THE LEGENDARY
EDDIE CALHOUN
NOVEMBER 12-13-14, 1993

A WORLD CLASS JAZZ PRODUCTION

HELD IN COOPERATION WITH THE SAUGATUCK/DOUGLAS VISITORS BUREAU
AND THE DOUGLAS DUNES RESORT
�EDDIE CALHOUN
EDDIE CALHOUN, "Bass player of the Stars", was Mississippi born and grew
up in Chicago playing with primitive makeshift instruments. At the age of 20,
while in the service, he acquired his first bass fiddle. For the next five years he
performed in England, France and at home for the U.S. Army. Shortly after
being discharged, he emerged into the Chicago music scene to perform and
record with Sonny Thompson, Sun Ra. , Miles Davis, Prince Cooper, Dick
Davis, Ahmad Jamal, Horace Henderson, Johnnie Griffin, Eddie "Cleanhead"
Vincent, Buddy Smith and Charlie Parker.
One late August day in 1955, Eddie got a call from Erroll Garner, writer of
"Misty", asking him to join his trio. Two weeks later, and without rehearsal,
they performed in Carmel, California with drummer Denzil Best. A recording
was secretly made, and to this day, "Concert By The Sea" remains the largest
selling piano jazz album of all time. Eddie has been included on hundreds of
recordings on a dozen record labels, such as Columbia, Phillips, Reprise,
Mercury, and Polydor-to name a few, thus solidifying a career spanning five
decades.
Touring the world with Erroll Garner for thirteen years, brought Eddie together
with renowned artists Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Dizzy Gillespie, Harry
Belafonte, Della Reese, Percy Faith, Stephan Grape/Ii, Monty Alexander, John
Young, Kansas Fields, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and Jackie G/eason,just to name
a few. His show credits include Steve Allen, Gary Moore, Arthur Godfrey,
Johnnie Carson, Jackie Gleason, The Bell Telephone Hour and an
unprecedented 5 times on the Ed Sullivan Show. He then managed his own
succest,ful Chicago jazz club. Now semi-retired, he is living in West Michigan.
He was called to Oxford University to lecture last summer and was inducted into
the prestigious Jazz Hall of Fame. He was a featured performer at the Chicago
Jazz Festival in September. He appears 011 the last Sunday of every month in
his home town of Baldwin/ldlewild and can be seen and heard at clubs,
fundraisers and festivals throughout the area and Chicago. He is currently
working on material for his own album.

Candace Van Oss Part 2- Interviewed by Nathan Neitering
July 21 2018
1
Nathan Neitering: Alright, here we go. Okay, this is Nathan Neitering I’m here today with Candace Van
Oss at the old schoolhouse in Douglas, Michigan on July 21st 2018. This oral history is being collected as
part of the Stories of Summer Project, which is supported in part by a grant from the National
Endowment for the Humanities Common Heritage Program. Uh, this is a continuation of uh, part one
that got cut off inadvertently. So we will pick up approximately where we left off. Thank you again for
taking the time to talk with me today. Um, can you please say and then spell your full name?
CVO: Candace, C A N D A C E Van Oss V as in Victor A N O S S
NN: Very good, thank you, um and so we'll sort of pick up where we left off which was um, your school
memories at Douglas Elementary. Four classrooms you said, uh and you still see many, some of your
former classmates around town, is that, that’s correct?
CVO: oh yes
NN: Okay, uh, and you have any teachers particularly stick out in your mind?
CVO: there was, well, the one that was my kindergarten and first grade teacher was a family friend so
right there, you know it was like, um, I had to call her Mrs. Wicks even though [laughs] she was Natalie!
NN: Okay, yeah
CVO: But, one of my classmates who was also my best friend at the time, it was her nephew David Wicks
and when he had to call her Mrs. Wicks, [laughing] it was, you know, that was, that was. And there were
three Johns, I remember the, uh, 3 or 4? Oh, John Thomas, John Rich, John Drepeck, and uh John Build
and uh, a couple of Nancy’s and, you now that kind of thing. But I was the only Candace, so! [Laughs]
NN: You were the only Candace, alright. Very good, um, let me follow up with some of my questions
here. [Pause] Were there are other places in town, besides at school obviously, during the school year
and down by the Kalamazoo River in Douglas where you recall spending time, other businesses or
churches or other places?
CVO: oh yes! Um, we spent a lot of time in the ball park which, you know now it's got statues and, back.
I was telling my son just the other day that they had done nothing to the park when we were kids. It was
had, been left for years. we got like this broken drinking fountain, you know, we knew that if we turned
it on it would just spray up in the trees and there was still shuffle board equipment, nobody played and
there were shuffle board courts, yeah the shuffle board whatever were behind these benches and we’d
get them out and of course, you know! And uh, they did not, uh really you know fix the park.
NN: It was not maintained?
�Candace Van Oss Part 2- Interviewed by Nathan Neitering
July 21 2018

CVO: Right, for a long time and uh but we had fun just goofing off and you know chasing each other.
Watching the um, the little league games we had friends that were you know, playing little league and
we’d go up there to watch them and they were all, used to be at night.
