This oral history is being collected as a 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. Thank you for taking time, for the time to talk with me today I’m interested to learn more about your family history and your experiences of Summer in the Saugatuck Douglas area. Can you please tell me your full name and spell it? Renee Zita: Renee Irene Renaldi Zita. R E N E E I R E N E R E N A L D I Z I T A. DG: Thank you. So, first off is, tell me where you grew up? We’re going to talk about your time here in Saugatuck and Douglass but at first sort of how you got here and where you’re from, and how this all sort of happened. RZ: Sure. Um, I’m initially from the Southside of Chicago, Palace Heights. Grew up there, and um, my mother’s family had a summer cottage on Park Street in Saugatuck. Um, she had one sister, and two brothers and they divided the cottage up through the months of uh, July and August. Therefore, our family usually had two weeks of spending time at the cottage with my grandmother, uh, Grandma Rene, Irene…. DG: …Oh. RZ: …hence my middle name. DG: Uh, what year was it that you first came, or what year was it that? RZ: I probably came the year I was born, I was born in March, 1959 and that summer, I’m sure my mother brought me up there and up here and we spent uh, our couple weeks on the beach. DG: Great! Mhm, how was the beach then, was it the same then as it is now? RZ: [Laughs] Um, no. The beach, as I recall, there was a white, um, box structure that was the Beach House that um, had the best hamburgers that…. DG: …Oh! RZ: …She fried at the beach house and you could rent these big black inner tubes for 25 cents an hour, so that was a treat when we were able to get an inner tube to rent, we would, and it was a treat when we were able to go and get hamburgers at the Beach House, and the nicest lady, Menzie I think her name was, Lois Menzie maybe, um would be the lady and that’s how I met um, Rondy Riteman who would work at the beach house and um, they had the, I can recall the bathrooms were kind of grody but, they had these screen doors that would bang after you’d go out…. DG: Oh, yeah? �Renee Zita - Interviewed by David Geen July 23 2018 2 RZ: …of the restroom and uh, often one summer I got to spend, about four or five weeks up here because my mom had her two weeks and she became ill and um, my aunt had to take care of us, um, my sister and me for an extra two or three weeks and that summer um, I would practically walk, I’d climb up our since our cottage was on Park street, I’d walk to the beach because they didn’t get to the beach until late and we liked getting there around noon and so, we’d walk up Mount Baldy and climb down the hill to the beach, or go to the path um, back by Oxbow or the old harbor, or we’d walk up the beach road. DG: Yeah? Everyday? RZ: Practically every day. DG: That’s great. RZ: Got my steps in! DG: Got your steps in then, yeah. RZ: Okay. DG: Oh my gosh. Um, [pause] what was your favorite place to, to come to eat in the summer time? RZ: Um, probably the Beach House, because I love their hamburgers! Um, it was always fun uh, I can recall um, going to the um, the Root Beer Barrel um, and get foot long hotdogs. DG: Okay. RZ: That was always, uh, exciting, or…. DG: …and where was that sitting? RZ: That was on Center Street, probably between Blue Star and Ferry Street. DG: Oh, right there, okay. RZ: Yes…. DG: …Yeah…. RZ: …it’s original…. DG: The original location. RZ: …there’s aerial photos of where it was, so I remember that, and um, our other favorite thing would be to go get ice cream at the drugstore. DG: Okay, the counter in the back? �Renee Zita - Interviewed by David Geen July 23 2018 3 RZ: At the counter, and actually I can still recall the counter being in front. DG: Oh. RZ: Before it was put back there. I’m pretty sure it was [phone rings] I’m sorry, I’m pretty sure it was out front, um and then we, my cousins and us would often go there and have water fights and, um, back in the um, back in the um, the room, uh, and just getting ice cream, chocolate, my favorite was the Hudsonville chocolate ice cream with chocolate fudge. DG: Oh my god, that sounds great. RZ: And that was a treat. DG: Yeah? RZ: So.. DG: Did you ever come over to Douglas at all or no? RZ: Um, yes. There was a donut shop in Douglas that I loved going to. DG: Oh! I never heard about this. RZ: It was where Wild Dog is now. DG: Okay. RZ: …and, it, they had the best glazed donuts, so we’d go over there sometimes to get a, donuts in the morning and it would frustrate me when, if you didn’t get there by 9 o’clock he was sold out and I would be like ‘Well why don’t you make more donuts!’ If you know you’re going to be, uh, on the weekends. You know? But anyway, they were, they were very good. So, um, and now my favorite place in the morning is to go to Pumpernickel’s. DG: Oh. RZ: Uh, my mom would always order uh, uh, a box full of uh, different sweet, sweets and Larry would be so funny he’d put um, ants on them sometimes as a, as a tease and uh, a surprise or bugs, or flies, whatever, so. DG: That’s fun. RZ: Yeah, that was always fun. He was, for some of his um, patron customers he would often play little jokes, he had a sense of hu-humor like that, so. �Renee Zita - Interviewed by David Geen July 23 2018 4 DG: Oh my gosh, and so, how was the, how did you go from, like coming the for two weeks in the summer until, [pause] longer? [Inaudible] RZ: So, my mother loved it here so much that um, she wanted to, um spend the summer here. DG: Okay. RZ: So she branched off and bought her own place…. DG: …Okay…. RZ: …in 1983 probably as well as one of my other uncles, uh, Connie and Richard Vacco went