                  <text>Photographs, negatives, and lantern slides digitized from the papers of engineer and archaeologist Robert H. Merrill. A Grand Rapids native, Merrill held an accomplished career as a civil engineer. He founded the company Spooner &amp; Merrill, which held offices in Grand Rapids and Chicago. From 1919-1921, Merrill lived in China, working as Assistant Principal Engineer on a reconstruction of the Grand Canal - the oldest and longest canal system in the world. Merrill became fascinated by archaeology, and among other projects, he traveled to the Uxmal Pyramids in Yucatan, Mexico, with a research expedition from Tulane University. Merrill's photo collection includes images of his travels and projects, friends and family. </text>

                  <text>Photographs, negatives, and lantern slides digitized from the papers of engineer and archaeologist Robert H. Merrill. A Grand Rapids native, Merrill held an accomplished career as a civil engineer. He founded the company Spooner &amp; Merrill, which held offices in Grand Rapids and Chicago. From 1919-1921, Merrill lived in China, working as Assistant Principal Engineer on a reconstruction of the Grand Canal - the oldest and longest canal system in the world. Merrill became fascinated by archaeology, and among other projects, he traveled to the Uxmal Pyramids in Yucatan, Mexico, with a research expedition from Tulane University. Merrill's photo collection includes images of his travels and projects, friends and family. </text>

                    <text>December 1, 1993
The Special Meeting of the City of Gaylord Zoning Board of Appeals was opened by
Chairman Brecheiseq at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 1, 1993, in the City Council
Chambers, located in the City County Building, 225 West Main Street, Gaylord, Michigan.
Members Present:

Brecheisen, Copenhaver (Alternate), Dickerson, Sharrard (Alternate),
Thomas and Turczynski.

Members Absent:

Becker, Haber and Yarsevich.

The minutes of the previous meeting will be considered at the next Special Meeting of the
Zoning Board of Appeals.
Request for a Sign Variance by Chris Monte at Monte's Soft Cloth Auto Wash
located at 1375 West Main Street
Chairman Brecheisen reviewed the request. Mr. Chris Monte and Mr. Tom Wishman
(representing Amor Sign Studio) were present to answer any questions the Board had
regarding the request. Mr. Wishman reviewed the proposal. Mr. Wishman stated the
proposed sign would be obstructed if placed in conformance with the City Sign Ordinance,
but if placed at the front property line it would be visible by traffic going either east or west
on M-32. The proposed sign if placed at the property line would conform with old
requirements and would be in excess of fifty (50) feet from the center of the roadway.
Motion by Copenhaver, supported by Turczynski to grant a Sign Variance to Chris Monte
for the erection of a fifty-six (56) square foot free standing sign at 1375 West Main Street.
Mr. Monte is permitted to place the sign on the front property line and the variance is
granted based upon the following "finding of fact":
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.
g.

Parcel is unique because of the location of adjacent property signage.
The sign cannot be reasonably used in accordance with Sign Ordinance
because of the building location and obstructed view from the west.
The variance would not grant the applicant a right or privilege not enjoyed by
neighboring property owners.
The variance request is not the result of self-created actions on the part of the
applicant.
The variance will not injure or damage neighboring properties and in fact will
preserve the character of the area.
The variance is being requested because of the unique characteristics of the
property and not because of economic or personal reasons.
The variance constitutes the minimum action necessary to permit
reasonable use of the property and insure public safety.

The variance is granted to Mr. Monte for Monte's Soft Cloth Auto Wash and becomes
invalid if the business is discontinued, relocated or the sign is altered.

�Ayes: Brecheisen, Copenhaver, Dickerson, Sharrard, Thomas and Turczynski.
Nays: None. Motion carried.

Motion by Turczynski to adjourn.
Meeting adjourned at 7:24 p.m.

The Special Meeting of the City of Gaylord Zoning Board of Appeals was opened by
Chairman Brecheisen at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 26, 1994, in the City Council
Chambers, located in the City County Building, 225 West Main Street, Gaylord, Michigan.
Members Present:

Becker, Brecheisen, Copenhaver (Alternate), Dickerson, Haber and
Sharrard (Alternate).

Members Absent:

Thomas, Turczynski and Yarsevich.

