the 1st Air Cavalry Division with communications between them and the 101st Airborne and the Marines (00:22:01:00)  However, after two weeks, the 1st Air Cav. and the 101st Airborne moved north and Groothuis’ unit followed behind (00:22:16:00) When the unit moved north, they did so at night and when the soldiers arrived, they took over a series of barracks, what they called “hooches”, which were nothing more than a roof with screened-in sides and plywood (00:22:32:00) o The Marines already occupying the barracks had to move into tents and there was a lot of tension and fist fights; the men in Groothuis’ unit were told to leave the Marines alone because the Marines had been through some fighting (00:22:42:00) o Shortly after Groothuis’ unit arrived, the battle around Khe Sanh began to intensify (00:22:58:00)  As the fighting increased, news came that President Johnson had ordered the soldiers to dig in and fight, which scared the men because it made them realize the severity of what they were involved in (00:23:07:00) o Once the unit arrived at Phu Bai in the north from An Khe, there was a promotion board for any soldier to go up, so Groothuis and another soldier both received promotions to be Spec-4s; originally, Groothuis’ MOS was as a radio operator but with the promotion, he became a chief radio operator (00:23:32:00)  Groothuis began operating a single radio then moved up to operating an entire radio network (00:24:18:00)  Apart from the other units, the I Corps tactical headquarters was also in Phu Bai and Groothuis lucked out because he eventually received a job at the headquarters working in an air-conditioned office (00:24:25:00)  Every so often, a general would walk into the room where Groothuis’ was working, scaring the daylights out of Groothuis (00:24:53:00) o While in Phu Bai, the soldiers ate okay, although the main menu item, which was the same thing for several weeks because the Army was unable to get supplies to the city, was mutton; to this day, Groothuis’ detests mutton (00:25:13:00)  It reached the point that Groothuis would walk into the mess, smell the mutton and decide to get a burger at the NCOs club instead (00:25:26:00) �   o All the roads in the company area were dirt and the bunkers were already built, although the soldiers had to be careful because there could be either large rats or snakes in the bunkers (00:25:45:00) o Groothuis would walk to his duty station, alternating twelve hours on and twelve hours off, seven days a week (00:26:01:00) While Groothuis would be on duty for twelve hours, every hour, he had to contact the other radios on that particular network, which were scattered throughout other bases and positions in the area (00:26:16:00) o To contact the other radios, Groothuis’ used voice mode, scrambling his voice in a box before sending the message out (00:26:27:00) o A lot of the times at night, the other radio operators would go to sleep and Groothuis would be unable to contact them, something that Groothuis would mark in a log; because he was near a general staff, Groothuis did not dare sleep when he was on duty (00:26:35:00)  Groothuis was friends with another one of the radio operators in the building and they helped keep each other awake (00:26:46:00) On the base, there were not Vietnamese soldiers but there were civilians who took over working in the kitchens (00:26:58:00) o Groothuis and the other soldiers did not have too much of a concern about the Vietnamese civilians being part of the Viet Cong; nevertheless, the soldiers were told to watch out for certain behaviors (00:27:33:00)  One time, Groothuis was sitting on top of a bunker and he saw a Vietnamese counting steps, so he immediately called his orderly room, who called the MPs, who arrested the Vietnamese; the Vietnamese was marking off the distance from the motor pool the Corps headquarters (00:27:43:00)  Groothuis and the other radio operators were kind of sitting ducks because the enemy were either going to attack the airport, which was right across the street, or the signals building, where Groothuis and the other radio operators worked (00:28:07:00)  Groothuis and the other operators experienced a large number of rocket and mortar attacks (00:28:20:00) When attacks did happen, they were often small, with the enemy “walking” the mortars in and “walking” them out; on the other hand, when the rockets came, it seemed like an earthquake (00:28:30:00) o One time, Groothuis and his friend were on duty and the friend needed to go to the bathroom, so Groothuis told him to go and he would monitor both radios; the friend was killed when a rocket attack came in and a softball-sized piece of shrapnel went through him (00:28:45:00)  After the friend had been gone a while, Groothuis asked the commanding officer, a major, what had happened and the major said that