off and bought their own place down on uh, Lakeshore Drive in Fennville. DG: Okay. RZ: …In the early 80’s um, so then my mom had her place and…. DG: …On Park Street…. RZ: …On Park Street and Perryman…. DG: ..Yep…. RZ: …and she, we spent more time there, but now I was starting a family myself, and um, my then husband John and I loved it so much and we were blessed enough to be able to afford a little home so we branched off and bought our own home…. DG: Oh. RZ: …On Campbell Street, which was Inez Campbell’s home. We bought it from her in 198 [pause] 6, ’87. DG: Okay. RZ: …and had that home for eight years, and came up here and summered all the time…. DG: Oh great…. RZ: …Ourselves, and then uh, from there we, we built a bigger home down on the Kalamazoo River. DG: Yeah. RZ: …and now, my current home, uh is on 98th by Park Street. DG: Back on Park Street. �Renee Zita - Interviewed by David Geen July 23 2018 5 RZ: …Back on Park Street, where…. DG: …Where you belong…. RZ: …Where I belong. Where I belong, where my mother’s, unfortunately she passed a couple years ago, and her ashes are now spread, um, at her cottage and at our family cottage. DG: Oh. RZ: …and maybe a little bit at my house around a tree, so…. DG: How nice. RZ: Yes. DG: Yeah. Um, let’s see. Do you have any other special memories of this area that you’d like to talk about for the, for this, uh, interview? RZ: Well, my special memories are spending lots of times with our family and cousins and also my children, um, summering here with me and, um, they’re working. They worked at the beach as lifeguards…. DG: …Oh did they?.. RZ: …and um, they, it would be a lot of fun when we’d sit at the beach, and they would be, um, on rotation, and every, every twenty five or forty minutes they’d get a break and then they’d come sit with us and we’d bring them their hot dogs for lunch…. DG: …Were they, all three life guards?.. RZ: …Jason, Justin, and Jonathon at one time, yes, were all, so that’s how they all got to become good friends with Katie Frisk, or Katie Herber at the time, she was the beach…. DG: …She was a lifeguard…. RZ: … Well, she, she did the gatehouse. DG: Oh. RZ: So she would report to them when, ah, Denny, would, would, was showing up. Say get, get the…. DG: When the boss was coming. RZ: Alert! Alert! The boss is here. DG: Oh my gosh. �Renee Zita - Interviewed by David Geen July 23 2018 6 RZ: They’d have their codes, but they’ve all become very good friends. DG: When did the Lifeguards stop on the beach? I remember first coming here and they were still there, but I didn’t know any of them… [Over RZ] were your sons. RZ: ..Probably the, [pause] in the 90’s, late 90’s. DG: I guess. RZ: Yeah. DG: Yeah. RZ: No! They did it all through High School, no, so, they finished high school in, the, maybe the early 2000’s. DG: The lifeguards stopped. RZ: Yes, probably because…. DG: Well, even your youngest was a lifeguard…. RZ: No, Jeffery was not, no, so, he didn’t graduate 8th grade until 2010 or so. DG: [Speaking over RZ] Too young. RZ: Right, so, um, yeah. DG: Well that’s fun. RZ: One of my memories is, getting all dolled up to go dancing at the Old Crow. DG: The Old Crow had dancing. RZ: The Old Crow, oh yeah. There was a line to get into the Old Crow back in…. DG: After the pavilion, of course. RZ: Oh, yeah! Way after. My mother would go to the pavilion, I would go to the Old Crow, and that was probably in the late 70’s that we were old enough to get in there, and some of us weren’t old enough.. DG: [Laughs] RZ: …would get in there too. There were multiple Renee Renaldi’s in there because I was one of the first ones to turn 18, and that was a paper driver’s license. So just brown hair, brown eyes and most of us Italian girls were brown hair, brown eyes. �Renee Zita - Interviewed by David Geen July 23 2018 7 DG: So you would get dressed up to the Old Crow. RZ: Oh yeah, not so much to drink but to dance and meet boys. DG: Oh, fun. RZ: Yeah. DG: Yeah. Do you remember any specifically, uh, that you could tell us any of the boys that you, uh…. RZ: No, not from me, but my cousin Irene was madly in love with um, Mariano or some…uh, I forgot his first name. DG: Okay. RZ: She would be um, a good person to interview. DG: Oh, yeah, well that sounds like a story. RZ: Yes! Yes, so we’d always have to wait and um, there was always a bouncer party after the Old Crow would close. DG: Oh. RZ: …And Irene would be asking her dad permission to stay out, and that wouldn’t be until 1 or 2 in the morning. DG: Oh, late. RZ: …and my uncle was not too keen on that. ‘Please, dad can we go to the bouncer party!’. DG: The after hour’s party. RZ: [Laughs] Yeah, so…. DG: Oh my gosh. RZ: Yeah, so. DG: That’s in the Coral Gables, like on the, was it…. RZ: That was on the other building where, where um, what’s the long building? DG: The annex? RZ: The annex, yes. �Renee Zita - Interviewed by David Geen July 23 2018 8 DG: It was in there? RZ: The bouncer party, I think it would just be outside the Annex or something. DG: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, like the after party. RZ: Yes. DG: Oh, fun. RZ: Yeah, so that was uh, my my, uh the, the guy I had a crush on was Johnny Fox. DG: Johnny Fox? RZ: …and he would, I met him at the beach. DG: Okay. RZ: …and his father was the um, do you know who he is? DG: No. RZ: Oh. He’s pretty reputable in the area, he’s an artist and…. DG: Okay…. RZ: ..he would come down to the beach, he had long blond hair and…. DG: Oh. RZ: …um, he ah, would surf at the beach and I don’t know we met him down there, and um, one day he, we, I don’t know, but I don’t know but I think maybe he might have had a crush on me but we went on the