NN: Okay
CVO: You know evening, and then we go across the road, there was the Dinette. Which is now the
Everyday People…
NN: Café. Yes.
CVO: They had, they stayed open all day and till like eight o'clock or nine o'clock at night, and so we
would go there to get ice cream after because it was right there and we ride our, you know, ride our
bikes and us girls, sometimes we’d, I had one friend I remember his name was Paul and he was playing
the [pause] the game, he's he's playing the game…
NN: Okay.
CVO: And these girls and I wanted to grab a bike and go bike riding. So we said, ‘Paul’, [laughs] I said,
‘Paul, can I use your bike uh, we’re going to go bike riding’ and he says ‘No!’ and then another gal that
was with us said, ‘Paul she is going to take your bike, okay.’ And then [laughing] and we just, you know
absconded with Paul’s bike!
[NN laughs]
But, everyone knew each other then, you know, it’s a different time. If your, if the neighbors or the
towns people saw you out any later, you know. It was like ‘is she supposed to be?’
NN: Somebody might hear about, huh? Yes?
CVO: Yes, and they would call your parents! I remember one man called one night and my dad answered
the phone and he said, ‘she's standing right here’ and the man saw a girl that looked like me up, we had
a telephone booth and it [inaudible] you know and he thought it was me, standing in this telephone
booth you know after ten o'clock at night, and so he called my dad and dads like, no?
[00:05:04]
NN: Wasn’t you, huh?
CVO: Wasn’t me! But you know we spent just a lot of time hanging around and there were two stores
that are, of course, no longer. One was a bakery.
NN: Okay
�Candace Van Oss Part 2- Interviewed by Nathan Neitering
July 21 2018

CVO: It was owned by my cousins when I was very young and they made wedding cakes and, you know
whole, whole thing.
NN: What was the name of that bakery?
CVO: Just Douglas
NN: Douglas Bakery?
CVO: Bakery, yeah. And then down the street there was a store and it sold, it was a newsstand and it
also sold candy, of course and uh, Knickknacks and this and that, and you went and got your paper there
every day instead of, of, at time having this delivery or whatever. You went and picked up your Sentinel
at the, and it was called Tyler's General Store, Tyler, but we always called it Neevas because the lady
that owned it was Neeva Tyler and she was so wonderful and if, in the olden days, it was there when I
was little, if you came in with a quarter, [inaudible] [laughs] you would usually get a bag full of stuff and
still leave with your quarter because she would,
[NN laughs]
She was a wonderful, you know…
NN: Very generous with the kids?
CVO: Yes.
NN: Okay.
CVO: And her family was you know, well, well liked around her they just lived a couple blocks away from
the store and…
NN: So the store both of those, those two stores were both on Center Street?
CVO: Right
NN: In Douglas.
CVO: Where the, yeah. Where Neeva’s store is where the um, coffee place is?
NN: Oh, uh, Respite Cappuccino?
CVO: Yes, yes.
NN: Okay, yep.
CVO: That was that.
�Candace Van Oss Part 2- Interviewed by Nathan Neitering

NN: Okay, okay um, and you said you used to go get ice cream at the dinette, what was your favorite
flavor of ice-cream?
CVO: Chocolate.
NN: Excellent. Do you have any other memories of being in the dinette?
CVO: Oh yes.
NN: What was that venue like?
CVO: My, well as usual, it was friends and my mother went there every morning of my schooling you
know, and she said after she drop me off at Douglas Elementary she’d go down there for coffee and they
had a coffee klatch, you know, and the lady that owned it was my friend David, the same David whose,
[laughs] his, his other Aunt owned the, the dinette and so there were a lot of times when we would go in
there so my mother could have coffee in the afternoon and chat with, you know, the post master. And
David would be there because his mother was waitress. His Aunt owned and his Mother waitressed. So
sometimes David and I would just sit in the booths in the, in the back and I remember we're just learning
to read both of us and we were reading Doctor Seuss, the, like Cat in the Hat, [laughs] but to each other.
But, you know, we, we, yeah, we hung out there a lot.
NN: Okay alright. Um, and the ball fields for, the poorly maintained ball field is where Beery Field is now,
right?
CVO: Yes
NN: Right, right down, in downtown Douglas. It is, it's very nicely maintained. Um, did you go to church
at all at local church?
CVO: Um, later on. Uh, the Catholic Church that I talked about that across the, right across the street
from our home on Washington Street. That became the Community Church at first in about 1965, start
like the very end of 1965, and my parents decided since we lived across the street [laughs]
NN: Convenient
CVO: My mother had been Catholic we, um, went to mass a couple times but when I reached like uh, if
you were Catholic you usually went on to the Catholic School. The Catholics had their own elementary
school which was situated in several different places. But, my mother put in kindergarten, of course in
Douglas and then she knew I was, loved public school and uh, she didn't go to the Catholic church that
much, anyway any more so, thank goodness I got to go public school because the Catholic school was all
Nuns and they even lived Downtown here in…
NN: Oh, right at their site there?

CVO: Yeah.
NN: Okay, oh interesting.
CVO: Yes and that used to be a school down there too.