Motion by Haber, supported by Becker to dispense with the reading of the minutes of the
previous two (2) meetings and to accept them as presented.
Ayes: Unanimous. Motion carried.
Request for an Outer Wall Covering Variance by Gary Merritt for an addition to
be constructed at Nu Way Supply, 403 West Sheldon Street, C-2, Central Commercial
District
Chairman Brecheisen reviewed the request. Mr. Gary Merritt (property owner) and Mr. Bill
Ford (builder) were present to answer any questions the Board had regarding the request.
Mr. Ford stated it was the intention of the property owner to make the proposed addition's
outer wall materials and setbacks the same as the existing building. Mr. Ford also stated
the purpose of the proposed addition was to allow inside storage of inventory currently
stored outside. It was also discussed that although the current and proposed addition will
be located three (3) feet from the north property line, the adjacent neighbor to the north
has a fence which is attached to the north side of the building and is therefore utilizing
three (3) feet of the property owned by Nu Way Supply.
The Board discussed the fact that Zoning Ordinance regulations regarding outer wall
materials and setbacks have changed since a previous addition to the building within the last

�March 23, 1994
The Special Meeting of the City of Gaylord Zoning Board of Appeals was opened by

Room, located in the City-County Building, 225 West Main Street, Gaylord, Michigan.
Members Present:

Becker, Brecheisen, Dickerson, Sharrard (Alternate), Thomas and
Turczynski.

A.

Request for a Front Yard Setback Variance by Carl Jansen for an addition to be
constructed at Mayfair Plastics, Inc., 845 Dickerson Road, M-1 Manufacturing
District.

Chairman Brecheisen reviewed the request. Mr. Carl Jansen, President of Mayfair Plastics,
and the contractor for Up-North Builders were present to answer any questions the Board
had regarding the request. Mr. Jansen stated the purpose of the proposed addition was to
allow for additional warehouse space for shipping and is necessary for the growth of the
business. Mr. Jansen also stated the need for 2 truck wells. If the proposed addition was
no wider than 40', it could not be used, as storage space is needed on both sides and still
have room for trucks to run through the center. The truck trailers will be at ground level
and no excavating is needed.
The Board discussed the fact that the building is currently a non-conforming building and
that the Ordinance changed after the building was built. The new addition would not make
the building any less conforming than the current structure. The practical difficulty was
created by government action, as the Ordinance was changed after the building was created.
Therefore, the request for the proposed addition is a reasonable request.
Chairman Brecheisen read correspondence from Dave Siegel indicating he reviewed the
plans and supports the request be granted for construction.
Motion by Dickerson, supported by Turczynski to grant a request by Carl Jansen of Mayfair
Plastics, Inc. for the construction of a new addition at 845 Dickerson Road. The variance
is granted based on the following "findings of fact":

�1.

The parcel is unique (in terms of size, shape, topography, location, or natural
features) when compared to other parcels in the same zoning classification.

2.

The parcel cannot be reasonably used in a manner consistent with the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.

3.

The applicant would not be given a right or privilege not enjoyed by
neighboring properties if the variance is granted.

4.

The variance request is not the result of self-created actions on the part of the
applicant.

5.

The variance will not injure or damage neighboring properties.

6.

The variance is not being requested because of personal or economic hardship
rather than the unique physical situation of this particular property.

7.

The variance does constitute the minimum action necessary to permit
reasonable use of the land and building.

Ayes:

Brecheisen, Dickerson, Sharrard, Thomas and Turczynski.

Abstained:

Becker, due to conflict of interest.

B.

Request for a Front Yard Setback Variance by Mr. John MacLeod for an addition
to be constructed at the Otsego Memorial Hospital, 825 North Center Avenue, C-1,
Central Commercial District.

Chairman Brecheisen reviewed the request. Mr. John MacLeod and Mr. Terry Morgridge
(architect) were present to answer any questions the Board had regarding the request. Mr.
MacLeod stated the purpose of the proposed addition was to allow for more room on the
east side. With the growth of the county, there is a need for a new emergency department,
radiology, lab, physical therapy and raspatory therapy. The canopy area would not obstruct
the view of traffic. The intent of the 32' width would allow 2 vehicles under the canopy.
The entrance is designed for one-way traffic with traffic exiting north. The emergency room
will be in line with North Center Avenue for visibility purposes to make it easier for citizens
to locate the emergency room entrance.
The Board discussed the fact that public safety was secured, there would be not obstruction
problem for traffic. The request for the proposed addition fits with the intent of the
Ordinance. The nearest intersection is Shipp Street, which is at a distance of approximately
150'. The Ordinance does provide for a canopy up to 12' from the property line.

