Bennett Ainsworth S. P. Bennett Fuel and Ice Company Interviewed on October 1, 1971 Edited and indexed by Don Bryant, 2010 – bryant@wellswooster.com Tape #24 (31:59) Biographical Information Calvin Bennett Ainsworth was born 3 December 1890 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Interments in Oak Hill Cemetery in Grand Rapids. ___________ Interviewer: Were you born in Grand Rapids? Mr. Ainsworth: Yes, yes I was. I was born in Grand Rapids. I don‟t remember the house because I was too young, moved away from there as a small boy or as an infant probably. It was on Washington and we moved away from there to James Street, two fifty-four James. And that is where I grew up-my early, early days of my life. In fact I… after I left college, my family moved to five forty-nine South College, and we lived there and sold that house to the Park Congregational Church. It‟s kind of unusual because I had another house on Madison. I sold that to the church-the colored church and Mayor Parks lives there now. He‟s a minister of this church and also the mayor of the city-a very nice house. Well, then I moved out here three years ago and been living here ever since. I can remember many of the old things about the city. I can remember Cherry Street, which I was kind of close to on James, being paved with blocks-not blocks- they‟re some circle pieces of wood made from a tree. They‟re about six inches deep and maybe a foot in diameter or so, depending on the tree that was cut. This was packed in with gravel, as I remember, and then… and then covered with tar. And that was a street. And Lower Monroe was a… had the same sort of a pavement and, I don‟t know, maybe other streets were paved that way but I can remember those. And when it… when they wanted to do away with the street and put asphalt or cement in, they tore it up and anybody who �2 wanted any of these blocks of wood would get them free and they made good firewood because they were certainly well-seasoned and they had some kind of oil or tar in them. Interviewer: When was, when was that street torn up? Mr. Ainsworth: Well, I don‟t know but I would guess, let‟s see I can only guess from my age, probably I was twelve or thirteen and that would make it nineteen hundred and two or three-around in there. Interviewer: What kind of a street did they put down after that? Mr. Ainsworth: Well, I‟m not sure. I think it was probably brick or tar some kind of… it was an improvement on the wood street. Although a street made of wood like that was awfully nice for the horses, and they had a lot of horses in those days. Milk trucks and people were going around in, in vehicles hauled by horses and it‟s a lot better for them than the paved street. Interviewer: Why, why is that? Mr. Ainsworth: Well, on account of their hoofs. I was always taught that you shouldn‟t run a horse on a hard paved street if you could avoid it. It‟s hard on the shoes and on their legs. It‟s so hard whereas the wooden pavement would take up some of the shock and it‟d be a lot better. I also remember about the lighting system in Grand Rapids in … I think that would be about the same period. We had steel towers and there were quite… oh, I would say they were t- at the base anyway, they were probably twelve, fifteen feet in diameter and they rose to maybe, oh I‟m just guessing but I would say, four to five hundred feet. And they had several lights up there that were made with carbon- carbon sticks they looked like. And they‟d have to replace these every once in a while and they would throw them down to the ground below and we boys would pick them up and use them in place of crayons-except they made a black mark instead of a white mark. But they tore that… I don‟t know when they tore those down and replaced them but, at that time, it was a good lighting system although I don‟t think it ever was quite as good as they claimed it would be. You would be able to read a newspaper anywhere in the citythe city then being probably one-fifth the size it is now. I remember at one time there was a flock of geese that came either going north or south I don‟t know which, but there was a fog and they flew into this…one of these towers and I think it was on the corner of Paris and Logan. I‟m not sure of that, but anyway, the… it killed several of the geese and they were dead at the bottom of the tower and they were there for the grabs-anybody that wanted them could have them. I don‟t know, maybe, that‟s about all I can think of. Interviewer: These towers… were the towers kind of ringing the city or… Mr. Ainsworth: Well, they were spaced in logical places so that they would distribute the light throughout pretty well. But I don‟t think it was nearly as good a system as it is now and they claimed a lot more than they claim now. But we had a lot of trees and these lights were way up and the trees would shadow them and make dark places so I‟m sure �3 they would have left them up until now if they were practical. But they‟re gone and, of course, they have a different system of… we don‟t have any carbon lights, maybe you can remember those. They kind of fizz once in a while. They‟d make quite a loud singing sound. There was a spark going between the carbons is what it was-that made that noise. Interviewer: Well, when you were growing up on James Street, was that on the outskirts of the city? Mr. Ainsworth: No, but Eastern Avenue was pretty well on the outskirts. I suppose it was named Eastern because it was the east, more or less, the eastern limits of the city. And I remember just beyond there on Wealthy, they used to have a big open space there. That would be from Eastern east of there and well east there-pretty close to Diamond. Where Diamond is now was all open and they use to have the circus that came to town would put up tents there. There was plenty of room for them. It was… it was all open territory. Interviewer: Would the shows be there? Mr. Ainsworth: Yeah, the shows-they put the big tent there and the show would be there. Interviewer: How would, how would people get out to the circus if it was on the outskirts of town? Mr. Ainsworth: Well, they had streetcars, I suppose. I know… I know they did because they had streetcars running out to Reeds Lake. As a boy, I use to go out to Reeds Lake in the summer and my mother would put up a sandwich or two