NN: Right, right. Saint Peters, right?
CVO: Yes, yes.
NN: Okay, yep. Um, did you have any summer jobs here in Douglas or in Saugatuck?
CVO: Mostly babysitting. Which was kind of fun because, I loved to babysit in Saugatuck because I’d
round up the kids and take them downtown with me, you know, when I was a teenager so I could still
get out and about but have the kids with me. And uh, I had another boy that I used to babysit for quite
often on Douglas Lakeshore and he was, sweet little boy and it was back in the Batman era, Batman and
Robin were you know and so we have to play Batman and Robin when I babysat, we’d have to put on
capes and leap about the house but, hey, you know, I got paid to do it!
NN: And it’s memorable now, right?
CVO: Yes!
NN: Um, did you spend much time out by the lakeshore?
CVO: Oh yes.
NN: Yes.
CVO: Yeah, my, my dad's um, ah, that was his big business, of course in the summer he had to open all
the cottages, turn on the water uh, I met many of his customers and they’d say, ‘oh, you know, bring her
down, you know, she can go to our beach’ or I made friends with people that had grand kids and stuff
down there, and the grand kids would invite me over.
NN: Oh!
CVO: Yes! And you got to be, you know, you got to have your own little stretch of beach because it was
private
NN: Right.
CVO: And so we had many fun hours, you know, down, right down at the beaches.

NN: Um, you mentioned going to Saugatuck High School and the math in my head says that would’ve
been probably in the late 60’s, early ‘70s? Okay? What can you tell me about Saugatuck...
[CVO Laughs]
In the ‘60s?
CVO: My ex-husband said I should write a book. Um, because I remember more than, than he does. But,
the school, when we got there in 7th grade, our class was so huge, by then, because they had you know,
it was Saugatuck kids, Douglas kids, Pearl kids, Glenn kids, yes. We, we had the best biggest class ever to
come to Saugatuck and the principal and the teachers were all, kind of shook up because there were so
many of us they had to divide us into 7A, 7B, 7C and 7D. And, um, we, you know spent the next year
from 7 to 12 there and the school got so crowded because it was a smaller high school it’s no longer
there, you know but then they were going to build eventually that one [inaudible]
CVO: the school that…
NN: The current school, yeah.
CVO: but we had an open campus policy because there were so many of us that if you didn't have a class
and you weren't in any trouble for anything you could just go downtown and go to the drug store, go do
the… I majored in drinking coffee my senior year because I had so many credits that I’d have a class and
then I have a big hour off and then I have a, another class, and you know, and, and, my friends and I
made many many trips to town and there are two different ways to go.
NN: Okay
CVO: There were the front steps...but we’d take the trail which was, went past uh, on uh, Lake Street.
NN: Okay
CVO: Or you would go the back and there were back stairs, that now they kind of run behind the, I, I
think it’s a, that arts center, whatever?
NN: Saugatuck Center for the Arts, yes.
CVO: Yeah.
NN: Yes there is a separate stairway back there
CVO: yes.
NN: Okay.
CVO: and, but that was considered the smoker, [laughs] the smoking kids.
�Candace Van Oss Part 2- Interviewed by Nathan Neitering

NN: Oh!
CVO: Steps, if you were going to the steps
NN: Back steps
CVO: Yes.
NN: Interesting, I love it. So what was your coffee destination? Was it the drug store or somewhere
else?
CVO: No, it was a place called the Corner Cafe which now is a Mexican restaurant I believe, on the, um,
on, when you come on Lake Street also but, and um the family owned it, at the time. The one waitress,
especially my senior year like I said, my friend Bev and I were in and out and in and out all day and after
a while she’d say ‘don't you kids ever go to school?’ [Laughing] ‘Don’t you have somewhere to be?’
[Laughs] and, but, like I said if you didn't have to be there, they didn't want you there wasn't the room.
They even put, a, portable classrooms.
NN: Oh
CVO: It was like in a, [laughs] they put up about I think it was around six.
NN: On the property of the main school?
CVO: On the property, yes.
NN: Okay, hm. And you said your friend Bev, what's her name?
CVO: Her name was Beverly Simonson.
NN: Okay.
CVO: and then her, she um, passed away in 1986 very suddenly and her brother was, is Bruce Simonson
who is the uh, up, up until last year or so he was the head of the Public Works Department
NN: Yes, in Saugatuck
CVO: Yes
NN: The Public Works Director, that's right.
CVO: Yes
NN: Okay, um, and Bev was in the same grade as you?
�Candace Van Oss Part 2- Interviewed by Nathan Neitering

CVO: oh yes we were only about, her birthday was December 30th and mine is December 8th and, and
so we were together a great deal. [Laughs] A great deal at the time.
NN: do you, um would you ever go anywhere else in downtown Saugatuck, even on the weekends or
after school?
CVO: Oh sure.
NN: Yeah?