paddle boat together. DG: Oh! Okay. RZ: He kissed me on my cheek, so…. [Both laugh] RZ: That was big, that was probably one of my first kisses. DG: I, I wonder if he’s still around? RZ: He is! He lives up on, up on the hill. �Renee Zita - Interviewed by David Geen July 23 2018 9 DG: Oh, okay. RZ: Him and his wife. DG: John Fox. RZ: Yeah. He did the Indian head at, at the school? He’s an artist here in town, and um, yeah! So that’s a memory. DG: That’s great. RZ: Aunt Marie, going to the Dutch Village and you know, going on the rides there and um…. DG: Fun. RZ: Going on the paddle boats, and the and back then it was not the Queen of Saugatuck but it was the Island Queen. . DG: Oh, yeah. RZ: …ran by Mr. Hoffman I believe, Dick Hoffman was his name I think, who ran that. Peewee golf, so those are all special treats when got to go peewee golfing and you know it wasn’t just…. DG: …Where was it, was there a little miniature golf here? RZ: Yeah! It was where um, the park is, um [pause] um [pause] Wicks Park, right there was a peewee golf…. DG: Oh. RZ: …area, yeah. DG: Okay, wow. RZ: So, and that’s where the Island Queen sat, right there, next to the ship and shore. DG: Oh, over there. RZ: On the opposite side. DG: Huh. RZ: Yeah, so. DG: Great. �Renee Zita - Interviewed by David Geen July 23 2018 10 RZ: Picture, I have pictures of that as well. DG: Well that’s neat. [Inaudible] DG: Um [pause] what else can we add, anything? [Pause] In what ways has the area changed over time since you’ve been coming here? RZ: Well, um, I think it’s become much more um, uh, well I guess been, always been a summer resort for people. Lots have changed, the structures, more restaurants, more shopping, I think there’s more people that have retired here. In fact, in our family, there’s my cousin Paula just retired here, my cousin um, [pause] Carla and her husband are now looking…. DG: …Okay…. RZ: with Bill at the homes, to retire here so, um I think it’s become more of a retirement…. DG: …more of a retirement place. RZ: Yes, and it’s just a wonderful resort area, with lots of wonderful people…. DG: …Mhm…. RZ: …and lots of nice shopping, and food. DG: Good! Um, well I think that’s everything that I have right now. Okay? Thank you. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Thank you for taking the time to talk with me today, I’m interested to learn more about your family history and your experiences of summer in the Saugatuck Douglas area. Can you please tell me your full name and spell it? Philip Walter: Philip P H I L I P George G E O R G E Walter W A L T E R. KK: Okay, thank you. Uh, PG [pronounced PEEGUH] tell me about where you grew up? PW: Starting in 1946, my family purchased a 2 story commercial residential building on Butler Street in Saugatuck and from then till basically I got married in 1966 that is what I considered my residence. Um, after 1963 or ’64 I was pretty much living in the Lansing area but, again still considered the Butler Street home my home. KK: Okay, good. Uh, tell me some, well, I know your family goes way back. PW: Yes. KK: So, why don’t you tell me a little bit about how far back your family goes here? PW: Well, my mother’s parents moved here, I believe it was in 1888 and was, were one of the first families in Fishtown and I have given the Historical Society a copy of a letter that my, who would be my grandfather sent back to his parents in York Pennsylvania about the difficulties in fishing in the winter and things like that. Then in, I think 1906, when the new piers were put in, Fishtown basically was deserted then and the families, I don’t know where they all scattered to but the Sewers family basically all moved onto Lake Street in Saugatuck, um, several of the old buildings in Fishtown were put on rafts or barges and taken down to the summer school of painting, Oxbow and used there for various things and [pause] that takes care of pretty much the Fishtown era. Um, [coughs] my grandparents had a house on Lake Street, uh, as you’re going out of town, right on the corner it would’ve been on the right hand side. My mother’s brother Frank lived in the large white house, I’ll call it for lack of a better word, the awning house, um, for as long as can remember. His brother, twin brother, Rube lived on the West side of Lake street about 5 or 6 houses up towards town in the house that has kind of a little peaked entrance to which the historical commission gave permission to basically saw the back end of the house off and add a huge house to it. Um, in 1946 my mother and father bought, from my Uncle Rube the aforementioned commercial residential building downtown at 237 Butler Street and he at that time, my father, started a clothing store in the front of the building and my mother started her one chair beauty shop in the back of the building. We lived upstairs, in the back, in a large apartment and my mother’s uh, old maid sister Florence Sewers, called Aunts Toots by everybody lived in the one bedroom apartment in the front end of the building upstairs and again, that was occupied until eventually my family sold the building to Stub and Sue Lewis of East of the Sun in 1968. KK: Okay, and the name of which building is that? Is that? Well, yeah, sure? PW: It’s Sinbad now. KK: Yeah. Okay, thank you. Um, what are some of your most vivid memories from being a kid? And I know you said you went to school here in the Old Schoolhouse. �Philip Walter – Interviewed by Ken Kutzel June 2 2018 2 PW: Yeah, I was in the Old Schoolhouse and um, was confused the morning that family did not, my mother didn’t wake me up to get ready to go to school and was told that the school had burned down. I was in 2nd