EG: Uh, at the Saugatuck Douglas History Center in Douglas Michigan on July 21st, 2018. Uh, continuing
our oral history from part one, um previously. Um, so you were speaking a little bit about uh, the, the
Bible Camp, family camp…
DS: Oh.
EG: …and…
DS: Yeah, uh, Frank Bible, I would, came to the camp with Frank and Muriel Bible and because her
daughter, their daughter was my best friend. We were, oh it was probably 1945? 46? And uh, they had
great history with the camp. Uh, Louise's grandfather had been head of the far east Presbyterian, and
um, had Frank had been born in China. When they had to leave the country because of all of the
warring factions, etcetera. They came directly to the church camp. Where Frank Bible’s father basically
ran the show and worked with Jane Adams worked with all the others just start setting up the format of
the camp. So, he, Frank was a young boy and he was the lifeguard and at the nearby Oxbow, was this
very lovely Muriel whose father was a famous artist. And they met around the camp fire and this was
very much the way of life in the church camp because the camp fires were really big part of our lives. In
the process of being allowed the freedom to run in the woods and to run the whole area. We made our
way, at one particular time over as far as the Kalamazoo River, the new entrance to the Kalamazoo.
EG: [Laughs] Right.
DS: It was put in, begun in 1904, but at that point it was still called the new entrance.
MS: [Laughs]
EG: Right.
DS: The new channel, and we were messing around and playing in um, uh, the area right opposite
Singapore. We ran into one time, we ran into um, blue flow shards, a blue flow China. And another time,
Indian arrowheads, when we were working in another part, or, not working but playing in another part.
We took the back to the church camp because we wanted to, this was exciting stuff.
MS: Yeah.
EG: Mhm.
DS: And um, they were, there were people there that had been in that camp since the teens. Okay? And
they had, they were thrilled to see this, they never seen this, this kind of a [inaudible]. So they put it in a
little museum that we had, along with, with a lot of other history. The museum is now been destroyed,
to make a way for [sighs]
MS: Yeah.
DS: Housing development, and so life goes on. But, Louise and I in the early 50s went on to wait tables,
for three dollars a month.

DS: And all you could eat, and they did houses. In the dormitory that we were housed in was up at the
top of a dune that was almost as high as um, Mount Baldy.
EG: Mhm.
DS: So you can you can picture running up, and down.
MS: Oh gosh. [Laughs]
DS: Well…
EG: You’d be in good shape.
MS: Yeah.
DS: Be in very good shape.
[All laugh]
DS: Well the pavilion was still going strong, and that time and we got taken by the couple of the boys
from camp to go over to the pavilion dancing, and I have to tell you that was thrill.
EG: I’ll bet.
DS: I mean they no longer have the big orchestras and it was probably not as, as elegant as it has been
when my grandparents were there.
EG: Mhm.
DS: In 1911 and 12 and 13, they’d just take the steamer over.
EG: Right.
DS: Anyway, so that was great fun to be able to actually dance there and see what it was like, and of
course cry when it burned down…
EG and MS: Yeah.
DS: …Just a few years later. One time Louise and I were [coughs] interested in getting a pineapple soda.
[All laugh]
DS: …So we made our way to the ferry, now the ferry was not the ferry that you know today.
EG: The chain ferry?
DS: The chain ferry.
EG: Right.
�Dawn Schumann - Interviewed by Eric Gollannek and Meghann Stevens

DS: Well but it wasn’t the chain ferry then.
EG: Okay.
DS: It was a two sided rowboat.
EG: Okay.
MS: Oh.
DS: The chain was down there.
EG: Right.
DS: But, the, the big huge um, oh gosh what do you call it? Took the people across it was a large flat
boat.
EG: Like a barge.
[00:05:01]
MS: Yeah.
DS: A barge, that’s the word. A large, flat barge that could take um, horses and carriages and famers
wagons and what have you across that was no longer there. It was just two sided rowboat, and let me
tell you the problem was that the guy, the ferry man, Tim the ferry man was a tippler…
MS: Oh.
EG: Okay.
DS: …and so we explained to him that we had to be back at camp in 45 minutes. So we had half an hour
to go, get our soda’s and then we come back right away, and please be ready to take us back so we were
weren’t late.
EG: Mhm.
DS: We got back, no Tim in sight. We went, we ran as fast as we could do it every bar town and there
were a few.
EG: Right.
DS: And he wasn’t anywhere we could find, he wasn’t in back at the boat, so we had to swim. The river.
EG: Wow!
DS: And this was in August and it had been a very rainy July, like it is today. So there was a current.
EG: Yeah.