CVO. Yeah. Um, Marro’s which, you know, was uh, the big pizza place and the time like, well now you
can’t. [Laughs] But back then, [inaudible] it was called something else and I, but owners were named
Roy and Rose Krawitz, and you would order your pizza and you could just go in the back door, and sit in
the kitchen with them if you wanted and wait. If your pizza was to go. And when I was dating what
turned out to be my husband, now he’s my ex-husband, later. We remember going there every Saturday
night and back then you could just go in, get served, you know, get out! It wasn't like now with the with
the reservations
NN: Yes
CVO: and the lines, and the…
NN: It was just the neighborhood pizza place.
CVO: Uh huh
NN: Right? Okay. I know you would have been pretty young, do you remember ever going to the
pavilion before it burned?
CVO: No, I remember going past it, I remember thinking like I was in a foreign country a little kid, to see
a building that big.
NN: yeah.
CVO: But no, at my mother, of course, and her brother and her friends always used it for a dance hall,
and just um, previous to it burning down it had become a movie theater or a while and I remember my
friend Jackie lived right over there [laughs] right next door from this place um, I remember Jackie and
her mother were talking about going, they went to the movies and stuff, but, I, no, I never was inside.
NN: Okay, okay. But, you, you said you watched it when it was on fire.
CVO: Oh yeah
NN: So you saw the end, unfortunately, right?
�Candace Van Oss Part 2- Interviewed by Nathan Neitering
July 21 2018

CVO: It was on the news that night and everything, I mean, you know, it’s like, it was the end of an era
for many people.
NN: For sure and, and I bet your Dad didn't get home till real late that night, as the Fire Chief, or as
Police, Police Chief at the time.
CVO: Yeah
NN: Yes
CVO: Um, he did manage to see it on the news when it, when it came on but, and all the adults I
remember that, were familiar with it of course which was most of them, [laughs] you know, most of the
population were all just sick, you know, that night, just, you know, beyond belief.
NN: Um, when you were in high school, what was your favorite subject?
CVO: History
NN: Oh! You’re in the right place, I think. Anything particular any specific era or just history in general?
CVO: just history in general. I had our wonderful teacher. He, a lot of the boys never liked him but his
name was Richard McFall and I, I was always very interested in his class and kept, they kept my
attention and, and uh I just really uh, enjoyed, uh, his classes a great deal and he was only like ten years
older than us really but you know he tried to be this bossy, you know, scary guy and I just you know,
right, you know but he was uh, one of my favorite, favorite teachers. When he, when uh, we graduated,
that, on the night we graduated, people lined up. You, you, the seniors would line up in the hall and
then people that were at the graduation, of course come and wish you well, and shake your hand and
kiss you and hug you, and I put my arms around him and said ‘I’m going to miss you so much’.
NN: And uh, what year did you graduate from high school?
CVO: ‘72.
NN: 1972. Okay, alright and you were living in Douglas. Was there a bus? How did you get to Saugatuck,
to the high school?
CVO: Um, in the earlier years, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th we had a bus that would uh, be picking up
the elementary kids and when he’d, they drop the elementary kids off in the morning and the bus will
come through Douglas and pick us up. At one time, the place used the post office and the post office got
sick of us [laughs] and they made us go down to, like where the respite is now and pick, and catch the
bus down there.
NN: okay. Alright um, and then at the end of the day you take the bus back to Douglas as well? Okay.
�Candace Van Oss Part 2- Interviewed by Nathan Neitering
July 21 2018
10
CVO: Mhm and it would let you off in a different place. It let you off on Main Street across from the
dinette, you know.
NN: Okay
CVO: in that corner there
NN: Um, so how would you, how is Douglas, how would you uh, explain how Douglas is changed from
what you remember of the community when you were a child? You still live here now, how, how, what,
how would you describe that change?
CVO: it's gotten, you know, so built up. There used to be a time when uh, when you went to the store.
DeMond’s which was called Taft's year ago. When that, that opened when I was in about 5th grade and
you just knew everybody, you know, you’d go in and, and it was only open till six o'clock every night and
you had to get your stuff you know, by a certain time, it was, and uh, you know, uh it was like unheard
of, a store being open, and you know oh my goodness and uh, so over the years with um, more and
more population more and more different stores and different things they even sell now. I tell you the
truth I even don't know, you know, what a lot of them are, someone says to me have you been to the
so-and-so, no. [Laughs]
NN: No [laughs] and, let me see. But you still, you still do see many people who you grew up with or
their siblings or something who are, who do still live in town, so there still is that, a portion of that home
grown component that is still here.
CVO: Oh yes. Oh yeah, we, uh, have a good time when we do get together. [Laughs]
NN: I was going to say, do you get, do you have a little group that gets together and, reminisces?
CVO: We have before, yes, we have but not of lately, but, we, yeah. [Laughs] You know, and um, and
that's always fun and funny thing is you always care about each other, which, is another thing where a
lot of people go to school and never really know who they went to school with and, did, yeah. And uh,
where, if we see another person, from our you know, our old thing they’ll say, how’s so-and so, or, have
you seen so-and-so, or, so it's like a little network.
NN: It is, it’s a little family almost, right? A community family, sort of. Okay, um, uh, I know you said
when you were younger, you would, you could go to the lakeshore uh, because of the people that your
father was, was working with or doing business. Did you ever know anybody else who was out in the
Lakeshore area? Even as you were getting older, becoming an adult?