and some milk and then we‟d go out to Rose‟s swimming beach and take our lunch and we‟d stay in the water all day long-swim all morning and afternoon. The water was clean and clear. And then in the winter, we use to do the same thing only we‟d take our skates out and they cleared a space out there and we were in…I can‟t tell you the name of it, but it was a big open saloon, that‟s what it was and a couple of stoves in there, these pot-bellied stoves and we‟d get cold and come in there and we‟d…I think we had our lunch in there. They let us have our lunch there. I can‟t remember much about it being a bar but I‟m pretty sure that was what it was. And we‟d put up our… put our feet up against this iron stove with our skates on, you know, and it would thaw them out and get warm then go back out and skate. It was quite a trek out there for us, either bicycle or streetcar. So you wouldn‟t go out there for just a little while, you go out there for the whole day-the entire day. I remember shooting squirrels right down by Fisk Lake and around in there. It was beginning to be a little inhabited there and this-right here where I am used to be a track here. Mr. Bonnell, as I recall, had some horses, and he had a track which he would run „em around here. Jefferson Avenue was-in the winter- was a place I think they blocked it off and some of the rich people with horses and sleighs would have races down there. They raced down Jefferson Avenue. Interviewer: Did you ever go down to see them? �4 Mr. Ainsworth: I don‟t think I did. I remember hearing about it, but I wasn‟t particularly interested. But on Washington Street they used to block that off for us kids and we‟d start at Madison with bobsleds and slide down there and then walk back up. We use to do that a lot. I can‟t remember those horse races at all, seeing one. I can remember hearin‟ „em, talking about them though. I‟m sure they had them. Interviewer: Did you go to school in Grand Rapids? Mr. Ainsworth: Yes, I graduated from Central High School in nineteen-ten. That was the last year of the old high school. Then there was the new one which I guess is the one standing now-was built in, I think the class of eleven [1911] got into that school. I was the last one there and… I graduated in nineteen-ten and remember hearing I was the last class in the school. Interviewer: Did everybody in those days graduate from Central? Mr. Ainsworth: I think they did. I don‟t think we had another high school. Interviewer: Another four year school? Mr. Ainsworth: No, I don‟t believe we did. Of course, you got how many now-three, four…? Interviewer: Well, there‟s Creston, Union, Central, Ottawa Hills-I guess they‟ve got four, plus the Catholic High School. Mr. Ainsworth: Well, I guess there weren‟t a lot of kids never went to high school, you know, in those days. I don‟t suppose over half of them went. And so, of course, the city was so much smaller so that you didn‟t need as many. Interviewer: Who were the kids that went onto high school and who were the ones that didn‟t? Mr. Ainsworth: Well, some of them had to go to work and they didn‟t. Some of „em just weren‟t interested. There wasn‟t the importance put on an education in those days as it is today. So… and the world wasn‟t as sophisticated. I mean you… you have to have an education to run these machines now and the computers and everything. Most every kind of work there is takes a good deal of education. In those days, we didn‟t have those and the work that was open for you didn‟t require it so you just didn‟t spend the time and money on it. I went over to the University of Michigan and it seemed to me there were nine thousand there then and they thought that was a big, big school. My granddaughter is going over here to Central Michigan at Mt. Pleasant, yeah, Mt. Pleasant. And I think she said there were something like twelve, fourteen thousand, and they, they consider that a small school now. I never, I really never heard if it until she went there. And yet that‟s �5 much bigger than the University of Michigan was in those days. And the University of Michigan was-and is today-well recognized as a big and good college. Interviewer: What… what kind of business were you in in Grand Rapids? Mr. Ainsworth: Well, I was in the coal business-the Bennett Fuel Company. My father worked there first and got to own the company, and then I took it over when I came back from college and I ran it until sixteen years ago when I retired. It‟s about that time gas kept came in and there‟s very little coal sold in the city now, very little. Even the industries are not buying it because of the smoke that they‟re creating. So, it‟s been hit very hard but my son is running the company as best he can and he‟s gone into oil… selling oil along with coal for heating and other purposes. So he‟s struggling along with it still in the city. It‟s over-it‟s about ninety-eight years old now. It‟s almost a hundred years old-the company is. And we had an interesting thing about that. We were on the corner of Fulton and Ottawa. I think we were there for eighty-eight years and the property was owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad. We rented it from them and we rented it for eighty-eight years and all we had was month-to-month lease. The railroads are a little different than other people. If you ship over their lines, they won‟t sell to you and they give you cheap rent. They won‟t sell to you because they want to hold you on their… they want to have something over your head. It‟s to make you stay there and ship over their road. And on the other hand, they give you very, very reasonable rent. In fact, they‟d give it to you for nothing if they could but the Interstate Commerce Commission won‟t let them do that. They have to charge at least, as I understand it, six percent the valuation, assessed valuation of the property. But that‟s all they charged. Well, I think that‟s all they charged us. Now, now that the railroads are having a hard time, maybe, they‟re… they‟ll get into the more equitable rent. Interviewer: Well, if people were burning… would that be the predominant fuel in homes-coal? Mr. Ainsworth: Yes, it was up to about nineteen forty, I‟d say. nineteen forty then gas started coming in, oil, there was, some oil in… there was some gas but not anything like what it is