DS: Well we were both very strong swimmers, we had been swimming in Lake Michigan…
EG: Mhm.
DS: …since we were children and in High School we were both on the swim team and doing, uh, water
ballet. So we were pretty strong swimmers. Well, we got aw, out, we made it across with a lot of, I mean
it was really tough. But we got across up somewhere around the um, where the museum is now.
MS and EG: Mhm.
DS: The pump house.
EG: Yeah.
MS: Yeah.
DS: And when we got out, we were covered in, tan sticky, gunk.
MS and EG: Oh!
DS: I mean in our hair, and every part of oh our, oh, it was awful and it smelled. I mean it smelled really
bad. Well, we went running back to camp because we were really late.
MS: Yeah.
DS: And there's something, you know Perryman goes along to the Oval, well running parallel is
something called the um, the ministers walk and so we didn't want to be seen because we were such a
mess. And so we ran through the, the path that was through the woods that was the ministers walk. We
got to camp, ran up the top of the dune, did our bathing and um, tried hard to get to get off this, sticky,
oily, gunky, smelly stuff.
EG: Yeah.
DS: We did the best we could, we get down there to serve lunch and Papa T took one look at us and
smelled us, and said what have you been doing? And we just said, oh, well we had to run to town and
we just got back. Okay but you really smell bad. Well I'm sorry we did the best we could. We didn't tell
him that we had [laughs] because that was forbidden.
EG: Sure.
MS: Oh.
DS: Because people have thrown doing that.
EG: Sure.
MS: Oh.
DS: So, oh yeah.
�Dawn Schumann - Interviewed by Eric Gollannek and Meghann Stevens

MS: Couldn’t even tell him.
DS: So there we were. Anyway, it was a beautiful camp and seeing that I'm amazed me was is that, when
you sat in person, certain places in that camp, it was if there was, and I’ll use a term that I learned in
Sedona, you felt like there was something in the air, the atmosphere the feel, that uplifted you and you
were just [deep breath] And the second part of the camp was a circular area that had been in
encampment for the Indians for generations. I mean, probably a thousand years?
MS and EG: Mhm.
DS: And um, it's about five to six acres, circle, almost a perfect circle.
MS: Mhm.
DS: No trees growing in there. The grass stays short. It's the most amazing place you've ever seen. So
the camp had path that wound through it. Certainly through this meadow. Some, what we called the
meadow, and along the paths there would be a written stakes, things from Theroux, and [clears throat]
MS and EG: Mhm.
DS: Just different writers, of that period that were just thought provoking and you could sit down on
benches along the path or you could just keep running. The path ran from Shorewood all the way to the
ferry. Most people don't know that, but sitting talking to some of the older folk, and there actually was
an agreement between the city and the camp that path would be open to the public.
[00:10:11]
MS: Oh.
DS: As long as the uh, the camp gave the, the road, the camp owned the land that the road was on. \
MS: Yeah.
DS: And I saw this when Jim Schimiechen and I were doing the historic survey at the Burnham Library.
There was the agreement, and when we were, we were uh, trying to forestall the the purchase of the
church camp…
EG: Mhm.
DS: For a mega million dollar development, um, I went back to get it, to get a copy of this.
EG: Mhm.
DS: Because that would be germane.
MS: Mhm.
DS: It was gone. It had been taken from the library.
MS and EG: Oh.
�Dawn Schumann - Interviewed by Eric Gollannek and Meghann Stevens