�Motion by Thomas, supported by Becker to grant a request by John MacLeod of the Otsego
Memorial Hospital, for the construction of a new addition at 825 North Center Avenue.
The variance is granted based on the following "findings of fact":

•

1.

The parcel is unique (in terms of size, shape, topography, location, or natural
features) when compared to other parcels in the same zoning classification.

2.

The parcel cannot be reasonably used in a manner consistent with the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.

3.

The applicant would not be given a right or privilege not enjoyed by
neighboring properties if the variance is granted.

4.

The variance request is not the result of self-created actions on the part of the
applicant.

5.

6.

The variance is not being requested because of personal or economic hardship
rather than the unique physical situation of this particular property.

7.

The variance does constitute the minimum action necessary to permit

Ayes:

Becker, Brecheisen, Dickerson, Thomas and Turczynski.

Abstained:

Sharrard, due to conflict of interest.

C.

Request for a Side Yard Setback Variance by Mr. Fred and Theresa Charboneau for
an addition to be constructed at Fred's Garage, 1035 1/2 West Main Street, C-2,
General Commercial District.

Chairman Brecheisen reviewed the request. Mr. Fred Charboneau was present to answer
any questions the Board had regarding the request. Mr. Charboneau stated the purpose of
the proposed addition is to expand on the west side of the existing building, as more room
is needed. The west side will be used as the service area for cars, which will approach from
the south, and the east side of the building will be used for a showroom. Mr. Charboneau
also stated there would be no maintenance necessary on the west side of the building and
snow removal will not be a problem, it will be hauled away.
The Board discussed the fact that there is practical difficulty. The proposed addition will
not be any less conforming than the existing building. The area is not a high traffic area
and is on a side street (Milbocker Road). Therefore, the request for the proposed addition
is a reasonable request.

�Motion by Becker, supported by Turczynski to grant a request by Fred Charboneau of
Fred's Garage for the construction of a new addition at 1035 1/2 West Main Street. The

                  <text>Text and sound recordings of the sermons, prayers, services, and articles of Richard Rhem, pastor emeritus of Christ Community Church in Spring Lake, Michigan, where he served for 37 years.  Starting in the mid 1980's, Rhem began to question some of the traditional Christian dogma that he had been espousing from the pulpit. That questioning was a first step in a long and interesting spiritual journey, one that he openly shared with his congregation. His journey is important, in part because it is reflective of the questioning, the yearnings, and the gradual revision of beliefs that many persons in this part of the century have experienced and continue to experience. It is important also because of the affirming and inclusive way his questioning was done and his thinking evolved. His sermons and other written and spoken materials together document the steps in his journey as it took a turn in 1985, yet continued to revolve around the framework and liturgies of the Christian calendar.&#13;

Chris was born in Fremont, Michigan and drafted into the Army in 1943 when he was 19
years old
He was part of the 103rd Infantry Division and worked as a medical technician

(2:35) Training
 Chris was sent to Camp Claiborne, Louisiana for boot camp
 The area was much hotter than Michigan, muggy and had many muddy swamp areas
 They went on maneuvers through Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas
 Chris was later transferred to a camp in Texas
 The food was good, but he remembered just always being tired
 They had to hike with 50 pound packs in the hot weather and some of the men passed out
from the heat
(6:30) Medical Technician School
 Chris was sent to an Army/Navy general hospital in Hot Springs, Arkansas
 There were about 300 Army students he was training with and they had a very mean
general for their instructor
 He was allowed to go home on furlough twice while he was training and took a train
filled with many other soldiers to get home
 Chris had three weeks to visit his family and they also came to Arkansas to visit him
 All of the officers he worked with were doctors
(14:55) Surgical Technician School
 All of the Army ground forces had to go through physical examination tests
 Chris had to go through many examinations that were all very hard
 Chris’s company won first place in the nation that particular year
 There was a local college that the men went to visit on the weekends
 They had a book with a picture of every girl that went there, their age, and other
information on them
 They men could pick them out of the book and ask them to go out on date
(17:25) Europe