grade at that time and we finished 2nd grade in the now apartment condominium building at the top of the hill at the four-way stop in Saugatuck. We finished 2nd grade there, I think there was another class in that building also. [Coughs] We did 3rd grade in the basement of the Congregational Church and then by 4th grade, the new school built on the site of the old school was ready for occupancy and that’s where I started the rest of my school term. Um. [00:5:31] KK: So that’s right, you actually went to school in Saugatuck. PW: Yes. KK: Not here in Douglas. PW: Yes. KK: Okay, uh, just to clarify that. Um, and you know is there anything more you can tell me about your family or your family history or have you pretty much covered it? PW: Well, I pretty much covered it, the Sewers’ is all stayed, the Sewers’ and their extended Sewers family all stayed in commercial fisherman, fishing until essentially the commercial fishing industry just collapsed and the, the Sewers twins, who were my mother’s brothers they of course were very elderly at that time, but uh, the son Bud and the son of George Sewer, Jim Sewers he and his brother Jack commercially fished here for quite a while so, essentially the whole Sewers family. Um, at least the sewers side of it was all in commercial fishing. KK: Okay, can you share any particular memories about living here, things or moments that are especially memorable for you? Uh, I know you witnessed the pavilion burning. PW: Yeah. Yeah. KK: You’re in the video. PW: Yep. Yeah. That, that is probably the most memorable event of all. [Laughs] But, my father was a volunteer fireman and so I remember when Leland Lodge burned, I remembered when the building next to Kilwins burned and I remember when Holiday Hill burned, and I remembered when the Mount Baldhead Hotel burned and Gary Depenhorse and I lost a job when that happened for a while because we were uh, back then, and I always get a laugh when I see the ads for the longest serving chain ferry in Michigan we were actually rowing square end wood scaus across to take people back and forth across the river for I think it was either 15 or 20 cents, I forget what the price was. But uh, so I guess the fires are, are more than anything else, the rest of it was just a kid growing up. We, we all spent all of our summers on the river, either in boats we built or boats we cobbled together or with our little two horse sea kings you know, we were off to cruise the world as far as we were concerned. But, um, I would say definitely the fires, and then the crowds in the summer, of course, too were quite an event because I would sit upstairs in the window of my Aunt Toots apartment in one of the windows over Butler Street and of course watch the surge of people going back and forth and of course the Police breaking things �Philip Walter – Interviewed by Ken Kutzel June 2 2018 3 up and everything. So I really had a window on the world in downtown Saugatuck and it was quite interesting. KK: Yeah, that’s interesting, um, how long was the season because I know you know when we think about it now, uh, people start coming here real early in the spring and stay quite late. How long was the, the tourist season here? PW: My father always used to say, because being the dry cleaner he would see the people from Chicago coming up and what would happen most of the time is the, the husbands of the family were still wearing suits to work and they’d bring their suits up and he’d dry clean then and they’d pick them up the next time they were back. But he always said the Fourth of July really was the start of the summer and then literally the day after Labor Day, uh, the city set up tables um, right down the middle of Butler Street between Maplewood and at that time, Koning Hardware and there was a town potluck. The day after Labor Day. KK: Yeah, and that was it? PW: Yep. That was it. There was just nobody in town. KK: Yeah but, the downtown was still, was kind of active because it wasn’t so touristy, wasn’t it at the time, or? PW: Well it was active only as a function of the people who lived in town. It wasn’t that there was people from out of town. KK: Right. PW: Coming in so. KK: Okay, um, [pause] how aware uh, how aware were you of the Art’s School meaning Oxbow and what went on there? Living in town? PW: I was aware of it because my mother and friends of hers when they were in late high school posed a lot of times for them, au natural in some cases which of course raised a lot of eyebrows of people in town and um, I actually had a couple of postcards once but somewhere they disappeared. They had a, they had an old Model T truck or something, not like Frank Wicks had but a similar thing and the girls had done a lot of posing on it that like, you know, laying across a fender or something like that and one of these postcards, which I think did not get a lot of circulation was two girls including my mother in the nude on that, so. Uh, that would’ve been oh, in the [pause] well let’s see probably in the 30’s, ‘20s and ‘30s. [00:10:29] KK: Yeah, okay. PW: Just guessing, and that was my only real knowledge of it except [laughs] they had a fire in the dunes over there one time, and of course the Saugatuck Volunteer Fire Department responded to it and, Oxbow was so grateful they said that they would have a pot luck for the fireman and their families, and anybody else that wanted to come along and just in, and I was with my father and Bill Wilson and uh, Garth Wilson and a couple other guys when they were having this conversation and they said um, the �Philip Walter – Interviewed by Ken Kutzel June 2 2018 4 girls would like to play you in volleyball and we think