now. Though I would say an eighty percent or eighty-five percent of the heat was generated from coal at that time. And there were over a hundred coal dealers in this city at one time-at least a hundred licenses taken out. Now there is just our own, that‟s the only one left. And we‟re… we just can‟t, I don‟t know how he can live off what he gets there. There‟s just nobody‟s burning coal. I don‟t burn it myself …and fewer every year. But he‟s got little other outlets that, like oil, trying to go into the fertilizing business, too. Doing a little of that he can, that goes a very little investment necessary if you have oil trucks, you can just clean „m out, put the water and the chemical in there and then you got your own pump, your spray and the whole thing so all throughout the country quite a few coal yards have gone into fertilizing by liquid spraying. Interviewer: Well, if most of the homes were burning coal, was there… was there much smog or smoke in the city? �6 Mr. Ainsworth: Yes, there was, there was no complaint about it but there was at times. I know that in the winter you get a nice clean fall of snow and all, everything would be just as white and pure and clean as it could be in the morning maybe, and then by the next morning you‟d see these globs of soot around. And the snow would get real dirty mostly from… of course, it gets dirty now but it‟s largely from coal. It seems to me as though the air should be much cleaner now than it used to be due to the fact that there‟s no coal used but, of course, there weren‟t very many automobiles in those days and they say they‟re responsible for 60% of the pollution-air pollution. So maybe we got a worse victim in the car than it was in coal. I don‟t think coal will ever come back as a home heating. Interviewer: Well what, what, how would these homes that were heated on coal, what was the operation involved in keeping your house warm. Mr. Ainsworth: Well, at first it was really just hand fired. You just didn‟t… you never had a fire furnace with coal? You didn‟t? Interviewer: Well, I did at my parents‟ cottage at one time. But… Mr. Ainsworth: Well, it‟s merely shovel in the coal usually in the morning and set your drafts and you‟d get over-runs and under-runs and, it was good, good and cold you couldn‟t keep the house at an even temperature-or it was very difficult to. Then they had the… they would get an automatic thermostat for the furnace and it was much better than without one. It would open and close the draft itself. When the temperature went over a certain degree, it would drop the draft so that the fire would die down and when it got cold it would be the reverse. And then… then they introduced the stoker and the stoker is much cleaner burning. It burns fuel much cleaner than the hand fired by means of a screw it pushes the coal in so that the fire is fed from below and as that fresh coal comes in from below, it gets hot and it begins to release its volatile matter as smoke. The smoke has to go through the bed of flames and it gets burned off. So it burned the coal more efficiently and cleanly-but it isn‟t. I hate to say it as a coal man, but it isn‟t as clean as the gas or oil. But, of course, you‟re just practically unconscious of the furnace and then I… just, your house is held at seventy-two degrees with either coal or oil. So you‟re unconscious of it. Interviewer: Well in other words, before they developed the thermostat, it was pretty difficult keeping your house at an even temperature. Mr. Ainsworth: Yeah. You had a little dial up here that you could operate around and it had a chain on it and the chain would close or open the drafts down below. So if it gets cold, well, you walk over to this operator and just turn it one way or the other and it would adjust the drafts instead of having to go down below to do anything. You boys missed a lot of hard work. Interviewer: Well were there, when people were burning coal in their houses, were there any coal strikes? �7 Mr. Ainsworth: Yes, I can remember one but they- the contracts were all written so they expired, I think, on April first. And we did have coal strikes but the season was pretty well along for one thing and we could load up on another thing and I remember one year they had a strike and they had this coal… they loaded cars. Of course, the miner was anxious to get all the money he could so he was trying to put in all the time he could and some-so most of „em were on a tonnage basis so the more tons you got out the more you got paid. And he was trying to build up a nest egg to protect him against the strike. So they were trying to get a lot of coal out in shipping and we‟d load up and they‟d have sometimes… there‟s every miner had maybe a hundred cars loaded with coal and they would… all during April they would ship that to you. And I can‟t remember any time when, oh yes, I did too, was that a strike? There was one time here we were in real bad shape one winter. We…we had the supply turned over to the city. I think that was… that must have been a strike. I remember George Welsh was mayor, I believe, at that time or city commissioner and the city confiscated all the coal there was in the city. I mean they came to your yards and now, “You cannot deliver any coal except on an order from the city.” And then the people had to go to the city hall and declare their need of coal and they‟d get a certificate and they… we‟d come down and deliver them a ton. We did have quite a serious shortage one year, I can remember. Interviewer: Do you remember what year that was? Mr. Ainsworth: No, I can‟t. No, I can‟t. I just have to guess it was the late thirties or in the forties. We did have quite a serious shortage at that time, but I don‟t think anybody froze. I remember greenhouses got preference, hospitals got preference and some institutions that were vital were… got the first chance. There were… there always… when they have a strike, there‟s always a few miners at work-they‟re not unionized so there‟s a trickling of coal that comes out always, even in spite of a strike. There‟s a strike on right now, isn‟t there? I know that their contract expired last night at midnight. Interviewer: Oh, I don‟t know about this. Mr. Ainsworth: I, I didn‟t turn it on there… the television this morning… and so I don‟t know what happened. Interviewer: Was the Grand River used for anything when you were a kid? Mr. Ainsworth: I can‟t remember any of those boats going up and down. I… I can remember seeing pictures of the boats and I think there were some boats there and they docked right down there by Fulton Street, but I can‟t remember very much about them but I‟ve seen pictures. I think maybe most of my memory of that is from pictures rather than from the actual boats although I can remember a very bad flood we had one year. I was only a kid. Gosh, I don‟t know. It was probably nineteen-I‟m guessing again but probably in nineteen-let‟s see, probably nineteen hundred and five or six… around in there. I remember the… in the Pantlind Hotel in the barber shop-in the basement-they, they had water right up to… almost to the ceiling. And they used to have a mark there �8 and then years afterwards they‟d come in and say, well, right up there is where the water was on such and such a date. And the west side was quite badly flooded. There was some water over there. Interviewer: What did… what did happen? Why were there such serious floods then and not now? Mr. Ainsworth: Well, if you don‟t, there was no wall there at that time and it was the year in which we had a lot of snow and it melted all fast. Maybe even today it comes up pretty high. We have walls of protection but if you get a lot of snow and then you get a warm rain with this two or three feet of snow on the ground, it‟s just running off everywhere, just in rivers. All over the country, every tributary is feeding into Grand River and it goes way up and it depends on the condition at the time and at that year. We were not protected as well as we are now and we had a big run-off of snow and water. Interviewer: You said you mentioned that your family had a home down on South College, five forty-nine South College? Mr. Ainsworth: Yes. Interviewer: Did you grow up or did you spend any time… Mr. Ainsworth: Well, I spent a few years there, yes. Most of my time was spent on James Street. Then they moved out to eighteen thirty-nine Lake Drive, but then I was married and I didn‟t live at eighteen thirty-nine Lake Drive. They kept going east as most of us do-east or out in the outskirts. Interviewer: What kind of a neighborhood was James Street, what kind of people lived there? Mr. Ainsworth: Well, there were colored people on the south side of Wealthy and they used to have what we called the Wealthies and the Cherries. I belonged to Cherry Street and most of the Wealthies were the people on the Wealthy side. South of Wealthy were colored… were half, about half-colored and half white at that time. And we used to have snowball fights and so forth. At that time was more or less a pleasant relationship. There was rivalry and then sometimes it resulted in bloody noses and so forth but that was the extent of it. But we… we were… we were divided even then in those days between… and Wealthy Avenue divided us off. And we got our names from the…from the two streets, Wealthy and Cherry. Interviewer: Did they go to the same school? Mr. Ainsworth: Yeah, we went to the same school. It‟s there now, Henry Street School. It runs from Henry over through to James and just a little bit south of Wealthy. It seems to me… I know it‟s there yet, isn‟t it? �9 Interviewer: Henry School? I think so, yeah. Yeah, I‟m sure it‟s there. Did, well… did the… the Negroes and the whites get along alright together? Mr. Ainsworth: In school we did. I can‟t remember anything… any difference or having problems or even giving it a moment‟s thought. We had no serious trouble, we accepted each other as we were and we didn‟t have a football team or baseball team I don‟t think…at least I know I didn‟t-wasn‟t in it. But I had some friends. I can remember two or three of „em down there and later they got to be waiters at the Pantlind Hotel and I used to get pretty good service over at the Pantlind Hotel. The boys would… quite a few of them became waiters in various places. Do you have this thing going? Is anybody going to listen to all this? Interviewer: Oh, yeah. Mr. Ainsworth: Are they? Interviewer: Yeah, I think so.

This is Ken Kutzel, and I am here today with Al Weener at the Old Schoolhouse in Douglas, Michigan. Today is June 2nd, 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. So I'll thank you for talking with me today. AL: I'm glad to be here. KK: I’m interested to learn more about your family history and your experiences od summer in the Saugatuck-Douglas area. Can you please tell me your full name and spell it? AL: Allen, A L L E N, Jay, J A Y. Weener W E E N E R. KK: OK. And you don't use any accents or anything. No. No umlauts. You know, none of that. KK: Tell me about where you grew up. AL: I was I was born in Holland, Michigan, and Saugatuck was the place to go if you wanted to. The first liberal area south of Holland. My Uncle Harry used to come down here deer hunting, which was actually he just came down here to drink. He was a well-known businessman in Holland. His last name was Plugamars. He owned many of, you know, quite a few buildings downtown. AL: But anyway, Saugatuck, when I was finishing high school, I came to Saugatuck and I worked on a fishing trawler with the Peetle brothers on a boat called the Chambers Brothers. Peetles also were fishermen. KK: And that's P E E L right? AL: Yeah, right.Right. Some of them, they're still around. And so that was my introduction. Catching alewives. Which brings back memories to some for sale, I think they went to Japan. Then after high school, there's some cloudiness in my memory, but I was I helped build the stage and put on the pop pop festivals and working for SRC as a temporary job. So that brings, you know, some of that. KK: There was at Pottawattamie Beach, right? AL: Right, yeah. And I was actually backstage during the kerfuffle, which there were. That's another history. Part of, you know, part of Saugatuck. Let's see. What would you like to know? KK: Well, you talk about if you want. AL: Oh, okay. �KK: Talk about that if you... If you want to talk about the... Well, the pop festival, I would have asked you about it anyway. AL: Oh, okay. Well, I was backstage. We helped build the stage. I was just 19 years old. And or 18, I forget. And I was hanging around this, The Frost, which was... I think he was .... And the