the friend had died instantly (00:29:12:00) o Overall, Groothuis believes that the enemy was just lobbing the rounds into the base; the mortars were somewhat accurate but the rockets worked with an “area of accuracy”, which meant that the rockets would land in a large area, but the enemy could not pick a specific target (00:29:48:00) �    o Next to Groothuis’ barracks was a generator trailer and one night, when a mortar attack was happening, a mortar round hit a tarp support on the trailer, causing the round to explode above the soldiers (00:30:15:00)  Groothuis, who had been lying in bed, was hit in the shoulder with shrapnel and a couple other soldiers were wounded as well (00:30:40:00)  The next day, the first sergeant told the injured men they were eligible for Purple Hearts but Groothuis did not really want to accept the medal because he had been wounded while lying in bed (00:30:56:00)  Had the mortar round actually hit the ground, the injuries amongst the soldiers would have been much higher (00:31:16:00) Because he was head of an entire radio network, Groothuis would have to occasionally go by helicopter to check and communicate with the other radio operators, who were often unreliable (00:31:35:00) o During the flights, Groothuis would fly with a general in the general’s helicopter around to the various bases in the area; the flights were during the day, which was fine with Groothuis, who did not want to fly at night (00:31:52:00) o The other radios were operated by whichever unit was stationed at the base, be it Marines, or the 101st Airborne or any other unit (00:32:34:00) During his final week in Vietnam, Groothuis went to his commanding officer (CO) to ask to visit a friend from Grand Rapids who was stationed at a nearby base (00:32:52:00) o The CO gave Groothuis the keys to his jeep, telling Groothuis to only have the jeep back by meal time, so Groothuis drove to the base where the friend was (00:33:20:00) o Groothuis found the friend, who asked how long Groothuis had been in country and when Groothuis said he was going home the following week, the friend began to cry because he had just arrived in Vietnam (00:33:31:00) When flying from base to base, the general’s helicopter would take ground fire from the enemy; however, that particular helicopter was the gunship variant of the Huey, armed with Gatling guns and rockets, so if they took fire, the crew would look for where the fire came from and attack (00:34:17:00) o Groothuis believes that the majority of the ground fire was from rifles as opposed to machine guns (00:34:43:00) o The helicopter would often get hit by the ground fire but never went down because they were never hit in a vital area (00:34:50:00) o Groothuis was more afraid of getting hit by gunfire from the open side door, so he often sat near the center of the helicopter (00:35:06:00) When Groothuis’ unit first arrived in An Khe, their CO fit in well with the company; there were a large number of Latinos in the company, either from Spanish Harlem or Dominican immigrants and the CO spoke Spanish fluently (00:35:24:00) o When the unit moved north, it was split into three parts and Groothuis’ part received a new CO, who happened to be a West Pointer (00:35:50:00)  At different times, the soldiers had to attend various classes, such as history, something they disliked doing; the classes were taught by either the NCO with the lowest seniority or the NCO with what the soldier labeled as the lowest “mentality” (00:36:08:00) �    One time, a friend of Groothuis’ raised his hand in a history class and asked if George Washington was a Democrat or Republican (00:36:36:00)  When the class ended, the West Point CO was waiting for both Groothuis and his friend and the CO warned both men to never pull a joke like that again (00:36:49:00) o Groothuis had good NCOs but because he was a little bit older and more mature than the other soldiers, the NCOs recognized that (00:37:07:00) Groothuis had a hard time obtaining any R&R but when he finally did get some, he received four days to go to Hong Kong (00:37:38:00) o Groothuis did not have a lot of money for the trip, so he wrote to his father, who sent him a hundred dollars; Groothuis also managed to get another hundred dollars in advance pay before he left (00:37:44:00) o Going to Hong Kong was nice and although Groothuis considered getting a tailored suit made because they were extremely cheap, he decided not to because he needed to send home as much money as possible to his wife and child (00:38:04:00) Groothuis also went on convoy duty, which helped him get away from the base, although everyone told him he was crazy because if the convoy was attacked, there was the possibility he could be seriously wounded (00:38:19:00) o With about two weeks to go in his tour, Groothuis was considered a “short