they can beat you and the fireman just kind of laughed and we went our way. Well we got to the, we got to the party and uh, they played volleyball but the girls played topless [laughing] They beat the fireman so, that’s how, I guess liberated Oxbow was. KK: Well…. PW: …From my limited perspective. KK: I’m glad you brought that up because others have said that, you know a lot of those rumors about strange things going on there were true and I think that’s good that for the future that people ‘yeah it was real open I guess, from what I understand’. Um. PW: And of course, just as an aside note, Mary Kay Bettles was chasing us out of there uh, if we tried to fish or something. KK: Yeah, the sheriff? PW: Yeah right the sheriff of Oxbow-ham. KK: Oh boy, um, let’s see [pause] what did, what what, what did you do for a living here? PW: Um, [paused] well first I mowed lawns, when I was a kid and then when I turned 16, in the summer I would drive the dry cleaning truck for my father and then in the evening I would work the back bar cashier’s station at the Coral Gables, the back bar being the bar that was back on the river. And um, just cause my mother and Vy Fox knew each other very well, course Vy had her hair cut by my mother there, as did most of the women in town, and um, that was essentially it. I was ether drive the dry cleaning truck or, and before I had a license um, I was just doing work in the dry cleaning plant for my father in the summer, um, and that could get to be a very hot place of course, everything was driven by steam, the presses and everything else so, but that was my summer job. KK: Um, can you describe, like what are some of the greatest changes in the area, I mean, you’ve been here for your whole life. What are some of the, things that you like about that changed or don’t like about it, or, are just really different? I mean besides, you know you talked about the uh, the short season. PW: Yeah, well the thing that, [pause] there’s really nothing that I dislike. Change happens, I mean that’s just, that’s a given, um, we’re lucky were a harbor town and we have some of the things because in my, in my career, which really isn’t pertinent to this, but I’ve been in front of about 50 different municipalities in Michigan, zoning and land use issues and there are a lot of small towns around that just, they would, they would give their left arm to have the type of cash and everything that Saugatuck generates. The thing that I, I’ll be very candid with you, the thing that I don’t like, and of course it gets me in trouble a lot, is that I don’t like new people coming into town and saying well this is the way we think it should be and um, my, I, I’ve been zoning administrator in Douglas 3 times and have been fired from that position 3 times and one of the things that would get me fired is that people would come in and say ‘Well we’ve been visiting here for 40 year and we think we should have some say’ in you know zoning and stuff like that and I would say, politely, ‘Well my family has lived here continuously for 127 years, we do have say in what happens here’ and, that would get me fired occasionally [laughs] so. That is my biggest headache, personally, about people that we’re here now and we want nothing to change from here on out. But if it hadn’t changed to that point, we wouldn’t have come here. �Philip Walter – Interviewed by Ken Kutzel June 2 2018 5 [00:15:14] KK: Right. PW: Were here now, we don’t want anybody else to come and that’s what bothers me. KK: Okay. Um, you know, because this is supposed to be about summer memories and all that, are there any special things you can tell us about summer. I mean, I know you talked about you you fooled around on the river and that with the boats but, and any other special things about summer? PW: [Pause] Well, as kids we were just footloose and fancy free. My typical summer evening, um, a lot of my close friends all had families that either worked or had businesses literally right downtown. Within the two or three blocks of downtown. That’s where there jobs were and at 5 o’clock or 6 o’clock all the couples would go over, my mother and father, Ward and Betty Martin, and Val Smith postmaster and his wife and you know, names that I can’t even remember now. They had what they called the 5 o’clock club over at the Coral Gables and they would all go over there and they would each give their kids $1 and for that we’d go down the street, to either Ms. Balls restaurant or across the street from my house to Mrs., Ms. Simmons restaurant and for 60 some odd cents we’d get a blue plate special with a pork chop and green beans and mashed potatoes and everything else and then a movie [coughs] at the big pavilion, and there was a new one every night, was 12 cents and a bag of popcorn was either a nickel or a dime, something like that. So, for a dollar our parents had a 2 and a half, 3 hour baby sitter just built right in and they, they knew where we were all the time. We were either at one of these restaurants or we were watching the movie. And on Monday nights down at the, uh, at the um, tennis courts, every Monday night there’d be a square dance and there’d be a painter in front of the building which is now the ‘Always going out of business’ . KK: Oh yeah. PW: Downtown that would paint oil paintings every night from scratch, he’d just start painting the scenery or something like that, and the most funny thing I can remember about that is he had lights of course on and it would attract mosquitos and the mosquitos were always getting caught in the oil paint. He’d had to flick them off and… KK: …Yeah. Was that Hasselbar who was doing that? PW: Haven’t the