CVO: Oh, um, yes, my, we had real good family friend and um, her and her son, oh, uh, lived on
Lakeshore all year round. She worked at the bank in Saugatuck and her name was Leigh Showers and her
son was Kendall, who, Kendall was very well known around here for a long time because he was a disc
jockey or radio announcer or whatever, in Holland at WHTC.
�Candace Van Oss Part 2- Interviewed by Nathan Neitering
July 21 2018
11
NN: Okay
CVO: And so, knowing them was, and we had a news man who I was just talking to someone about this
too. A newsman from Channel 8, their, one of their news anchors at Channel 8 moved here when I was
about 6 because his daughter came in the first grade with us and his name was Bill Alan and he lived on
[starts Laughing] lake, on Lakeshore too and everybody was like, it was like the local celebrity. Bill Alan!
NN: And what was his daughter's name?
CVO: Nancy.
NN: Who, one of the Nancy's who was in your class, okay.
CVO: Yes, she, she was a very, she graduated way ahead, she knew she was away ahead of us as far as,
and, but it was fun to see them and, right, I’ve seen him on TV, you know? Whoa!
NN: Um, we've heard some stories from other people that the sort of late ‘60s were kind of a, uh,
tumultuous time in the community? What do you recall about that?
CVO: I know that in the early ‘60s, when Dad was on the patrol thing and my mother and I were at the
square dance…
NN: Yes
CVO: and we came home that night and we could hear yelling and screaming and shouting in Saugatuck
and they, at the time were saying that Saugatuck was having a riot.
NN: Okay, yes.
CVO: And I don’t really, you know, I don’t really know who was involved or what happened but you
could…
NN: …so you were in Douglas…
CVO: …in my room…
NN: …by, by Lake Kalamazoo…
CVO: …Yes…
NN: …And you could hear the sound…
CVO: …Yes…
�Candace Van Oss Part 2- Interviewed by Nathan Neitering
July 21 2018
12
NN: … of people across the water from Saugatuck. Wow that’s amazing. Yes. Do you recall [pause]
motorcycles?
CVO: Oh yes.
NN: Yes?
CVO: Mhm
NN: Buzzing about town? Tell me about that, what do you remember?
CVO: Well, they were kind of, you know, they seemed so scary at the time, they were kind of, you know.
But, one time I was walking through Douglas and this poor guy, you know the guy with the black leather
[inaudible] on his motorcycle comes up to me about 12, and he says ‘um, is this Saugatuck?’ and he’s got
this, you know, really worried, like, I bet he’s going to cry look on and I said ‘No, Saugatuck is across the
river, you just get on the bridge’ and he was like ‘Oh! Thank goodness’ you know he had heard all about
this wild Saugatuck town and he’s Douglas and he’s going ‘I’m lost!’
NN: Yep
CVO: And people before did stop me even when I still lived in Douglas, um, I moved out of uh Douglas in
about 19, uh, no, 2001 and but people still would stop me sometimes and say how do you get, this one
lady went, ‘Well how do I get the Ferry over to Saugatuck?’ and I said ‘No, no, you can just go right up
here, there’s a bridge.’ But she thought Saugatuck was the, that you had to get there by boat.
NN: That was the only way to go, was the ferry! Okay, okay. Interesting. Um, uh, do you remember
anything about uh, rock concerts in Saugatuck? Yes?
CVO: Yes
NN: Yes
CVO: Another Dad story
NN: Yep
CVO: My father was Saugatuck Township Supervisor by that time.
NN: okay
CVO: Man was, and they had announced that this man, that was a promoter big promoter in um,
Detroit. His name was Mike Quatro and he was going to have this big, you know, pop festival like, like
Woodstock, you know [laughs] and it was going to out by Goshorn, but was it accessible, you know, just
through Saugatuck.
�Candace Van Oss Part 2- Interviewed by Nathan Neitering
July 21 2018
13
NN: Right.
CVO: and it was about 1968 or 9. I, I think it had to be about I, I was about fifteen. And the couple nights
before they had a big meeting at the Douglas Hall over here because back then Saugatuck Township did
not have a meeting place.
NN: Oh a, a, okay.
CVO: and my father was on a, at desk and people were yelling, you know it was not a pleasant meeting
getting in his face because they didn't want all these people of course. You know, those hippies, and,
and, and, all that come in here and he could not get an injunction. He did not get an injunction for it. So
it went on!
NN: So the festival went forward, okay.
CVO: Yes it did. There were many, um, Bob Seger was there at the time he was up, just new. Uh, Ted
Nugent. He was in band called the Amboy Dukes and Muddy Waters and my father did have to promise
the citizens that he would go there every day. Speak to Mike Quatro, and just make sure that everything
was, because people, our phone rang constantly and people were like ‘Where’s your Father!’, I was, you
know, like fifteen and they’re going ‘We’re going to get your Father for this’, and I'm like yeah and um,
so it was a very, you know, difficult time but we went out there. I went out there with him but the last
you want to do when you’re fifteen and you think you’re really cool is going to this thing with your dad.
[Laughs]
NN: Hang out with your father!