timer” but he wanted to get out of the base, so he went up to his CO asking to go on convoy duty; the CO said Groothuis could go but he thought that Groothuis was crazy (00:38:32:00) o Convoys went daily from Phu Bai to Da Nang to pick up supplies and bring them back to Phu Bai (00:38:51:00) o The road from Phu Bai to Da Nang wound through the mountains and along the coast; at one pass in the mountains, the ground along either side kept giving way, so engineers placed a piece of metal with a metal railroad tie along the side of the road (00:38:58:00)  When the convoy went through the pass, Groothuis looked out the side of his truck and saw it was only a couple of inches away from the edge of the railroad tie, beyond which was a thousand foot drop (00:39:20:00) o The convoy eventually made it to Da Nang and began loading supplies, during which Groothuis went to the USO and got a real hamburger and French fries, which he had not have in months (00:39:35:00) o Accompanying the convoy were five-ton flatbed trucks with quad-.50 machine gun turrets mounted on them; if the crews on the guns saw so much as a puff of smoke, they would begin firing and obliterate the area (00:36:50:00) o The road was maintained by a group of engineers who slept in a culver off the side of the road guarded only by a single M-60 machine gun and a bulldozer (00:40:11:00) o Going at that single convoy was enough for Groothuis (00:40:35:00) The USO would occasionally go to Phu Bai in order to put on shows for the soldiers; it was nice to see American girls (00:40:44:00) o The soldiers also got to see the Bob Hope show once, which was nice (00:41:04:00) �     One of the biggest changes that Groothuis noticed was the attitude of incoming replacement soldiers (00:41:42:00) o Back home, Walter Cronkite and the media portrayed the war in a negative light almost every night and demonstrations at colleges and universities began to increase (00:41:50:00) o When Martin Luther King Jr. was shot, the Army played very soft music for three days because there was perceived to be a large amount of racial tension amongst the soldiers (00:42:06:00) o A couple of months later, Robert Kennedy was killed, so a large amount of the information the soldiers received about home was negative (00:42:26:00) o Groothuis believes that the United States went to Vietnam with the intention of getting a military victory but that idea changed in 1968 when Cronkite began calling for the removal of soldiers (00:43:01:00) o Groothuis and the other soldiers noticed the changes on incoming replacements, who were often insubordinate (00:43:20:00) Over the course of his tour, Groothuis’ unit accomplished their job; overall, signal soldiers were usually some of the top members of a class, so that was to be expected (00:43:47:00) When Groothuis’ unit split into three parts in An Khe, one section (Groothuis’) went north the Phu Bai, one stayed in An Khe, and one went to Chu Lai, south of Da Nang (00:44:35:00) o Initially all the soldiers were on the same schedule for going home but over time, individual soldiers would leave; replacements would come in for the departed soldiers but the replacements were often green as grass (00:45:07:00) Although Groothuis’ individual platoon, the radio platoon, was considered the “cream of the crop”, other platoons in the unit, such as the generator platoon or the motor pool, had trouble with rabble-rousers (00:45:52:00) o One time, a first sergeant who had fought in Korea pulled his pistol on an insubordinate soldier and the next day, the sergeant was gone; the older soldiers could not handle the rebelliousness of the incoming soldiers (00:46:10:00) o Instead of confronting the trouble-making soldiers, Groothuis often tried to work with them, pointing out that he did not want to be in Vietnam either (00:47:05:00)  One time, a newly-arrived soldier was pulling guard duty when Groothuis was sergeant of the guard (00:47:16:00)  Both men were on guard duty when another soldier, who was a bit of a wise-ass, began picking up rocks and throwing them in front of the guard post (00:47:25:00)  The new soldier issued the challenge word, the other soldier did not respond, so the new soldier shot him (00:47:54:00)  Both Groothuis and the other soldier were confined while the situation was investigated (00:48:08:00) For Groothuis’ individual company and battalion, the racial climate was very good and it was never a big deal (00:49:26:00) o The biggest issue was during a promotion board when everyone but the lone African-American was promoted, which upset the African-American; however, it was an honest test and the African-American honestly failed it (00:49:37:00) �    o A battalion of Marines eventually moved next to Groothuis’ unit and Groothuis’ first sergeant warned the men that if a Marines cut in line at the