� They all gathered at Camp Shanks, New York to be shipped out
 Chris had to help give all the men inoculations before they left
 It took them 14 days to cross the Atlantic in a zig zag course in order to avoid German
submarines
 On the way Chris saw three different ships burning at sea that had been attacked
 At 6:00 pm all the men were locked in their compartments for the night and could not get
out until the next morning
 They landed in La Havre, France and were met with fire from German planes
 They abandoned their ship in the dark and many had no idea where they were fleeing to
 The men all finally met up at a staging area
 His company was supposed to relieve Company C of the Third Battalion
 There were MPs all over France and it was very muddy from all of the rain
(24:30) Average Days
 Most of the time the men never knew where they were going to sleep that night
 They preferred to sleep indoors and were usually able to eat well
 They started with k-rations, which were terrible, but they began receiving better tasting crations within a few months
 They tried to purchase as much French bread and wine as possible
 They often had to sleep outside in the French countryside, but it was very cold
 One night they decided to avoid sleeping in an abandoned French house because his
commander had a funny feeling about it
 The next day the house had been completely leveled by Germans
(36:10) Close Calls
 They had been on an offensive mission in France and the Germans had trapped them and
had them surrounded
 Chris was able to jump onto a passing tank and just barely missed being shot
 He had been selected to go on a reconnaissance mission in Ludwig[shafen] near the
Rhine River
 The men had been driving and stopped by a MP for the password
 A German 88 artillery shell hit the middle of the road right in front of them
 If they had not been pulled over by the MP they would have been hit by the shell
(41:00) Paris
 Paris was very different from the French countryside
 Chris had a friend that lived in an apartment in Paris and he went to visit him when he
had time on leave
 He had a very nice time visiting and touring through the city

�(42:10) Germany
 They had entered and taken a small town and found an abandoned school house
 There was a message on the chalk board that read “ Welcome to Germany”
 They came across a warehouse that held 33,000 bottles of champagne
 There were 15,000 men in the division and each received two bottles of champagne
 They were all very drunk that night and it would have been a good time for the Germans
to attack
 They moved very rapidly through Germany, making advances and taking cities
 They were working with the 614th Tank Destroyer Company
 They completely destroyed most of the towns they took and were ordered not to
communicate with any German civilians
(49:15) Innsbruck
 They felt the war was slowing down and many small pockets of German soldiers were
surrendering
 They entered Innsbruck and there really was not anything for the men to do and they
were all very bored
 Chris often went swimming and met a young woman named Anna Marie
 He liked her a lot and though she was very smart and he was able to communicate with
her because she spoke English
 Chris had been near a tank that hit a mine and a piece of shrapnel hit him in the head,
puncturing his helmet
 His leg was also hurt and he was sent to a hospital
(57:30) Rome
 Chris visited Rome on leave and toured the catacombs of Sainte Christopher at Saint
Peter’s Cathedral
 It was a very beautiful cathedral with gold walls and ceiling
 They were given a tour of Rome by a Russian princess that had fled the country
(59:10) Leaving France
 Chris had enough points to be sent home, but instead they sent him to various units to
take inventory of their medical supplies
 He began to get very annoyed because he was still working while most units were being
sent home
 He finally sent in a complaint and was eventually told he could go home
 Chris was brought to the shipping area in La Havre
 He had been in Europe for 2 years and had learned to speak German pretty well

�(1:03:50) Back in States
 Everything had changed while Chris was in Europe, including himself and it was a lot for
him to take in
 He got his old job back working for Continental Motors in Muskegon, Michigan
 He worked there for about 6 months and then decided that he did not work there anymore
 Chris applied for pharmacy school at Ferris State University and went there for 4 years
(1:10:40) Looking Back
 Chris became a pharmacist and met a woman in church that had moved to Michigan
from South Dakota
 They got married and had 5 children
 Chris still finds it hard to believe he made it through the war because there were so many
times that he could have been killed
 It was very hard being in Europe during the holidays, especially Christmas
 Chris had spent 5 Christmases away from his family

                  <text>Photographs, negatives, and lantern slides digitized from the papers of engineer and archaeologist Robert H. Merrill. A Grand Rapids native, Merrill held an accomplished career as a civil engineer. He founded the company Spooner &amp; Merrill, which held offices in Grand Rapids and Chicago. From 1919-1921, Merrill lived in China, working as Assistant Principal Engineer on a reconstruction of the Grand Canal - the oldest and longest canal system in the world. Merrill became fascinated by archaeology, and among other projects, he traveled to the Uxmal Pyramids in Yucatan, Mexico, with a research expedition from Tulane University. Merrill's photo collection includes images of his travels and projects, friends and family. </text>

