Present were Leonard White, Gilbert Hudson, John Paynter, Robert Miller, Margaret Riecker, Gail Bouwman , Miles Jreffe, Betty McGuire, Robert Risselade, Barry Driggers, Harwood Rydholm, Ray Kooi, Fred Corwin, Norman DesJardins, Howard Kalleward, Sophia Gorham, Dorothy Johnson, William White, and Susan Cobb, who recorded. Mr. Leonard White opened the meeting by welcoming new members , Mr. Driggers, Mr. Jaffe, and Mr . Rydholm. Plans for the survey and directory were reviewed. Progress has been delayed for lack of complete data, but publication is expected in early fall. Ms. Gorham, Mr. Hudson, and Mr. Leonard White will meet with Tom Buckman of the Foundation Center in regard to this publication. Computer print-outs were passed around, showing 329 Michigan foundations' assets and grants for either calendar or fiscal 1972. A letter will be sent to these foundations, (only 97 are listed in the 1975 edition of the Foundation Center U1rectory,) including a copy of the Foundation Center print - out, asking them to update the information , and submit a short statement of their purpose , area limits , (if any , ) and application procedures. Ms. Miller suggested adding nonexempt foundations to the Directory. This Directory will serve the Conference of Michigan Foundations in cutting down requests not pertinent to the foundations , and in giving foundations a better relationship with the press and legislators, as well as with grantees. The Survey will include 59 Michigan foundations with assets of $4 million or over and/or grants of $250,000 or over. These 59 foundations will give 90% coverage of all grants in Michigan. Distribution of this dual publication was discussed, and it was the general feeling that all contributors to CMF should receive a free copy, and other copies would be available at $3 to $4. Mrs. Miller suggested including a short paragraph on expenditure responsibility in the survey. Miss McGuire raised the question of the three major foundations contributing the cost of the sruv8 and directory , with no participation by the smaller foundations. Mr. Risselade gave the Treasurer's report, a copy of which is attached to these minutes. Contributions showed an increase ~!P~~t ~~df~~: ;:~o~~wo~ri:~~z~~!~n~h!sAC~~~~~~~~~nr~:I;~~~ti~~s 8 fees up, but numbers down , with a 24% increase in Co nference expenses. �Mr . Paynter gave the report of the Nominating Committee as follows: Chairman: Vice - Chairman: Secretary: Treasurer: Gilbert Hudson Howard Kalleward Sophia Gorham Robert Risselade Executive Committee: officers duly elected and Leonard White and John Paynter William White moved for acceptance of the report, Mr. Kooi seconded, and the motion passes unanimously. Mr. Hudson took the chair for the remainder of the meeting, thanking Leonard White for his work, and promising to convey his thanks and that of others at the luncheon to follow. Discussion followed on the appointment of the staff for the Conference of Michigan Foundations. It was moved and seconded that Sophia D . Gorham be appointed as Executive Secretary. The motion passed unanimously. Ms. Gorham then explained the arrangement between CMF and Foundation Services, Inc., the company of which she is President. The Budget for the 1975-76 Conference Year was discussed. It was pointed out that when CMF becomes a non-profit corporation, it will qualify for bulk mailing rates. Ms. Gorham also mentioned that all travel and expenses for conferences are cleared through the executive committee. Mr. Hudson directed the discussion toward anticipated income, and the memorandum on "Expanding Our Financial Base." It is evident that broadened support is needed . Ways of contacting foundations and banks not represented were discussed. A statement summarizing the purpose, goals, and past and future actions of CMF was suggested for personal approaches. Steering Committee members volunteered to contact those foundations with which they were familiar. Materials for personal contact will be provided shortly. Mr. Risselade suggested de-emphasizing the Annual Conference in these materials, and emphasizing other aspects of CMF. Returning to the Budget, Mr. Risselade moved that the budget as written be accepted. The motion was seconded and approved. The resolutions concerning fiscal management (attached) were discussed. Mr. William White moved for their acceptance, Mr . DesJardins seconded, and the motion was carried. The next order of business was the review of the proposed Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation. Mr. Leonard White answered questions about the necessity to include the fee schedule in the Bylaws, and explained the history of the preparations to incorporate. As mandated at the Second Annual Conference in Ann Arbor, incorporation proceedings will be initiated when the Conference has fifty contributors for two consecutive years. It was anticipated �that there would be fifty contributors before the next Steering Committee meeting. Mr. Des Jardins moved that the Executive Committee be empowered to file for incorporation as soon as the fiftieth contribution is received, without waiting for the Steering Committee meeting. The motion was seconded and carried. The necessity for legal counsel to review the Articles and Bylaws was discussed, and Mr. Jaffe offered to do this with the Executive Committee. Mr. Jaffe suggested that the membership of the Board section be re - written to include up to 10% of the membership to be persons not otherwise qualified as members. Associa te membership was discussed . Mr. Rydholm suggested that an organization might become an associate member by application, payment of a $10 fee, and approval of the Steering Committee. Mrs. Miller suggested that Article VIII, Section (e) of the Articles of Incorporation might read" . .. to suc h organization s described in Section 501(c)(3) or a public organization described in 509(a}(2 o r 3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 , ... " Discussion of the 1976 Conference centered around location and date. The Kalamazoo Center Inn prevailed as the favored location , and late February or ear ly March as the time. The Executive Committee will make the final decision, meeting at Kalamazoo on May 28 or 29, as empowered by a vote of the Steering Committee. Length of the Conference was discussed. The consensus of conferees at Troy was for a l i day meeting. Mr . William White mentioned the Conference of State Attorneys General, asking if foundation should be represented. The consensus of opinion was yes , an d Mr. White was asked to share the report from the Matt Foundation controller, who is currently attending the Conference. The meeting was adjourned at 12:43PM. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Under Foundation Sins he listed three principal ones as follows: 1- The God Complex t h a~ Foundations can and do acquire. 2- Fear of o pening Pa nd o ra's Box if Found a tions stray free ~lvln~ in a s e t channe l or groove . 3· Fo unda tiona look n t pe r s istent a ske r s as pa nt s rathe r t.!'lnn rr E'n ru - ~ rc: the t . ~ vn} \Je o '!' -:.. h ei r rcqt.Jest.s o r Lhal r d C' d ! c~ t. 1 on to n projnct. . t:::c. z. rd s he hl;hli ::h ~ E' d th r ee major a re as : 1o n ~a r E! - sl · ·r~~ v :·v c ~ ht 1 -nL l ~~ 1 t~ r ~~i. t:."'!.j .:) r act1•:! t~~= c :-- C:l ~ ~ !l i t c s . 2- L1.:!l j t. a n in st j t ut 1on by 'rtn r t11:-" 3- the ir epn ro c.