PX, then just let it go (00:50:28:00)  It was good advice because the Marines were wound tighter than a drum but after awhile, the tension cooled down (00:50:53:00) o Overall, the racial tension ebbed and flowed (00:51:03:00) Use of illegal and illicit drugs by soldiers was prevalent all over the base (00:51:11:00) o One of the soldiers, instead of getting breakfast after his shift ended, would smoke marijuana in a drain culvert near the barracks (00:51:20:00) o Some of the soldiers would get heroin from nearby villages that was so potent that all the soldiers needed to do was sprinkle the heroin on their cigarettes and smoke it (00:51:34:00) o Because he was a little older, Groothuis was not a victim of drug use; he saved his money and sent it home (00:51:50:00) o In Groothuis’ platoon, he does not believe that the drug use affected their overall performance to any great degree; however, in some of the other platoons, drug use was a detriment (00:52:05:00) Groothuis did not observe much in the way of tension between the soldiers who stayed in the rear area and the soldiers who had to travel to the front lines and the fire bases; however, this was because neither group had much contact with the other (00:52:54:00) o The base at Phu Bai was not an R&R area for front line soldiers to rest at; those bases were further to the north; around Phu Bai were largely more permanent bases, with a large motor pool and the I Corps headquarters (00:53:03:00) Groothuis did not often travel off of the base because he had no reason to travel off the base (00:53:36:00) o One soldier went to a village looking for company and the get a hair cut and after the hair cut, the barber slit the soldier’s throat (00:53:44:00) o There was also a large number of STDs and given his conservative Dutch upbringing in west Michigan, they scared Groothuis (00:53:53:00) o When soldiers did go off the base, it was not for very long because at night, sappers would try to attack the main gate (00:54:10:00)  Once, a couple of soldiers went into town to eat at a restaurant and they came back sicker than dogs (00:54:23:00)  The Americans owned the city by day but at night, the Viet Cong took over control (00:54:33:00) o During one sapper attack, the sappers made it as far as the front gate and were tossing their satchel charges over (00:54:44:00) Towards the end of April, a runner came looking for Groothuis to tell him that a message was waiting for him from the Red Cross; when Groothuis read the message, he found out his son had been born (00:55:32:00) o A couple of times, Groothuis was able to call home using the MARS (Military Associated Radio Stations) system (00:55:50:00)  Once, Groothuis tried to say where he was stationed but a soldier monitoring the call said that Groothuis was not allowed to tell his wife that information (00:56:09:00) �  One time, Groothuis needed to go on sick call because he had an upper respiratory infection, so he received permission to visit a small MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) set up in a tent (00:56:28:00) o When he walked into the tent, Groothuis saw the doctor working on a child that had been run over by an Army truck (00:56:46:00) o The doctor ended up being a Dutchman from Wisconsin and he offered to spend time with Groothuis when he got off-duty, which Groothuis accepted (00:57:41:00) When he first arrived in country, Groothuis was unable to attend church services until he learned the ropes of his job (00:58:33:00) o Although Groothuis did eventually go a couple of times, the services were very unlike the ones back in Michigan; still, they were better than nothing (00:58:57:00) Return / Post-Military Life (00:59:23:00)  Groothuis knew the date he was leaving Vietnam, November 4th, for some time, so on the 4th, he went to the orderly room, where the first sergeant told him to come back the following day (00:59:23:00) o Groothuis went back the next day and the first sergeant told him that he needed to go visit several different people; the CO also offered six thousand dollars tax-free if Groothuis would re-enlist for another six years, but Groothuis respectfully declined, saying he had a family at home he needed to get back to (00:59:35:00) o After processing out, Groothuis flew out the next day on a flight to Da Nang; from Da Nang, he flew to Cam Ranh Bay (01:00:02:00) o In Cam Ranh Bay, Groothuis boarded a plane with soldiers who he had spent his entire time in the military with (01:00:13:00)  From Cam Ranh Bay, Groothuis arrived back at Fort Lewis, Washington; throughout the day, the soldiers processed out, including receiving their final pay and a plane ticket (01:00:32:00)  It got to around eleven o’clock at night and although there was an offer to spend the night at the base, Groothuis and another soldier took a cab to United Airlines, where