CVO: Yeah! And he's going to Mister Quatro, he's going ‘Oh, um, Can here, she's there somebody she
wants to meet.’ I wanted to meet Ted Nugent, I wanted to meet him. And, and he says ‘What's her
name again?’ [Laughing, Inaudible] and I did Muddy Waters.
NN: Okay.
CVO: So I, I did not realize the significance of that later until I moved to Illinois for a while and then when
he died, I mean Chicago was…
NN: Yeah
CVO: And I’m going ‘I met him’ at the pop festival and my brother in law still has a poster from it and I
wish I would've saved, Mike Quatro had all this really cool stationary that he would, he would write to
my father you know various times about stuff and I did keep it for years and years but, one of those
things, don’t know what, always wished I still had it.
NN: Well if you ever come across some, we would love to see it.
�Candace Van Oss Part 2- Interviewed by Nathan Neitering
July 21 2018
14
CVO: Yes.
NN: What, what, did you meet Mike Quatro?
CVO: Yes I did.
NN: Okay, what do you remember about him, anything?
CVO: Just that he [inaudible] small town, you know, and people were just lined up all over the place and
the cars out in Blue Star, it was, it was a mess. And motorcycles like you know, it was, and you know
people calling saying people relieving themselves in their yards, and you know the cars, and this and this
and this, you know very many many complaints.
NN: So your family was personally impacted by the controversy of the concert or the festival, yes?
Besides what you actually experienced yourself, the phone was ringing off the hook it sounds like. [sighs]
And how much longer was your dad the Township Supervisor after that?
CVO: He stayed until 1982 believe it or not. He stayed there 14 about 14-15 years.
NN: So his whole career then, was pretty much for public service.
CVO: Right
NN: First as the Police Chief, then as the Fire Chief and then as the Township Supervisor.
CVO: And when you were the Township Supervisor you had many duties that they now have with
someone else. He was the Sexton of the cemetery, he when someone died you had to get the books out,
find out where their burial place was. Even meet with the family to show them where it was. He had to
do all that, get the, write all the information back in the books. Plus he was the SSR. Okay, and then
there was, uh you know, different but different jobs now, they you know, divide them up. But, he was
very busy.
NN: It does sound busy, the whole thing. The thing sounds busy. Um, okay I have a note here that says
we may have missed a couple of minutes about um, the period when your dad was the fire chief. So if
we can just rehash just a little bit of that so I have the whole story. Um, uh, you said that he was the
police chief from which years?
CVO: About 1950 to about 1963.
NN: Okay, and then how quickly was he nominated to the position of fire chief?
CVO: Like the next week. [Both laugh]
NN: Okay, okay um, and you said that uh, where was the Douglas fire truck kept?
�Candace Van Oss Part 2- Interviewed by Nathan Neitering
July 21 2018
15
CVO: Down below the Village Hall
NN: Okay, in the level, right?
CVO: Yes.
NN: Okay, one engine right? Yep, and uh, your family was involved with activating the siren can you tell
me that story one more time?
CVO: It was just a regular wall, you know, the wall switch you flip. It was in my dad’s den or his office
whatever you want to call it. But we did sometimes have, if we had overnight guests, uh, they slept in
there and so we were always telling them if you gonna feel around in the dark, you know for a light,
don't, don't, don't flip that switch.
NN: Don’t sound the alarm, right?
CVO: And like I said I put a sign over it that said, this is a fire alarm, but and like I told you before if there
was, there were like about two or three other people that did have the fire phone at their homes.
NN: Okay, okay.
CVO: But, like I said depending on who is able to answer and then a lot of times when the guys got down
there, there was a chalk board there too and when theyd get the truck out and go, they’d quick write
where the fire was so everyone else could [laughs]
NN: They would show up and say oh we have to go here, and know where to go! Right?
CVO: Yes, right.
NN: That makes a lot of sense. You have to think about what the destination is right?
CVO: Watching my dad and my friend Jackie's dad uh, if there was an alarm and they're looking for their
shoes, looking for their, you know. Oh! [laughs]
NN: He kept his gear at home? The fire, the fire, some of his fire suit, or his?
CVO: He didn't. They really didn't really have much in it, they, I think he had a hat maybe, but I cent even
remember [inaudible] He had some sort of pin.
NN: Oh! Yes. So everybody knew he was the…
CVO: Yeah!
NN: Okay, he was the chief [Laughs] okay. Thank you for revisiting that. Um, uh, let's think about the
future just for a minute we've been talking a lot about the past and these wonderful memories that,
�Candace Van Oss Part 2- Interviewed by Nathan Neitering
July 21 2018
16
and, and you know obviously you remember a lot of the detail which is, which is fabulous. Um, what are
your some of your hopes for the Saugatuck/Douglas of the future?