foggiest. KK: Okay, because I know there was a guy named Hasselbar that used to sit in the street and do them. That might have been him. You know, uh, you’ve been here a long time and I’ve talked with other people about the difference, geographically, and what I mean by that is, I’ve heard stories all like from the Belvedere you could see downtown because there went really trees. Can you talk about that a little bit? What what did it look like, because now when you see photos of Saugatuck it’s just full of trees. Were there as many trees? PW: I think there were as many trees, I think they had just not grown up to the point that they have now and it’s just something that, it’s strange that you mention that because I used to work in Kalamazoo and um, in the, in the 80’s coming back from Kalamazoo, at the top of the uh M89 hill before you drop down to Blue Star Highway you could see Lake Michigan, well now you can’t because it’s all just huge tree �Philip Walter – Interviewed by Ken Kutzel June 2 2018 6 foliage out there. And even driving some of the country roads, you know, roads where you used to be able to see the sky, trees are now overhanging it and I think that’s it. KK: Yeah. PW: It’s just the natural course of things. KK: True of anywhere. PW: Yeah. KK: Right. But it’s just kind of interesting because I know, even when I’ve looked at photos, it just looked different. PW: Yeah, and well probably, well, that was it was coming out of the timber era of the late 1800’s. So there weren’t a lot of big trees around, and it took them a while to get back to that point again. KK: Do you remember the music festivals or the motorcycle groups or the races, I mean what, did you participate in any of that? PW: What races are you talking about? KK: Well, I think, weren’t there motorcycle races or there, wasn’t there a racetrack just outside of town? PW: Oh yeah, Air Park Speedway. KK: Yes. PW: Yes, yeah I, my father, my father would take me to that all the time. Ev Thomas was the uh, announcer and of course Ev was, no matter what Ev did it was funny and he’d talk about the old ’37 Ford coming around the corner with its door flapping and stuff like that. Well that was about it because they were racing jalopy’s on a dirt track and um, my father when we got out of the uh, Air Force got a pilot’s license and he would fly out of that little airport and the um, the headquarters of the airport was that building that sits right out on the road now, and still does, just just south of the entrance that goes into the estate that’s back in there now and the old Air Park Speedway property and he would fly just a Piper Cub and you know, he’d he’d sit in the front seat and I’d sit in the back and that’s how wide it was, it wasn’t two seats wide. And um, the um, there were no motorcycle races, there was the um, the road race, the called the Saugatuck or the Oval Hill Climb which I partici-participated in all of its years. Took several trophies, where you basically raced from the bottom of the first hill to the top of the last and because you could get going quite fast through there, um, there were pylon set up you had to slow down and get through them cause you’d lose 5 second if you hit a pylon that would cost you literally first place in your event if you hit one of those. The thing that a lot of people don’t believe is that in one of the races there was a guy that was down from Holland with a uh, a Corvette called Der fliegende Hollände or the Flying Dutchman, highly souped up and I had my dad’s 8mm movie camera, I’d asked if I could ride through with him and that was back, well we wore seatbelts, we didn’t have helmets or anything and we went up first hill and down into the valley of the second and then going up towards the gate there was a pylon she had to go through, slow down before got up to the gate, just before we got to those pylons and we were going 107 miles an hour in that Corvette on the Oval Road. [00:21:14] �Philip Walter – Interviewed by Ken Kutzel June 2 2018 7 KK: Wow. PW: A lot of people just, you know they just can’t believe that but. KK: Does the film exist? PW: No, we got going so fast, I just, I could hold the camera up. I was back in my seat like this and I was forward in my seat like that when he got on the brakes and uh, I would be, I would be right at the top of third gear with my, uh, ’65 Corvair, I’d be about 83 or 84 miles an hour you know, and that’s flying on the Oval Road and after a while people that didn’t know what they were doing would come and they’d get out of control and they’d bang up the guardrail post so the Saugatuck just called it off. KK: Yeah. PW: It ran from about ’66 to maybe ’71 ’72 something like that, I know it stopped. Which is probably a good thing. KK: Yeah, probably. Do you remember the um, the rock festivals, the two of them on Potawatomi Beach? PW: No. Not at all. KK: You don’t? PW: No. KK: Okay. Do you remember the crowds? PW: I don’t, you know, do you know when those were? KK: Yeah! Ah, ’68 and ’69? PW: Oh yeah, no I wouldn’t have been here then. KK: Oh okay. PW: No, I mean would’ve been, I might have been here, you know for a weekend or something. KK: Yeah. PW: But I lived in Lansing at that time. KK: Oh okay, well that really um, I didn’t know that. Um, and let’s see. You know I have a question for you PG [pronounced PEEGUH] How involved were people in Saugatuck with what went on in Douglas? In other words, did people go back and forth a lot? No. And the reason I’m asking this is Jane VanDiss had the same reaction you did. She said ‘we just never went there’. PW: We would go, just because my family ate out a lot because they both worked, all day. We would go