Veteran’s History Project
Paul Meiers
World War II (refugee)
Length of Interview (00:53:53)
Background (00:1:00)
Born in Latvia, 1938
Father was in charge of a government farm; large, self-sustaining


Experimental farm; livestock and vegetable fields

When the Germans [Soviets?] came, their house and farm were taken over
Was 6 years old at this time, 1944
His mother was pregnant, at the time
Went to stay at the grandfather’s house, the father stayed on the farm


Soldiers dressed in brown uniforms came to the grandparents’ house and took the
grandfather and grandmother away

His mother and he started for home, once there, got on to another wagon and headed for the coast
His father sold the horses and wagon once they reached a coastal town and boarded a German
ship (private or military, unknown)
Mother’s brother was supposed to come on the ship, but his wife ‘had a fuss’ and both
walked off the ship
Later found out they were sent to Siberia
Very crowded ship, being sent to Germany
When the Germans had occupied their home, Meiers had an ‘altercation’ with one of the
officers (00:06:10)
He was looking at the equipment they were stacking
One of the soldiers kicked him out of the way, so he went outside, waited for the soldier,
then threw a rock at him

�He hit the soldier but was too frightened to move; one of the officers stopped the soldier
from doing anything in retaliation
Meiers’s brother was born on the ship one day out
When the [Soviet] soldiers in brown uniforms had come to the grandparents’ house, his
mother and he were hidden in the field (the grandparents were also possibly sent to
Siberia) (00:07:30)
Germany (00:09:05)
Does not know how they got passage on the ship
Heading to Danzig, Germany
His brother was born in the captain’s quarters as the ship was crowded
Arrived in Danzig, remembers sleeping in bunks stacked three high; in a refugee camp


From there, went through three other stations on train, heading for Nuremberg



Every stop had a delousing station; ‘itched like the devil’

Arrived in Nuremberg and was herded into a gymnasium; had bunks four high
Slept on the top bunk
A man next to him, died two days later from overworking with coal sacks (not in a camp)
At this time, the bombings were happening
His father built a small room for them to live in, later moved to an apartment
All of this happened during November of 1944 to the summer of 1945
When they moved to a second floor apartment, the day before, they had gone to a bomb shelter


One of the bomb shelter’s pipes had broken and they had to stand in water during the
bombing



Meiers broke into a fever the next day

The next day, the bomb sirens were going off ten minutes between


A wall next to their apartment was shaken loose and fell against it



A piece of metal went into Meiers’s back and bled for a day

�

A neighbor from Latvia, who spoke German fluently, was with them; called her ‘Aunt’



She spoke to a German Army Doctor and convinced him to take care of Meiers



Taken in an ambulance 40 minutes out of Nuremberg to a hospital where he stayed for
six months



Saw his father only once and not his mother



Was operated on and when seeing his x-rays, it showed a hole in one of his ribs

DP [Displaced Persons] Camp (00:16:10)
Six months later, the war was over
Put on a train, was scared because he didn’t know where he was going
Arrived in Nuremberg where he met with his family again
They were already living in a camp set up for refugees


Had fences wrapped in barb wire, made him think of a war or prisoner camp

Children received two meals a day and adults received only one


Ate in a large dining hall



His mother made sure to stand in the coffee line to get a tiny shot of milk, which she
would dilute with water, for them (Meiers doesn’t like milk to this day)

There were a lot of people there who worked for the American Army; wore black uniforms


These people were possibly given the opportunity to go to America

Red Cross parcels were shipped in
The Russians came under the auspices of American Military Police to make a speech in the
square


Explained the choice of going back home (to Latvia or the ‘old country’) or to America;
26 went back home

Wasn’t a bad life in the DP Camp, during the four years of living there, the barb wired was
eventually removed

�There was a POW Camp downhill from the DP Camp near the train station; held German
soldiers guarded by Americans
The DP Camp’s name was Valka, just outside of Nuremberg (00:20:35)
Can’t remember the food, but recalls being hungry during the war and not being hungry after it
One Christmas, the GI’s rounded everyone up and took them to a gymnasium with a
Christmas tree; his first experience of chocolate that he can remember
After the war, warehouses were being cleared out and truck loads of potatoes and oranges
were being transported; his first experience with oranges
The bomb shelters had two steel doors and sometimes one could feel vibrations (00:22:35)


Recalls women always crying out during bombings, his mother would only hunch over
his younger brother who was months old

Had to be sponsored in order to move to America; Harvey Peterson (American) chose to sponsor
Meiers’s family