CVO: That it can that um, attracts other people to want to at least come and visit to uh, experience. We
have the river, the beach. Um, the, um, many different beautiful sites if you, you know if you think about
them, Mount Baldhead still attracts people and just that hopefully that they can just continue to
progress, in the, you know the, uh tourism and the friendliness, but you know, like I said it still can exert,
or whatever you want to call it the, the uh meaning of being friendly and it, sometimes it all disappears
now but we were always known as the “Village of Friendliness”. [Laughs]
NN: Yes, yes, Douglas still tries to use that from time to time, right? That motto. Um, what do you think
some of the greatest needs are that currently face the community? at this moment in time
CVO: At this moment in time. Um, I'm really not sure, it, it because it varies from to time. Um, we they
have so many things that they plan and so many things that they do. we have the socials, I attended a
social here, just a while back. They had the, the parades, every memorial day is still a big day. come out,
for the parade, yes.. and and uh, there, um, I, you know, just get a sense of pride just for the fact that
you know it's still here after all these years. I don't know a lot of the people around me, I’ll go through
the neighborhood going who lives there now, who lives there. but it, it is nice that it attracts uh,
residents and they enjoy their children's going to the school and you know that life goes on and but it's
going on very well.
NN: okay. Alright. Um, remember, we said earlier that this interview will be safe for a long time and
that's one of the wonderful things about the way that we're capturing these is we can be able to access
them long into the future. If someone listens to this recording, fifty years in the future say, what would
you most like them to know about your life?
CVO: how much I enjoyed it, how much fun it was and how um living in a small town like this, you just
knew everyone and you enjoyed day to day life it wasn't any kind of strife, you know. You know I mean
everyone had their problems. But and if you did you would all join together if there was you know, a
problem or something happens, someone um. I, I have a very tragic story if you want to hear it for a
minute, but. I had uh, neighbors when I was in, um, growing up and when I was in sixth grade so I was 12
and the neighbors had six children and they didn't keep their house too well and the kids, you know, it,
it was kind of. Their Dad drank, he worked but he, he drank a lot and the mom kind of, was kind of
lackadaisical about where the, you know the kids went. You know, where are my kids? Well one day she
went over to Saugatuck with some friends and her, the baby was 2, his name was Troy and he was a
cutie but he was always wearing just like a T-shirt and diaper [pause] and the women, for some reason
all went in the house at this place and somebody had a donkey. This is a true story, somebody had a
donkey in this corral.
NN: Okay
�Candace Van Oss Part 2- Interviewed by Nathan Neitering
July 21 2018
17
CVO: And so, one of, they left Troy out there instead of bringing in with them which I don't. [sighs] he
was 2 and someone says ‘what’s the donkey got in it’s mouth?’
NN: Oh, no.
CVO: And he had mauled, he picked Troy up the stomach, and Troy passed away the next day and the
whole town was like, you know, back then agencies didn't get all involved, it was like well the kid died,
you know but they really didn't go into, you know that I mean.
NN: Right, it was a different era.
CVO: Yes, big investigation or…
NN: Right.
CVO: it was a just tragedy. So they buried Troy and that was very sad, eight days later was our last day of
sixth grade. Troy had a brother in my class named Howard, and his sister Jean was, was, my age but she
was a year behind me and we were, Jean and I were very, very close and I remember walking home with
Howard that day after, you know, last school and he was with his buddies and he's kind of laughing stuff
that my girlfriends and I were doing. But I have, um, I had to go with my dad that day to Kalamazoo, of
all places. We had to, he had business there and then we were picking up a graduation present for
Kendall that guy I mentioned earlier. Kendall wass graduating from high school that night and we went
to a jewelry store or something and we got Kendall a gift. When we got home mother was crying, shes
waiting for the, us to get home, and my dad was, ‘what’s the matter?’ Howard drowned that afternoon
he was fishing right near where the Keewatin eventually was…
NN: Yeah
CVO: And he had hip waiters on, and he was fishing with another kid and he got pulled under and he
was only 13 and he died just 8 days after his little brother. So this whole community was, I mean
everybody was those jars, you know to help, you know and it was, when I think back to it now, I go now
they would have people investigating their, you know, the parents that, you know the this, the that, the
home life, you know what I mean. But it was, it knocked you down.
NN: well for a small town to have that tragedy twice…
CVO: twice…
NN: …a row. Uh, what was the last name?
CVO: Edwards.
NN: Edwards, okay. even as a young person I'm sure you could feel the sense of community in the
tragedy that was happening, I would think.

CVO: well, to be there in the midst of it, like when after Troy died, I remember all us kids because I, like I
said they had a lot of kids and there was Jean and Noel, and, and Howard and a little one named Sally
and a older one named Ann, and Ann's boyfriend came over after, uh the afternoon after the baby had
died, like a Saturday afternoon with a guitar and was trying to play and, you know, make us sing and
trying to cheer us up and all that. To be with Jean through all that, now I look back and I think, oh my
gosh, we were only twelve years old. I, I, you know you, Jean had said to me that second, when the
second tragedy happened she was up at the store for her mother, she, she walked home, she went
around the corner, she sees the state police at their house and she thinks, well now, now and when she
got ,and she said as she went down the hill she thought, I hope it's not my precious Noel, that was her
younger brother and when she got home [inaudible] so that was a very tragic time.
NN: Absolutely, absolutely. Um, potentially on a happier note, are there are any other stories that I
haven’t asked you about or places or people who, I mean, I'm sure there's so many things but are there
or is anything else in your mind that you want to be sure to share with us?