to what is now Everyday People Café. KK: Yeah. �Philip Walter – Interviewed by Ken Kutzel June 2 2018 8 PW: Um, I forget the owner back then, Bill somebody. I have a picture, I don’t think I brought it along with me but I have a picture of a birthday party I had there when I was like 5 or 6 years old, and you can see on the side the exact same décor that’s there now. Those shelves built into the wall that have that Depression glass. I don’t know if they’re still like that. I haven’t been there for long time. KK: Yeah, sort of an Art Deco look. I have a question for you, um, in going to Douglas do you remember the Greyson School of Painting at all? PW: No. KK: Okay, because there was a little building back, one picture I know of exists of it, and I always ask that question because it’s something I’m very interested in. PW: Something that I’m sure a lot of people know but just don’t think about, um, and when I bring it up they’re surprised. They um, the uh, Red Barn Theatre got its start in the little building down the hill from Joyce Petters on Lawn Street and most people don’t know that. KK: Yeah, yeah I did know that. PW: In fact I’ve got a Red Barn program in there that I’m going to give to you that has, has me as of the players. KK: Oh! Who were you in the? PW: I was one of the dead people in the cemetery in Our Town. So I didn’t have a speaking part, but Dave Showers and I got to play two of the dead people and we were just sitting in chairs while the play is you know, going, going on in front of us. KK: Oh, oh, that’s fun. That’s fun. Uh, what are some of your hopes for the future for here and for the community? PW: To be honest I haven’t even thought about it. KK: You just seem like you’re happy here. PW: My hopes, well yeah I am, my hopes for the future, I can’t imagine living anywhere else. I can’t imagine having these kinds of, I mean how many places you get to live where a huge building burns down you know every two, every two years or something like that? Even the Leeland Lodge and stuff like that, buildings people don’t even remember anymore. KK: Uh, remembering that this interview will be saved for a long time, when someone listens to this thing 50 years from now, what would you like them uh, to know most about your life in the community right now? [00:25:09] PW: [Pause] That I always tried to be a thorn in somebodies side. [Both laugh] KK: That’s probably how, ‘Oh PG Walter, oh yeah, we remember him” so, you know the, when the council is having trouble getting the expansion of Blue Star put together in the ’96 whenever the heck �Philip Walter – Interviewed by Ken Kutzel June 2 2018 9 that was, I mean there was just, there was a lot of people just adamant Joyce Petter and everything didn’t want it and the Council was fighting and Deb Couty called me one day and she said ‘PG you need to come and talk to George Baker and I’, I said okay. They wanted to hire me, basically a gun fighter to come in and get the squabbling solved, and they did, and I did and um, there’s probably not a lot of people around that would have the temperament to do something like that but mine, mine is like that. You know when you’ve been in front of literally, one of my best friends in Lansing, in fact he almost got me in trouble once at a court hearing we were at, was uh, oh god, Mike, can’t think of his last name, ex Supreme Court Justice, geez. Mike Cavanagh he was a Lansing City Attorney when I was doing developing work up in Lansing so we knew each other quite well and uh, you know, it’s just, it’s just, when you, when you revolve, revolve and evolve around people like that and see all the things that I’ve seen in zoning across 50 municipalities, you just get a, you get an instinct for what’s going on that’s right and what’s wrong within municipalities and even though they think what they’re doing is right, after I spent 2 months with them, they fire their professional planner out of Royal Oak Michigan because it’s just no doing it, they’ve written a lousy new Ordinance and charging them 50,000 to do it and so, I, I get under peoples skin there’s just no question about it and its just the way I am. KK: Well, there are people that like you! [Both laugh] PW: Well, good! KK: Uh, anything else that you’d like to share that I maybe haven’t asked you about? And I know you brought some stuff, was there something in particular, you know that you want to share? PW: Well I was just piling stuff in here because its stuff that I want to have end up here anyway. Its stuff that didn’t make it into the uh, didn’t make it into the, most of it is all just paper stuff. This is my dad pushing a barrel that said Community Cleaners on it in one of the Memorial Day parades, many many moons ago and these are things that I have no use for anymore, period, so I just as soon not take them home. KK: Well, yeah, we very much appreciate anything that’s shared with us, so. PW: This is my mother and father in Chicago in 1938. This is my mother just washed the car on Pearl Harbor Day. KK: Oh wow. PW: Um, these are more of my father’s thing in Fennville, and it’s got a tab there. You may have this book in your file or system somewhere. KK: Oh, great. Oh that’s great PG. PW: Class of ’60. KK: Uh huh. PW: A somewhere rare postcard because they realized their mistake and didn’t print a lot of them, it’s an interesting view but look at the…. �Philip Walter – Interviewed by Ken Kutzel June 2 2018 10 KK: Oh the Muskegon River. PW: Yeah, yeah. KK: Yes. Yeah, that’s wonderful. PW: And this is just one I think looking at the cars this was probably taken in 1957 or so, Butler Street. That’s me and Fred Gores, appointed to Boys State. KK: Oh my