MC5 were there and B.B. King, not B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Arthur Brown, Alice Cooper. MC5, that sort of scene. You know the bunch. KK: They're all in the poster. AL: Yeah. Mama Lee Thorton never showed, and there was a big rush toward the stage, And I guess I missed all the excitement. I mean, I was in the middle of it, but everything around the edges? Didn't see it a thing. KK: Yeah, they did that two years, right? AL: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. KK: Okay, what are some of the most vivid memories from your childhood. AL: Saugatuck? I had… KK: Well, either, either place. AL: Oh, I don't know. Let's see. Well, my dad always took us swimming in the area. So we're were, I was kind of always around Lake Michigan. In fact, I've pretty much lived within 10 miles of the lakeshore my entire life, so. Lake Michigan beaches. KK: OK, tell me more about your family and your family history. AL: My grandfather, Frank Weener, owned gas stations in Holland at one time and an oil company. And on the north side. And, his house actually was moved from Ottawa Beach. His house on Van Dyke Street, which is now gone, was a root beer stand that they moved from Ottawa Beach. He lived there quite a long time. KK: Oh, really? AL: And my dad, their family home was right where the North Side Russel's is now. So that's where they grew up on River Avenue. KK: Oh, OK. 5:09 KK: Why did you first come to Saugatuck-Douglas? And of course, you mention, you know, a little bit about it. But what made you come here? �AL: Oh, I just thought it was an interesting little fishing town. And then by getting my feet wet, as it were, out in the lake, learning, working with the trawlers for a while, then playing music with with the locals. We had a band way back then with Pete Hungerford and many... Jack Wulkan. Dave Rafinauld on Leo.... these guys are all dead. But I'm not. KK: You're not. AL: Jack is still living in Kalamazoo. KK: Did you guys play in, like, the local bar? AL: Oh, yeah. We played the Sand Bar and the Butler Blue Temple Woodshed Boathouse. Which bar am I missing? That's just about all of them. [Laughs]. KK: Some of them are gone. AL: Yeah. Woodshed's gone and Blue Tempo's gone. KK: Well, you know, as long as you brought it up and, you know, would you tell me what you can about the Blue Tempo? AL: Well, we just were looking for any place to play and we were playing a lot of original music. And Toad was had no problem with that. Som we would set up. KK: And Toad was the owner? AL: Yeah, Toad was the owner. KK: Yeah. AL: Toad Davis. KK: Yeah, Davis. AL: Yeah. And it was a long stairway down and we'd set up. We played there a couple times. It was we didn't get a big crowd but a local crowd. I can remember some fathers weren't real happy that their teenage daughters were at the Blue Tempo. KK: You were. Were you playing more to the straight crowd or the gay crowd or straight? AL: Oh, just the locals. KK: Oh, yeah. Yeah, because. We know that that you know. That was a gay bar. �AL: That was a gay is a gay bar at certain times. The notables played there. You know, great jazz greats played. Yeah. KK: So, who do you know of that that was-? AL: Well, it seems like Dizzy Gillespie played there. I'm not sure. These are all hearsay because I never talked to Toad about it. But, uh, you know that was a it was a fabulous little club. And I hope that you've talked to Bill Steininger, because he could give you more. KK: No, we haven't, but I will write that name down. So, tell the story, because I know you were instrumental in acquiring a sign. AL: Oh, yeah. And it caught on fire. KK: Yes. I want to tell what you know about that. AL: Well, it was a sad day when any institution catches on fire. And I don't remember how. I've just hanging around, drove up and and saw that that roof had sagged and Toad was standing out front. And we're both gonna go. Go. Boy, this is pretty rough. And I can't imagine what he felt like. But the roof had sagged and it was still the fire was out. And I suppose there is yellow tape around it. But I just asked him if I could have the sign and he said, I don't care. or something to that effect. So, I just walked out on the roof and pulled it off with a hammer. KK: OK. AL: Far as I can remember. KK: So, it was up on the roof. AL: Yeah, it was on a roof. Yeah. And the roof had sagged down due to the fire. So it was dangerous. But who cares? KK: But we know you so. Oh, let's see. Can you share any particular memories about, you know, your time here about living here and when, you know, things are moments that are especially memorable to you? AL: Oh, I was thinking of Sally Erlandson, who just passed away, and I believe she was instrumental in having the gazebo built along the water Wicks Park and. And we used to play there. And when it was actually when it was just. Instructed, we had an informal bunch of locals and we we painted it in just to help out. KK: Good! AL: So, Sally was always interested in her and what we were doing. �KK: Can you tell me about your friend Fred? Because I know he was sort of involved in the music world here. AL: Oh, Fred Glazier. KK: Yeah. AL: Oh, and he was. KK: What can you tell me about Fred? AL: Well, he was a freelance writer and he grew up next door to in Chicago area somewhere. Then he was friends with a lot of the oh, man. 10:07 AL: This is this is a brain’s... Mike Bloomfield. So, we did an oral history of Mike Bloomfield. One of his last works. And he'd collect art from. KK: Where was it? AL: I don't know, Chicago very well. But they had the area that everyone was a grand sort of fleamarket. And anyway, he had a lot of art that was on the floors of his his closets kind of in disarray. And before he passed away, I took it and I tried to sort it out and flatten it. And then. So I had a bunch of his art. Anyway, he he was a he wrote for the commercial record as a stringer, I believe, an elegant paper. KK: Didn't he have a little magazine? AL: I think he may have yeah. Yeah. I think all about music in the area. Oh, he may have tried and he tried just about everything I've seen and everything, but working for a living. I don't recommend it at all. Manual labor doesn't suit you. KK: Well, that's true. Oh, were there any places or institutions that you know, are really