DS: So we couldn't prove it.
MS: Yeah.
DS: Which is really a shame, but anyway that's, that’s the story.
EG: Wow.
DS: And um, I’ve gone back to the church camp until of course it was closed and I gave a, a lecture to a
whole host of people. This, a Historical Society event and I just stood there where they had a cross and a
bunch of benches looking out at the lake and I just stood there and I looked at people and I said what do
you feel? Stop and think a minute and feel it, and they could. When, once you stop and you think about
it. What you are feeling? You’re feeling really great. It’s good to be there, it’s a happy place. And that’s
what the dunes are, just exactly that. So when we couldn’t find a house and the interesting thing, I was
very involved with the Frank Lloyd Wright studio in Oak Park Illinois, and in 1975 we decided we wanted
to rent something on the Lakeshore, if we could, and we had a sailboat. It was an Islander 29 and it got
us all around the lake and we had a wonderful time with the kids. But we all wanted to put our buckets
in the sand.
[EG laughs]
DS: We missed being in Saugatuck. There was something wrong we weren’t in Saugatuck.
EG: Yeah.
MS: Yeah.
EG: Sure.
DS: And uh, so…
MS: [Whispering] Oh, sorry, sorry
DS: So um, [whispering] where was I? Oh. Oh.
EG: Coming back to Saugatuck.
MS: Yeah.
DS: So, I called a friend of ours from Oak Park that I had gone to High School who was realtor up here
and I said is there anything that’s available to rent on the lakeshore? She said, oh my god Dawn, get your
husband out of work, the kids out of uh, school and get up here right now. I just signed a contract to
rent a cottage that has your name over all it and I said why, and she said it was designed by a student
and Frank Lloyd Wright’s.
EG: Okay.
DS: So my husband left work the kids pulled out of school
MS: [Laughing]
�Dawn Schumann - Interviewed by Eric Gollannek and Meghann Stevens
July 21, 2018
DS: I mean, that was it.
EG: What, what time of year was this?
DS: This was in, um early June.
EG: Okay.
DS: I mean they were just finishing.
MS and EG: Mhm.
DS: So it was possible to do that.
EG: Right.
MS: Yeah.
DS: We came up, we walked in the front door, we got to uh, there's a, trip, typical of the style…
EG: Mhm.
DS: ….you go through a long narrow, uh, entryway…
MS: Yeah.
DS: …compressed and then, boom, out into space and we got into the kitchen which was the beginning
of that open space.
EG: Yeah.
DS: We didn't go any further, just turned to her and said, we’ll take it.
[All laugh]
DS: So we took it for the month of August and, and it turned out that the woman that had, the people
immediately next door had built it. Because they wanted to be there year round, and they discovered
winners are a little harsh.
EG: Mhm.
MS: Yeah.
DS: And so he loved to gamble and went to Las Vegas instead.
[MS and EG laugh]
DS: They kept the cottage, but they…
MS: Yeah.