gosh you know that’s so funny, I really have to look to see you in here. Well I’ve always known you with a mustache and that so. Well, that’s great. PW: This is um, one of the Venetian night, shows the old Butler and that happened to be our boat. KK: Oh! PW: Just because I’ve been around here so long I’m in 4 postcards. KK: Yeah. PW: Um, my mother is in 6 and I’ll never beat her record I’m afraid. These are, I can’t this book that I took these out of because I was going to take these to various people. But this is from the ‘50s I think. KK: Okay. Oh yeah. Well, you know what, the pavilion gone so it’s got to be after ’60. PW: Oh yeah, right, right, okay. I was just looking at the, the stories of the Butler but, yeah I should’ve realized that, considering the day it was. This was the High School band in the late ‘50’s. KK: Oh that’s fun. PW: This is really old. [Pause] [Inaudible] Well anyway the names are all on the back. I know you like to have those kinds of things. [00:30:10] KK: Oh yeah. PW: My Aunt Toots’ ID and everything from the Order of Eastern Star there, 50th anniversary, golden anniversary book. KK: Oh! Oh, that’s neat. PW: Commemorative map, ’76. Oh, here’s the Red Barn Theatre. Got a lot of interesting ads in there from places that of course, no longer exist. I know what they all are. KK: Yeah. PW: What does it say, Philip Walter? Philip Walter. I was Wally Web. [Laughs] sitting by myself, there were other bodies in the cemetery too. Well this is just the fact that I got out of the 2nd grade in 1948. KK: Oh that’s fun. PW: Back before there was the um, uh radar tower, the Sea Scouts used to have to take the cable up. �Philip Walter – Interviewed by Ken Kutzel June 2 2018 11 KK: Oh! PW: For the power, for the star every year and that’s a bunch of us, myself included. KK: Are you the one that told me the story about unplugging the lights? PW: Oh, sloppy mountain? KK: Yeah. Well why don’t you tell that story. PW: Well, we uh, me and kids um, the star of course was all white lightbulbs. And they were just incandescent 1600 watt screw in bulbs just like you’d have in your house. KK: Yeah and you’re talking about the start on top of Mount Baldhead. PW: Yeah, yes. And the Christmas tree in Douglas had all colored lights on it, but they were all, all the same as like the screw in at your house. So we got the great idea one night we start swapping those bulbs out and um, we started doing it and we were doing it in stages, because we didn’t want to just get caught up there, we thought we’d do 6 or 8, 10 12 a time whatever there was and the, we were taking them out of the tree in Douglass, and the police showed up and um, the police department at that time was in a little side annex wing of the Maplewood Hotel right there on Butler street and uh, the McCrea’s had the, had the hotel and Bobby McCrea was the dispatcher, and she said that a woman had called in and said that it was a sign that Jesus was come back or something because the light on the star on Mount Baldhead was changing colors, so. That’s what got us in trouble, had she not made that phone call, we probably would’ve done our 2 or 3 more trips and got them all swapped out. KK: Oh that’s funny. PW: We got, you know, we kind of got a reprimand but we didn’t get thrown in jail or anything like that so. KK: One last question I have for you, uh, are you aware at all of Walkers Landing? PW: Yes. Just that it exists. KK: Did you know anything about it? PW: Zero. KK: Yeah, okay. Well it’s just something I’m doing research on, so I’m asking. PW: We would go, you know when we were when we used to uh, uh, spear a lot of carp and we would haul them up river to the rendering works uh, by the 58th street bridge and we would get, I think a penny a pound or 2 cents a pound and on a good day we’d get 25, 30 bucks cause we’d haul 2 or 3 full boat loads of dead carp up there for the, and we’d go by Walkers Landing but I, I had no connection or idea. KK: Okay! Was curious. Okay well, um. PW: Here. You probably have a copy of this too but it’s just things that, you know, should end up here. �Philip Walter – Interviewed by Ken Kutzel June 2 2018 12 KK: Well that, you know that will go in the archive and uh, no that’s great and thank you for bringing these things. PW: and this was just a personal item. This is my script for the play I was in, that was happening two days after the big pavilion burned. ED Lambers was afraid we weren’t going to be able to get it pulled off because of the…that was the senior play. KK: The, the title is funny. In that context. PW: I never thought about it that way but that’s right just 2 or 3 days. KK: Okay, well I want to thank you for coming in today, I really do PG [pronounced PEEGUH] and anything else you want to share? PW: I think I shared this with you about the day the big pavilion first, course, I’m, I’m on the CD or whatever it is, but, my mother realized [coughs] because of the heat of the fire, that the fireman were literally getting sunburned and she ran into the drugstore and Dick Snyder who was the Pharmacist at the time or half owner or whatever he was. She just, you know, my mother being my mother she just said ‘Dick I want all the sunburn ointment you’ve got.’ And he starts and he says ‘Well Lucille what kind of sunburn are you trying to treat?’ she says ‘Just give me all the goddamn sunburn stuff you’ve got!’ [Laughing] so she loaded it up in a big bad and took it over and they just smeared it all on their faces and their arms and everything because it, you know, it was breaking windows on places across the street from it. KK: Yeah, from the heat. PW: Yep. KK: Okay, thank you. PW: Yeah, you’re very welcome.