important to you here in Saugatuck-Douglas? AL: Well, we used to play at Jocko's and Jack Wilkins still being a friend of mine. We'd kind of camp out in the back yard and throw parties there. KK: Where was Jocko's? AL: It is now east of the Dune scooter rides on the rise of the hill. It was a Jocko Wilkin, Jack's father, who owned that. So, yeah, he had a Lake Road Hotel Motel. KK: Were those inside the cabin? �AL: Yeah, those little cabins behind you. KK: Oh, okay, yeah. AL: Yeah. And then the restaurant was in front. KK: Yeah. AL: Yeah, I think they did a quick shot in the Road to Perdition back there. KK: Yeah, that. OK. Any special places you like to eat in the past during that period? AL: Oh, I was somewhat unkind to the local restauranteurs. KK: How so? AL: No I won't go into that. Oh, I mean, The Douglas Dinette was a popular spot. And then The Redwood which is now... Donna Peel passed away. KK: Yeah. AL: The Ways- The Waypoint. That was the Redwood. Yeah. Way back then. Oh, I don't know. Let's see The Elbow Room, which is now The Southerner. KK: Yeah, The Southerner. AL: Yeah. Yeah. I just think you know The Southerner. That was a great spot. And The Butler. My dad always loved to go to The Butler when we're having a family get together. KK: You never had any contact, really, with the School of Art, did you? AL: Oh, yeah. KK: Oh, you did? Tell me about that. AL: Yeah, I worked there. Then my old girlfriend way back was a model out there and. And so I actually have the stove. Well, I did a lot of work out there and I played out there for fundraiser's many times. And actually before I gained my my present stature, I did that. [Laughs Loudly]. AL: She and I both did modeling out there. KK: Yeah. AL: And I met a lot of people on there and let Sally… Oh, they had The Pumphouse for many years. KK: What were their names? �AL: They lived in The Pumphouse. Which is now The Pumphouse. The Pumphouse Museum. Sally. I forgot the last name. And there was a cottage. KK: And it was… AL: Yeah, that's how I got involved out there. KK: Oh, OK. AL: In part. So, let's see. I remembered strip volleyball games and stuff like that where I was wearing a pair of shorts and some women would be festooned in scarves and other extraneous... [Both Laugh] They had they knew the game. KK: Let's see what else we have here. AL: Shorey. Sally Shorey. KK: Sally Shorey. Okay. AL: Because I was living across in Saugatuck and helped remodel The Pumphouse. Way, way back. 15:00 KK: Yeah. And now, you know, you talked about you did work here and you did. What actually do you do for work? AL: Some people say not much, but back then… Well, I was a Mason tender. I was project supervisor, which means that when they were out of town, I would try to direct traffic. So we toured the slate roof off, patched that. KK: That's at the at the Pumphouse. AL: Yeah, The Pumphouse, which I think I gave you a few slates. KK: Yeah. AL: Yeah. Which I, yeah, fortunately still had a couple laying around. What were you asking me? Oh the Pumphouse. Well, what I did for a living? KK: What you did andAL: Yeah. Well I was. I was. Well, I painted a bunch of them for quite a while down here, but then transitioned more into construction. �KK: And you were involved a lot in New Richmond, weren't you? AL: Oh, yeah. I bought The New Richmond Hotel from a friend of mine. He says, "Careful what you wish for." AL: I said, "You know, if I owned it, I would do this and that." AL: And he said, "Well, I'll sell it to you on a land contract." And then so I did remodel that or we did that for quite a few years. And then it caught on fire. Top floor burned out. Fixed that. And then used it as a vacation rental some years successfully, some years less so. And that was the design syrett for the park and raised a little bit of money. And I was on the fundraising committee for the bridge. KK: Why don't you explain exactly what that meant? I mean, what were they doing with the bridge? AL: Oh, at the time Kevin Ricoh was the Parks and Recreation Director for the Allegan County. They, along with the road commission, Bill Nelson was the head of the road commission at the time, were able to secure a federal grant to rebuild the bridge. Subject to not using the caveat was to not have a use for vehicle traffic and to rebuild it being the oldest swing bridge in its act, in its original location. So that bridge is capable of being turned with the crank. I think they spent $800,000 building that. That spans the Kalamazoo Kalamazoo River where New Richmond was, is. KK: New Richmond is, was. Yeah. It was more of a town at one point, wasn't it? AL: Oh, yeah. The train used to stop there five times a day. OK. And from what I understand, it was an Indian trading post prior to that in the 1830s. There are hotels which I had the last, the last structure. A lot of them burned down at the Great Fire, but... The mail used to come to New Richmond. Go by stagecoach to Saugatuck and Holland, sometimes by water, but stagecoach to Holland. And I had relatives living in the East Saugatuck. So, they may have come through Ellis Island and gotten off the train in New Richmond. And, you know, by ox cart or snail... By snail. [Both laugh] By snail or tortoise. Yeah. Sledge lived in East Saugatuck. KK: What... Talk about downtown Saugatuck and or downtown Douglas back, you know, in in like the 70s, 60s, 70s. What do you remember about them? AL: Well, The Over Ice Lumber was still in Douglas as well as there was a hardware store. It was struggling at the time. My girlfriend and I painted The Dutcher Lodge way, way back when it was still a Masonic Hall upstairs. KK: And was it still being used as a hall? AL: Yeah, it was kind of the end of the end of its tenure as a hall .And I remember there were huge bees nests and even more warm weather came that would drip honey through the floor. KK: I've been up there. AL: Yeah? �KK: Yeah, I did. There's still a stage up there. 