they learned there was a flight to Chicago leaving in ten minutes (01:00:50:00) o When the flight arrived in Chicago, Groothuis decided to call his wife to let her know he was back in the United States (01:01:18:00) o Once Groothuis arrived at the airport in Grand Rapids, his wife, six-month old son, parents, and in-laws were all waiting for him (01:01:38:00)  When Groothuis arrived in Washington, the animosity towards the servicemen was not that bad yet; if there were any demonstrators, Groothuis did not see them because he and the other soldier ran from the cab to the airport (01:02:09:00)  While he was in Vietnam, Groothuis received a lot of support from back home, including letters from two older ladies who had done the same thing for his father-in-law (01:03:36:00) o As well, he was fortunate to be working for a good employer because when Groothuis received his draft notice, his boss to him that when he returned, his job would be waiting for him (01:04:01:00) �      In the first couple of days that followed his return, individuals kept coming over to Groothuis’ apartment to welcome him home (01:04:17:00) o It took Groothuis about a week to readjust to civilian life, after which he called his old boss, who told Groothuis that they had been waiting for him (01:04:40:00) o Groothuis goofed off for the month of November but when December rolled around, he went back to the same job he had before enlisting (01:04:56:00) By in large, Groothuis did not talk with others about his experiences in Vietnam; one of Groothuis’ customers had also served in Vietnam and the two men made a compact to never talk about their experiences (01:05:15:00) o Within the past five years, Groothuis is able to talk about his experiences without become too emotional (01:05:30:00) When he returned home, Groothuis carried both physical and emotional baggage, including exposure to Agent Orange, which involved contacting the Veterans Administration (VA) (01:06:07:00) When Groothuis arrived in Vietnam, he knew that in one year’s time, he would be going home, which was a nice feeling; on the other hand, soldiers today do not have that sort of luxury (01:08:15:00) Serving in the military was a tempering experience for Groothuis; he was a young Dutch kid raised in the culture of conservative west Michigan and serving in the military wised him up very fast (01:09:04:00) o It was the same experience for Groothuis’ wife, who, while Groothuis was stationed at Fort Gordon, got a job working in a grocery store that had segregated bathrooms, something neither of they could believe still existed (01:09:18:00) o Prior to his time in the military, all of Groothuis’ friends, contacts, and acquaintances came from a very specific culture but serving in the military cause him to have a greater appreciation for his country and made him realize that just because someone came from a different culture does not mean they were a bad person (01:10:05:00) o Groothuis believes that his service strengthened his faith, although it caused him to doubt several times in different situations (01:10:53:00) Presently, Groothuis and his wife work as part of a disaster relief group working out of Grand Rapids (01:11:49:00) o As part of the group, Groothuis and his wife have been to the Gulf region at least a dozen times, to North Carolina, to Washington state, and to California amongst other places (01:12:35:00) o When Groothuis first joined the group, he worked in both Turkey and Kosovo as part of international relief efforts (01:14:13:00) � 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 Groothuis, Larry (Interview outline and video), 2011 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Groothuis, Larry Description An account of the resource Larry Groothuis was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1943. He was drafted into the Army late in 1966. During basic training at Fort Knox, Kentucky, he was selected to go to Fort Gordon, Georgia, for training as a teletype operator, and from there was sent to Fort Huachuca, Arizona, where he served until late in 1967, when his communications company received orders for Vietnam. The unit went by ship, arriving in Vietnam in January, just before the Tet Offensive. His unit initially coordinated communications between the 1st Cavalry Division and other units while based at An Khe, but soon moved north to Phu Bai, and Groothuis was promoted and put in charge of the communications net for all of I Corps. He remained at Phu Bai for the rest of his tour, but made regular trips to other bases by helicopter with his company commander, and also periodically traveled with road convoys simply to get off the base. The base itself was relatively secure, but subject to regular mortar and rocket attacks, one of which killed one of his friends, and periodic sapper attacks.