�Dawn Schumann - Interviewed by Eric Gollannek and Meghann Stevens

DS: Winters were, are, you know, winters were in Las Vegas.
EG: Wow.
DS: So, um, we sold the boat and we took a second mortgage from the people next door, who loved us
because my dog would go over and keep him company while he watched, [pause] the market.
MS: Yeah.
EG: Right.
[MS and EG laugh]
DS: But anyway so we've got the cottage and have been here since 1975.
EG: Wow.
DS: And watched a lot of things go on. Big, big part of the Historical Society and uh, I was the first Cochair of the Heritage Preservation Committee and we did the historic survey of Saugatuck and Douglas
and Jim Schimiechen worked with us.
[00:15:18]
EG: Mhm.
DS: And uh, did his wonderful book.
MS: Yeah.
DS: And so, I don't know what else do you want me to tell you?
EG: Well that, that’s a, that’s a, that’s a tantalizing account.
MS: Yeah.
DS: Good!
[MS laughs]
EG: Of summer on the lakeshore. Um, any observations you’ve had having been here, it’s been really
your whole life here, summers over your whole life time.
DS: Right.
EG: The last forty years or so. Um, changes that you’ve seen in the community? Uh?
DS: You know, it's been a period of accessing historic of properties that have been change time over and
that change over time has not been negative. When I look at, out the window at the, at the um, what
was originally Methodist Church, now a library.
�Dawn Schumann - Interviewed by Eric Gollannek and Meghann Stevens
July 21, 2018
10
EG: Right.
DS: Change over time.
EG: Mhm.
DS: A different usage. Um, when we first started coming you could a bowling ball down Center Street
which is our main street.
MS: Mhm.
DS: And a couple of gentleman, took, purchased one of the uh, uh buildings and he restored it and all of
a sudden people begin looking at Douglas.
EG: Mhm.
DS: Today, you walk up and down the street and yes there is some intrusive properties into what it
would have been a very perfect, typical, um, 18, civil war era town.
EG: Yeah.
DS: But, on the whole, it's retained his character, and, so much so that you've got people who are
moving historic houses in to be around the park. Uh, the old Gerber mansion, Gerber baby food was
really begun here with, the Gerber’s a little boy that had digestive problems, a baby this and so she took
some peaches from their Orchard, and another things and ground them up.
MS: Oh, wow.
DS: And thus began Gerber baby food.
[EG laughs]
DS: But, um, yeah. It’s, there’ve been still changes. Um, but we at the same time there've been changes,
people are now turning around and taking a look at our history. And, and wanting to be a part of it.
MS: Yeah.
DS: Uh, that’s a wonderful, wonderful legacy.
MS: Yeah, that really is.
DS: Yeah, for example, we just had, we had a 1837 coach stop that had fallen into monumental disrepair
and the City of Saugatuck was trying to help keep it up by painting of the outside, keeping the grounds
moderately [laughs] mowed down.
MS: Yeah.
DS: And, um in comes the gentleman from Chicago who is a preservationist is from top to bottom. He
has put millions into restoring it, and it’s now open, it’s a bed and breakfast. And that place is as, as
really beautiful. Change over time.
�Dawn Schumann - Interviewed by Eric Gollannek and Meghann Stevens
July 21, 2018
11
EG: Mhm.
DS: But he has kept the entire feel of the interior to what would have been there in the 1850’s. So that's
good change over time.
EG: Right. Absolutely, yeah. Um, part of our, um, part part of the mission with this project, the Stories of
Summer projects is also about uh, the gay community in Saugatuck and Douglas, and kind of looking the
history of that, that population. Those residence in, have shaping Saugatuck and Douglas into what they
are, if you have any? Reflections on that?
DS: I rented, I rented the cottage to the first gay couple to uh, come to the lakeshore. And, they are
wonderful people, we're still friends today. Douglas would not be Douglas without the gay community.
Absolutely no question. Yes. The rest of us have done our part here and there [All laugh] But nothing,
nothing like the gay community. It, it’s interesting because when we in talking to the library who's trying
to build a new building.
EG: Mhm, yeah.
DS: I was in there, my husband and I were in there with several gentleman who were gay and the one
point we made was the, what they had designed was the building that really didn't fit in with the historic
architecture of the community, and they had invested, heavily in making sure that this town. Although
we do not have any ordinance, we couldn’t get that through because we had some realtors who really
muddied the water for us when we tried to get it…
[00:20:25]
EG: Into the preservation ordinance?
MS: Yeah, okay.
EG: Right, yeah.
DS: Preservation ordinance, uh but, it's, it’s been restored in spite of that and I have to say. It is 90%
thanks to the gay community. I sat at lunch today and there we were in a restaurant and there were as
many gay folks is there were families. Nobody thought a thing of it.
EG: Any, any experiences that you’d share good or good or more challenging stories about how thats
changed over time? About uh, how, how welcoming, I mean your sense of how welcoming Douglas and,
and uh Saugatuck have been to?
DS: Certainly better than they were to the Jews. There was sign.
EG: I’ve seen the photo of that, yeah.
MS: Yeah
DS: There was a sign, Jews not welcome. That never happened for the gay community. The way they
came in and they became a responsible part of the community such as the two lads restoring um, that
first building.
�Dawn Schumann - Interviewed by Eric Gollannek and Meghann Stevens
July 21, 2018
12
EG: Yeah.
DS: Uh, began an awareness among the rest of us that had lived here. That, hey there were some really
nice people…