20:01 AL: Oh, yeah. Yeah. There's still a stage. I don't know what they've done to it, but I remember working for Virgil Lloyd was one of the one of the old timers who wanted it was part of the lodge. Burin Van Osterberg another. He lived on the other side of the water on the other side of the river. And his wife was Chuck Glummer's sister, she was crazy as a loon. [Chuckles] She was institutionalized. KK: Oh, really? AL: He would take her out of the home, drive around on a regular basis. Her hair was never combed and she never talked at all. Chuck Glummer was was... lived in Ganges, had the tractor repair. KK: Oh. AL: Which is that... Oh, there's the plumber house there. KK: Yeah. Is it across the street from it? AL: Right. KK: Yeah. AL: Yeah. OK. Yeah.Yeah. I've forgotten his wife's name. Chuck was lived in Ganges Township. And they, they had a hedge your business and repaired crackers. I remember going in there and asking, "What can I get for, you know, the tune up my engine for ten bucks?" AL: And the mechanic opened the hood, looked at the engine, closed the hood and said, "That'll be ten dollars." KK: Oh, it sounds like it, you know. AL: Yeah. You stay at the Texaco station where where they would carry a pistol when they're pumping gas. KK: Really? AL: Yeah, the Brown, Browns owned, had that old, Al Brown. Jim Brown. There was Joe Brown. And they were either township or county one with Joe Browns, County cop and, you know, nice. KK: Was it right? Was that the one that was downtown or down near Bluestar- �AL: By Bluestar. Now, it's a real estate. KK: Yeah. Lighthouse, I think, Reality. AL: Yeah. That was a Texaco Station. I know there was one over there. And, Al Brown was there, you know, from the south. But very you know, once you get to know them well, you go in there and play guitar for a couple of minutes at the gas station. I'm no guitar player, but enough to break the ice. KK: Well, and then when you came down here, you spent more time in Saugatuck than in Douglas? Or did it matter? AL: Didn't matter. There were just one little town. KK: Do you have any memory of the Greeson School of Art at the Footy of Center Street? There's a little art school there. AL: Down here? KK: It was just in one building. Yeah. AL: Oh, no. KK: Yeah. I always ask that question because not too many people remember it. AL: No, I remember Oxbow. Yeah. There was no I'm not aware of that one. KK: Did you ever come down? You know, it would be would be up from... Yeah. Down from Holland on the wintertime or what was it something guys in all that all year or was it just mostly summer? AL: Oh well I would come down pretty much any time. Mostly summer jobs. Oh, okay. AL: But when we were painting houses we used to put in as a single ad in The Commercial Record with the phone number. Not even a phone number. I mean, just an address. Post office box. And we were living in New Richmond at the time, so I had a post office box in New Richmond. Somebody would write me a letter, send it via post. I would get a letter from them, send a letter back. You know, this is all is very slow. And then we would quite often get a painting job that way. I didn't paint forever, but it seemed like it. Yeah. KK: So that would be about what time? The 60s? AL: Yeah, and early 70s. KK: Early 70s. �AL: Yeah. KK: So, you were already living out in New Richmond. AL: Yeah. And my girlfriend and I also live right downtown Saugatuck in the old Masonic Hall up above in which is now kind of an atrium building the upper floors. Like upstairs from the- on Butler Street from where Butler Pantry was. Yeah, right. Hey there. I think the Leland building was. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I did a bunch of work on the Leland building with the first- the initial remodel, my cousin and I tore the north side of the building up and removed the brick and put beams in for windows and also build a back stairway in there. 25:08 AL: Put bay windows on the front, which are now gone. Let's see, yeah, I hadn't thought of that for a while. Yeah. So, what else you got? What what? KK: You know, Iet's talk... AL: Nice list. KK: Well, this is for all kinds of different things, you know, here. This is one for your shenanigans. How would you describe Saugatuck-Douglas, to somebody who had never been here before? AL: When I first came, it was a little fishing town. You can still buy smoked fish in Saugatuck. You can get smoked Chubb's. The Hungerford's had a boathouse on the river, which is no, you know, a glorified cottage. They lived up on the hill. It was a very relaxed little town, very small. KK: OK. And with the summer season was about how long? AL: Three months. Yeah. You can set your watch by it. KK: Yeah. In the summer, where was your favorite place to go? AL: Well, I spent a lot of time on the sandbar or just houses. We played a big party at Tower Marine and that's why I brought up Bill Dillerard, because the tower was still up at that point. And, I remember there is a big house and it had a grand piano in it, and we threw a big party or they threw a big party up there. And that may have may be because they were going to tear down the tower or something like that. You'd have to ask Bill. But that's why Tower Marinas.... KK: Yeah. AL: -has the name. KK: That name. AL: And of course, Tower Marine had a big boat shed and built river queens there. �KK: What was your impression of the law enforcement in Saugatuck? AL: Oh, I remember Lyle Jones. He was a chief of police who was pretty relaxed guy. Not at all what we have today. We did. KK: Right. AL: We were we wrote songs about the locals. So, we do have... There was a song written with Lyle Jones named in it. KK: Oh, really? AL: Yeah. Those are- "Called the Corner" Jack Wilken, I bet has a copy of it. Wow. And Dick Hoffman was the mayor for a while. He was a cool guy. And Greg Hoffman, his brother, always rode a bike and delivered papers. Another local. KK: Do the Hollanders come down here a lot? AL: To drink. KK: Yeah, but did they admit it? AL: Well, if they were, Saugatuck was the first place... Ottawa County was pretty much dry. So, the Saugatuck was some place you could get away. KK: You know, there were the. There was that racetrack here. AL: Oh, yes. KK: At the time. Well, what can you tell me about that? AL: I worked for Al Masters, who owned Holiday Hill. Al and Fran and he and partner put on the jazz festival there. And I worked for them for at least 10 years off and on. And I noticed in his basement he had a bunch on reel-to-reel tapes. And after pestering him for a while, I was able to get those tapes of the Jazz Festival 1961. And I brought him to a friend of mine in Grand Rapids who owned a recording studio. And they were transferred into a digital medium. And they're probably copies in this building somewhere. KK: If I remember correctly, we do have them. AL: I hope so. KK: Mike Sweeney has been very, very involved. AL: So, yeah, I gave them to Mike. �KK: Yeah. AL: And so, I had those transferred and that had Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck and many other interesting Hollywood or Las Vegas senior stuff. Yeah. Hilarious. Four hours at least. And I remember he lost a lot of money and recorded it had it had A West Michigan sound out of Muskegon recorded for him, and he had no rights to do that. And so that's why they sat in his basement, because RCA or the parent companies who had the recording rights for these artists wouldn't let him release or do anything with the with the sound recording. 