Peterson owned a large farm (in McBride, Michigan) and took them in out of good will

Meiers became an American citizen on June 22, 1956
Trip to America (00:25:00)
Took a ship called General Hershey, took about 9 or 10 days


His mother was sick during the journey but his father had a large appetite

Arrived in New York, didn’t stop in Ellis Island


Met by their father’s half-brother, Max Meiers, who lived in New York; was wealthy



Offered his father a job, but is father was committed to working with Harvey Peterson



Stayed with his uncle for one week

First Impressions (00:27:55)
Meiers’s first impression of New York was the foggy outline of the Statue of Liberty that the
ship was heading straight at
When they landed, and the fog cleared, it felt like it was another planet


Had never seen such tall building and so many limousines; saw only tricycles (often saw
peddlers use these), motorbikes, or German vehicles before this

�

Saw the Empire State Building, the Music Hall, etc.

The half-brother gave Meiers’s father money and all the children new clothes
His father was able to convert a German soldier’s uniform into a suit for Meiers
His father was a ‘survivor,’ he made do with what he had
An immigration photo was required when coming to America
Growing Up (00:32:25)
Lived in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in an apartment on Crescent St.
Eventually moved into a house, but Meiers was already in the Air Force by this time
Sponsored by Gerald Ford to go into the United States’ Air Force Academy
Graduated from Central High School in Grand Rapids
Enlisted after graduating (1956)
A part of Selfridge Flight (anniversary of the air field)
Sworn in on the following Monday, flown to Park’s Air Force Base
Basic Training (00:34:40)
His mother had packed a large suitcase for him (had ignored the list provided on what to bring)
Made to do Double Time, while lugging this suitcase, to the barracks (which were very far off)
Put into line once arriving in the barracks; given a set of fatigues, boots, etc.
Given tags for their satchels (or suitcase), and were shipped back home, never even opened the
suitcase
Impressions (00:36:20)
Probably the best four years of his life
Where else can you have: three meals a day, a place to sleep (security), and medical care
Boot Camp wasn’t too bad for Meier

�After service, sent to Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi


Learned Communications here (remembers being told not to be a mechanic)



Radio Communications, spent a lot of time in a radio shack

NY Overseas, Bermuda Boundaries; guided planes to the base


Had a Munich Overseas Circuit, but rarely worked there because he didn’t know Speed
Key

One experience with helping a plane that had ditched, was very nervous, but a sergeant helped
him
Satellite eventually came along, so was put to work in a Techtrol Facility


Sounded like a desk job and was reluctant about going into it



Went into a large room with two rows of teletype machines and an entire wall of
communication tools (scopes, telephones, etc.)



One man was working at the time



Meiers knew very little about radios and electronics



Told not to worry had a great teacher; learned how to operate everything (was in
Bermuda)

Shipped out to McClellan Air Force Base in California
Met by the Military Guard and was told he didn’t have clearance
The base Strategic Air Command Circuits and a Multiple Complex with eight voiced
channels and eight teletype channels
Given a cryptum signal everyday which were coordinated on each end
Since Meiers didn’t have clearance, he was put into supplies for six months
Eventually got in front of a panel and was questioned to which they already knew the answer
because the FBI had visited his mother in Grand Rapids (they withheld their reasons why)


She had written him a letter telling him this

Given his clearance

�Discharge (00:43:36)
Was given a chance for reenlistment but rank was frozen in the years following the Korean War


He would have stayed, but if there was no advancement, he would not continue

For leisure time, would usually stay on base (00:44:55)
In Bermuda, he would go to the hotel during tourist season to meet girls at punch parties
Also did a lot of bowling, go to the flat line to watch the airmen land
One time a blimp was attempting to land and everyone was called out to grab a rope;
Meier was the only one and was lifted 30 feet in the air before other men pulled the ropes
Feels the Army kept him ‘honest,’ it made him into the man he is (go in as a boy, came out as a
man)
Did not take advantage of the GI Bill when he got out, didn’t join any Veteran’s groups
Was discharged in California; stayed with a woman with two children (later became his wife)
Felt he would do fine once out of the Service, had no cause that would benefit from a group
(cause was his job)
Father was President of the Latvian Association and one of the Founders of a Credit Union
(00:50:15)
Meier was a councilman for the Association after coming back, but had moved too far away
(Greenville, Michigan) and decided to let it go
Some of his father’s friends went through different camps and had very different experiences