CVO: Well, it's like, I just, like when I go to town lots of time I go, that used to be, and they used to be
there. which my son said, he's doing now, he's a fireman for, um Saugatuck and he has to deal a lot with
the um, township. He, he, he goes to represent the fire department and he said he's feeling old now
because he’ll go, this is to be, he's telling these people that are not familiar with the area and he's going,
this is to here and that used to be there. Yeah, he and Mark Becken. I said Mark's got twenty some years
on you, you know yet even Brent is now feeling like this is used to be here, this used to be there, that
library, was, they opened it for wedding receptions and stuff I can remember it had a dance, where the
library part is now, was the dance floor…
NN: okay.
CVO: …thing and down below was a basement where it like, I remember going to a big wedding
reception there one night and the, the people were dancing up stairs and all that and then downstairs
was your food and, and otherwise I don't ever remember being an Athletic building, which they said it
was.
NN: The Douglas Athletic Center or something for a while, right, I remember hearing that. Um, so your
son Brent, you said he is, he is a firefighter. In Saugatuck?
CVO: yes he is a, um, Captain.
NN: okay, wonderful
CVO: and currently he's down, he had a back injury. Fell off a ladder, imagine that [laughs] and he
currently can’t, you know, work but he’s been on the fire department for many years and he just, you
know he’s, he really likes it a lot.
NN: Do you have any other kids?
�Candace Van Oss Part 2- Interviewed by Nathan Neitering
July 21 2018
19
CVO: yes I do. I have a son named Shannon, and Shannon is going to be 37. [Laughs] Brent’s going to be
45 in a couple of weeks. But, Shannon, uh, both boys started out, their father works, worked for years
for the Public Works, he worked for 43 years for the Saugatuck Public Works so the kids start out their
summer jobs working, both, at the public works and eventually they both, Brent first and Shannon later
on for the Kalamazoo Lake and Sewer Authority. we work field technicians doing work for that for a long
time and then press wanted to become a full time fire fighter and Shannon had enough of his water
licenses you know you have to have these testing and spending water guy and public works guy he also
said classes. we're just bothering here. so you know it's kinda funny how it worked out. the boys. you
know place is my father and their father and it was kind of a tradition generation generation. so both of
your kids are still close I there but yeah. okay. one was in Richmond. just this is a little ways should me
inside or outside. okay. alright. and just for the record. their fathers name. this is me Blair. okay. his
father was. I don't remember but it was rejected on the HTC. was talking to challenges and this is. staff.
bye. okay. so if you used to be the mayor of Florida Tech. used to go. when Brent and his cousins were
born to do your part. okay. your let sister and I had our babies up at the community. she was me. start
time. my dad was in touch. okay. that would have been in the early seven early seventies. okay. small
town like you said the whole time. yeah. yeah. wonderful. I was there anything else that we didn't
discuss. no I'm not really. bye Campbell if this is not some people. well I think one of the most important
things about this project. is that we are really trying to capture what everyday life with money and
people may say I didn't do anything special or unique but it's still web stories that all come together
about how this family relates to that when these people went to school together and you know and
that's the fabric that in fifty years or even five euros will be able to look over and stitch that together
and that's why why. we are very excited to see the storage summer project. talking about summer and
all year round. so yeah. so on campus. thank you so much for sharing your time and sharing your
memories with me. this will conclude our interview

Douglas R. Gilbert (b. 1942) is an American photographer from Michigan. He was born in Holland, Michigan and is the son of Russell W. and Carmen (Andree) Gilbert. Gilbert earned a B.A. in social sciences and art at Michigan State University in 1964, an M.S. in photography from the Institute of Design at Illinois Institute of Technology in 1972, and a M.S.W. from Salem State College in 1993. He is married to Barbara (McDonald) Gilbert, and has three daughters, Robyn, Rachel, and Anne. Gilbert took a serious interest in photography at the age of fourteen. In 1963 he joined the staff of Look magazine in New York as the second youngest photojournalist in the magazine's history. As a Look photographer from 1964 to 1966, he photographed folk musician Bob Dylan, the Newport Folk Festival, Simon and Garfunkel, the New York City Financial District, the children and facilities at the Manhattan School for Seriously Disturbed Children. From 1967 to 1969, Gilbert did several shoots, including that of folk singer Janis Ian for Life magazine. After moving to Chicago, Illinois in 1969 to attend the Illinois Institute of Technology, Gilbert conducted notable photo shoots of business and political figure Lenore Romney, and pursued more personal and artistic photography, focusing on urban and rural landscapes in Illinois and Michigan. He then joined the faculty of Wheaton College, where he taught from 1972 to 1982. In 1993, Gilbert graduated from Salem State College, Massachusetts, with a Masters in Social Work, and later pursued a second career as a psychotherapist. Throughout his photography career, he pursued both freelance commercial work as well as artistic work. His art photography is characterized by its classic black-and-white format, and features people, places and objects shot great attention and sensitivity. Gilbert's works are held in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, The Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, and the Grand Valley State University Art Galleries, as well as in numerous private and institutional collections.