He attended High School and attended Central Michigan College in 1936. He did not graduate in 4 years as he was 2 credits short. He worked in the summer of 1940, and after the summer he decided to sign up for the Air Force {Army Air Corps], and he was called up in February 1941. He was then told he would be called up once the airfields were ready. (0:04:10) It was not until December 10, 1941, just after Pearl Harbor, that he was called up into active duty. Enlistment and Training (0:04:40)    He was sent to San Antonio, Texas where he attended basic training. This consisted of, for the most part, basic physical training and learning military life, as well as basic things about aircraft. (0:05:50) He was then sent to an airfield in the Panhandle of Texas where he took primary flight training. He was in a BT-19. During this training they were able to wash out about 80% of the class. He was washed out of the pilots training. He was given the choice of either bombardier or navigator, so he chose bombardier. (07:40) He was then sent to San Antonio and then to Midland, Texas for bombardier training. They used NT-11 planes and dropped practiced on the Norden Bombsight. They also had a mechanism on the ground that allowed them to practice on the sight. Active Duty (0:11:20)     He received a commission in July 1942 and was sent to Columbia, South Carolina where he was in charge of the training of a bombardier squadron. They completed the runway in September, and he trained the men to skip bomb and bomb at high altitudes. They were training the men in B-25s. (0:13:40) In November 1943, he was shipped overseas to The Pacific Theatre, where he flew a B-24. He shipped over in a plane to Guadalcanal where he joined a pre-existing squadron. He was squadron bombardier for this mission, and he trained the bombardiers on short bombing missions. (0:16:19) After training the squadron, he participated in bombing runs over various locations, including Bougainville. They then moved to Green Island and flew bombing missions from there. (0:17:20) They ran into anti-aircraft fire and some fighters, but they had their own fighter escorts to take care of this. �                (0:18:25) They targeted storage facilities and ships docked in harbors. They would also attack ships that were caught in the open. (0:19:50) They also worked bombing New Guinea. He was then sent to Hollandia, where he set up the base for a month. They flew bombing missions to Ceram and Western New Guinea. (0:22:10) His squadron was then transferred to Sanapur, Western New Guinea, where they made bombing runs to Borneo. (0:22:35) They were then transferred to another based, where they continued bombing. (0:23:00) After this, they moved along to Puerta Princesa in the Philippines, where they flew missions to Indochina. Here, he flew a total of 52 missions before he was sent back to the US in May 1945. (0:24:05) He got his separation papers in July 1945 and then joined the reserves. (0:24:34) His duties as lead bombardier (which were about half of his missions) included flying in the lead plane and directing bombing. During the missions where he was not the lead bombardier, he flew in the wing and let someone else do these duties. (0:25:02) They had 12 planes in their squadron, and would generally fly with other squadrons during bombing runs. The number of squadrons and where they went depended on the target. For instance, they would bomb runways with four squadrons. (0:27:40) They sometimes flew low altitude missions, where they would strafe and firebomb. These missions were the most dangerous, and they lost several aircraft on these missions. Their plane was hit on one of these missions, but the pilot was able to salvage the engine that got hit and they made it back to base. (0:31:45) Another time, his plane was hit while on a bombing mission by antiaircraft fire. They had many holes in the fuselage, one of the cables to the rudder was severed, and the tail gunner was hit in the hand. They found out that intelligence had missed some antiaircraft positions, leading to their being hit. (0:36:05) Their living conditions were usually ok. They lived in tents, and they used mosquito nets to attempt to ward of malaria. They usually ate normal K Rations, but when they got to Hollandia, they were allowed to fly to Australia to pick up fresh food to eat. For meat they were usually given mutton. (0:39:12) There were only a few issues with tropical disease in his unit. He got a fungal infection in his toes. (0:40:10) They got leave in Australia from time to time. He was able to go to Sydney. Normally GIs were forced to stay in Sydney, but he befriended a girl whose father was a government official, and this allowed him to leave Sydney. (0:43:45) They were warned not to go off of the base because there were Japanese in the area, and they were also warned that the local populations were at times hostile. (0:47:30) At one point, one of the men in the bunk next to his was killed in combat. (0:47:55) He stayed on longer than the normal allotted time. � (0:48:45) Their stay at Puerta Princesa was very nice, because they were in close proximity to some very nice beaches. Post-Service (0:49:45)   He worked as an engineer after the war in mechanical and electrical design. Also worked for General Motors � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