[MS and EG laugh]
DS: …who happen to love the same things we love, and they were here because they did, and hey
welcome.
EG: Yeah.
DS: And, and that's my perspective, now others may have a different perspective.
MS: Mhm.
DS: But clearly, I'm not, I’m not, uh part of a group that would be anti- because I rented my home.
EG: Right.
MS: Yeah.
EG: For sure.
DS: To, to gays.
MS: Yeah.
DS: And I'll tell you, what Carl and Larry did to the gardens, and to the inside the house it’s never looked
so good.
[MS and EG laugh]
DS: So.
EG: That’s wonderful, yeah that’s a, that’s a great story. I'm just curious if you have any insights, uh,
thinking about this the kind of magic of this place. What do you think it was sort of attracted visitors and
particularly, kind of gay visitors and people to settle here. Do you have a sense historically?
DS: Well, I think it’s, it was probably that they were treated as people, not gay people. Just treated as
people.
EG: An inclusive atmosphere.
DS: It, I think, to, in my experience it's always been inclusive, there may be incidents that other people
had differently but frankly um, I don't think anybody ever worried about it, and so you had a beautiful
community, beautiful climate, historic fabric that I think the gays that came particularly respected and
um it just was, it just worked. I would say we're probably at this point equal number of gays and
straights. My grandson is gay, and it came to me and he said Grandma I have to talk to you and I said
�Dawn Schumann - Interviewed by Eric Gollannek and Meghann Stevens
July 21, 2018
13
okay and he said, took my hands, and I said so, what do you want to tell me, he said, Grandma, I’m gay,
and I looked at him and I said, Seth I'm straight.
[MS and EG laugh]
DS: And that kind of the way a community is.
MS: Mhm.
DS: You are what you are. I am what I am, so what? Your, I like you. You’re a person. Uh, I think
certainly the particular people such as Ken Carlson, Jim Schimiechen who were so interested and
welcoming and part and really helping to make it a vibrant community, made a big difference. That’s
part of what I like talk about coming in and helping us being responsible for the maintaining of this
community. Because it's never look better in my life.
EG: Well, that’s a great…
MS: Yeah.
EG: Great, optimistic uh, message there.
DS: Good.
EG: In your reflection.
MS: Yeah.
EG: I appreciate that. I want to be respectful of your time.
DS: Thank you.
EG: Because were probably getting, getting to our point to wrap up.
MS: Yep.
EG: Uh, thinking, think, taking the long view looking ahead. You can think about, you know, fifty years
from now. Right there maybe someone listening to this recording uh, is there any message you would
like to share, kind of looking ahead to that that future audience? Listening to this, what you’d like them
to know about…
[00:25:08]
DS: Well they’ll probably…
EG: The community now?
DS: They’ll probably be some of my family, because I was a Goshorn, Goshorn Lake, Goshorn creek? My
daughter is Laurie Goshorn and my Pete, son is Peter Goshorn and they will live here, uh in retirement
because they own property.
�Dawn Schumann - Interviewed by Eric Gollannek and Meghann Stevens
July 21, 2018
14
EG: Yeah.
DS: And uh, I wouldn't want them to remember how hard day they helped work to help make this
community what it is because my kids always pitched in and um, I would hope that um, in the future
people who would continue to respect the value system and the culture of this town because the
culture is what makes it. The biggest problem we have right now is that so many people rent their
homes that it’s hard to maintain continuity of people that have that we have had in the past. Because
you got people here that have come for the summers their whole lives, and spend the whole summer.
EG: Right.
MS: Yeah.
DS: Because they’ve been teachers or whatever and that's changed. I, I, that's my biggest fear is that
that will change things um, but I, what we have is unique. We really have a unique environment both in
terms of historic architecture and things of that sort. The climate of openness and welcome. I would
hope if it goes beyond the diversity of sexuality and that there are other people would, you know other,
other uh, ethnic groups would be welcome. I do see more of that um, but I feel, I, you know I've worked
hard for open occupancy in Oak Park.
EG: Mhm.
MS: Yeah.
DS: So, what am I, you know?
EG: Yeah.
DS: I see a need for many different racial groups to be here as well. Um, we have a value system, we
have a culture, we have landscape, we have a history, we’ve got it all.
[MS and EG laugh]
DS: And a good education system, our schools are very good.
MS: Yeah.
DS: If I were starving over and raising my kids, I would love to raise them in this town where they can
hop on their bikes and be wherever they want be and there's a defined area that’s your…
EG: Right.
DS: Of the town and um…
EG: Yep.
DS: You've got everything you need within it.
EG: Very good, alright.
�Dawn Schumann - Interviewed by Eric Gollannek and Meghann Stevens

DS: Enough?
EG: Anything you want, questions that you have?
MS: Um, nope not at the moment.
EG: yeah, I feel like you had like a self-guided, kind of, it took you through your story.
MS: Yeah. [Laughing].
EG: Didn’t have to do too much here. With that we'll wrap things up. Thank you so much for your time
and sharing your stories here today and this concludes our interview.

There is no handwriting on the back of the postcard, however, the typed description in the upper left-hand corner reads: "Saugatuck Ferry. Everyone loves to ride across the channel of the Kalamazoo River on the unique chain ferry. The Saugatuck-Douglas area of West Michigan offers the visitor a wide variety of fun-filled activities and excellent accomodations. Relax at Saugatuck."