30:08 KK: Oh, that's interesting. Do you know, when they hit the rock festivals there. Talk to me or about what was it like with all those people coming into town? As I've heard stories about it. Do you have stories about it? AL: I was backstage the whole time, so. Or right in the in the festival itself. I remember we were... not inebriated, but my memories are somewhat, hazy. [Both chuckle] I was never in town because I was right in the middle of middle of the action. Because I know there are stories about the traffic. KK: And, yeah, them literally shutting the town down because nobody can get in or out. AL: Yeah. I just... Well, being in the middle of it, I didn't need to go anywhere. KK: That's okay. AL: We'd go swimming at Pottawattamie Beach was like 50 cents. They had a big water slide or a diving platform, which you couldn't do anymore. KK: You know, you're involved in playing music. Now, why don't you talk about that? AL: Oh, well, I'm not doing a whole lot, but occasionally I have the… I can play at Marrows in Saugatuck. Hopefully that'll kick in and in June. Otherwise, we had a band called Planet Seven at the time when we were still in our teens and. Yeah, well, that was with local local guys, some of which are not no longer with us. Leo Vischer was the bass player for a little on. Drank himself to death. There was other ones. Chuck Daly was another local. We also had a country band. Tom Edgecomb was another notable, notable guitar player and songwriter. AL: His father was Morgan Edgecomb, which the fireboat is named after, after Morgan. He was an interesting guy who worked on larger vessels and was First Mate for Evel Knievel for a long time. KK: Oh, was he? AL: As well as... You know, He didn't talk about it either. He didn't talk about his clientele because they, you know…. I think Tom said that he worked for the Kennedys. And, you know, and whoever they also Tom is the only guy that I knew my age was. He had been in Cuba with his dad. �KK: That's Tom Edgecomb. AL: Yeah. He passed away 15 years ago. KK: Wait, there was something I wanted to ask you. Tell us about your work with the fish. AL: Oh, you know, the sturgeon. Yeah, we're we have an on again off again nonprofit organization and we partner with we do a little bit to help to assist Fisheries and Wildlife DNR and then the Gun Lake Tribe, the Gun Lake Tribe is now taken up most of the heavy lifting due to budget cuts, governmental budget cuts. But the Kalamazoo River Sturgeon for Tomorrow is is we're trying to keep the sturgeon in Kalamazoo River by using native stock. So there is a small fishing fish hatchery. They called it streamside rearing facility on the north side of New Richmond at the county park. It's a seasonal small trailer funded by Fisheries and Wildlife. Federal money. KK: And so, what do what are they actually do there? AL: They catch native stock in the Kalamazoo River, rear them to a size in a few months sometime. They start with eggs or spawn. And by the time they let them go, they could be five to seven inches long, and then they're able to escape predators. But a small and a juvenile sturgeon is covered with kind of spiny, sharp plates and fins. So, once they get that big, they have a better chance of making it. OK. 35:01 AL: And the largest sturgeon in the last couple decades, caught and released in the Kalamazoo, from the Kalamazoo, was 6'9". KK: Oh. AL: And weighed in in excess of 200lbs. KK: Wow, that's a big fish. AL: A big fish. They've been here forever. KK: Are there more and more of them now? AL: They're still a remnant population in with a little help from or not doing any damage to the habitat, I think they'll be here for a long time. KK: Well, that's good. AL: There's more, more habitat. Habitat enhancement funded by the Gun Lake Tribe and the DNR just below the dam. The Allegan Dam on the Kalamazoo. �KK: What are some of your hopes for the future, for, you know, for the area? What would you like to see happen? AL: Oh, I would like to see the small-town atmosphere. I'm not a Luddite, but I do appreciate good architecture. So, Saugatuck could keep its quaint look by not building a lot of storage facilities to store people's junk, which they should donate to charity and or, you know, just tacky architecture and fast-food joints. KK: That’s interesting. You know. What would you consider some of the nicer buildings? AL: Oh, well. That the old.... let's see... Well, the let's see, the Episcopal Church is a really nice building. Let's see, and some of the buildings downtown that the sandbars, a nice unrestored building for the most part. Killwins, that's a pretty cool building. And some of the buildings along on Butler Street were moved from Singapore. So, and I've worked for some houses in homes, private homes that were moved up the ice from Singapore. So, back when we had real winters. KK: Yeah, I know. AL: Oh, that was real common. KK: I know. AL: Yeah. For months, kids pull them, pull them up with oxen or whatever. KK: Yeah. Yeah. Assuming that somebody 50 years from now is going to be listening to this tape, what do you want to say to him? Or her? AL: To him or her, life is short. Anybody that will be there. Life was short, don't make the same mistakes we did. Make some new ones. Be tolerant. KK: OK. Anything else you want to add? AL: No, just. It's… it's a pleasure that it's nice that we have a historical society. KK: Okay. We will… [Recording ends in middle of sentence]. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
