Therefore i t is necessary to anticipate how many people will be living in that area, what needs and resources they will have, and how they will utilize the land to fulfill their private and public needs. During the past 10 years, the City of Royal Oak, like many other suburban communities, has experienced a major population expansion. This expansion has resulted in the utilization of a major portion of the land available for residential construction and has completely changed the need for municipal services, recreation, and other facilities in many areas. It is essential, therefore, to analyze the distribution of the existing and potential populations as they relate to the various community facilities and services, and to guide the orderly change in use of residential areas, and to anticipate the need for change and the accommodation of new uses. This report has been prepared in the form of a statistical manual which can be used as.a daily reference and in supplementary land use studies by the City Plan Commission, as well as other City departments and local agencies. - 1 - �P L A N N I N G U N I T C O N C E P T To plan for the community in manageable form and on a human scale, the community should be divided into samller units of measurement, frequently designated as "planning units". An individual problem or proposal involving a small area such as an intersection study or a rezoning request, is difficult to analyze when related entirely to the city as a whole. 'rhe analysis and resultant recommendations are more meaningful when considered in terms of the conditions of the area of direct influence. A major problem in defining the planning unit lies in the purpose for which it is being defined. Consider the variety of sub-areas of a city that are in common usage: precinct, a school district, a voting precinct. a police Each of these sub-areas are defined-for a relatively narrow purpose. The planning unit, on the other hand, is generally an attempt to group the total components--social, physical, economical and visual--which overlay an area into a single, identifiable unit for study and analysis. Whatever the theoretical desir- ability of this kind of grouping, it must be recognized that it is impossible to put it into practice so that each element fits precisely. - 2 - �Recognizing the need for this localized type of planning procedure, the Planning Department has delineated sixteen planning units, exclusive of the Central Business District, which will act as the basis for concentrated analysis of housing, population characteristics, land use, school-park facilities and needs. In delineating each unit, consideration was given to man-made and natural barriers limiting communication be~ tween various portions of the City, census tract and elementary school service boundaries. boundariesT Figure I indicates the boundaries and the number designation of each planning unit. - 3 - �LOCAL CITY CITY OF PLANNING ROYAL PLAN UNITS OAK, COMMISSION - MICHIGAN AUGUST·, 1961 FIGURE I ,_;;;;;;_. •.=J_t acc a i I _ �A S S U M P T I O N S Various assumptions form a necessary foundation on which a study of this nature is based. Only those assumptions which can be substantiated to some extent were relied upon to form a foundation for expectations of the future. The following basic assumptions were considered in this report: Land Use and Zoning The present zoning map and text, adopted in 1957, will not change appreciably in the future. Many non-conforming uses will continue to be utilized as such with very few conversions. In conjunction with the Basic Land Use Plan, the non-conforming uses within the southern industrial area will, in later years, be demolished and the area redeveloped into an industrial park. Household Size The average household size will continue to level off at approximately 3.5 persons per dwelling unit. Past trends have indicated slight increases and decreases in the Detroit area. However, during the past decennial period from 1950 to 1960, the average household size for Royal Oak has decreased one-one hundredth (from 3.53 to 3.52 persons) in persons per dwelling unit. Poaulation Expansion The City of Royal Oak will continue to be a desirable place in which to live. In the past decennial period mentioned above; the Community's population almost doubled, indicating a desire for residential sites within the City Limits. Freeway Development An east-west freeway, the location of which is unknown at present, is assumed to follow the Ten Mile Road alignment for study purposes. If, by chance another route is chosen, alterations must be made in the housing market of the individual areas affected. - 4 - �A N A L Y S I S P R O C E D U R E All research information was recorded on quarter section maps of the City. Each map covers one-quarter of a square mile, showing right-of-way and property lines, schools, parks and by symbols the type of structure on each parcel (whether it be a non-residential use, single family or the number of dwelling units within a multiple family structure). The zoning clas- sification on individual lots and parcels was denoted; using the quarter section maps as base material. The use of quarter section maps required the close cooperation of the Inspection and Engineering Departments. Inspection Department records indicate when a structure has reached the completion stage, while the Engineering Department continually revises the maps. A continuance of this close cooperation and revision is necessary to keep this analysis current and useful. Existing Housing Supply The existing housing supply was enumerated by counting individual dwelling units indicated on the quarter section maps. The number of single and multiple family units were determined separately and totaled by planning unit and on a City-wide basis. - 5 - �Vacant Land Analysis DETERMINATION OF THE NUMBER OF VACANT SITES--Vacant lots zoned for single family use were enumerated as were the number of vacant sites zoned for multiple dwelling purposes. The mul- tiple sites were theoretically developed fully with one-bedroom units to determine the total potential, while unplatted single family areas were platted and the number of possible lots determined. All vacant single family lots of record were considered buildableJ however, as previously pointed out, the structure indication on a quarter section map is merely symbolic and does not represent actual location. Therefore, when a vacant lot neighbored a lot utilized by a structure and was under common ownership; it was not considered vacant. It is unlikely that such lots will be utilized for the construction of a dwelling unit due to the possible utilization of both lots by the existing structure or some other accessory use. If unused for construction purposes at this timeJ i t is assumed that it will continue to lie vacant in the future. ADJUSTMENT OF AVAILABLE SITES--The total of existing and potential new dwelling units, offers an approximate determination of the ultimate number of dwellings. This ultimate} however, can only be achieved if every site is utilized to its maximum capacity. This complete utilization is considered unlikely, because the desirability of developing individual - 6 - �lots will decrease as the secondary neighborhood ages. A study made of communities similar in terms of population, stage of development, and relationship to a metropolitan area has demonstrated that development rarely consumes all vacant parcels within a community. Therefore, an analysis of past building trends over a five year period was used to determine a criterion to judge the likelihood of a vacant parcel's development. The tabulations of this inventory are portrayed in Figure II (Residential Building Trends 1957-1961). Based on this information the following criteria for judging the likelihood of a vacant lot being developed were determined: 1. 2. 3. 4. The general age and land use of the surrounding area. The general size and shape of vacant lots in comparison with those presently considered to be desirable as building sites. 'I'he relationship of vacant lots in an area with each other. For example, two or more vacant lots situated together are more desirable than a single lot. Finally, consideration was given to recent trends in residential construction of each planning unit. All of the vacant land available for residential development was analyzed, utilizing the above criteria as a basis for review. Following this analysis, those lots considered to be least likely or unlikely to develop in the foreseeable future were deducted from the potential housing stock. Dwelling Unit Removals Following the completion of the aforementioned tabulations, consideration was given to the possibility of dwelling unit - 7 - �RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PLANNING 1957 - 1961 TRENDS UNITS - CITY OF ROYAL OAK ,of-------'., 4'f--- - - - - - FI GURE 2 . . .Of--- -- -- - i l!!f---- 0 25f-------- - --- ~ lOf----- - - - !: Z.Of---- - ----ta AF'RlL • 1113 .J ' of----------t- j 10f---- ----l- O!-------I- .. . ___ _____ 4 ., ..,. ....., i 40.-...-.------~ lOHll-i■---- i .... ----1--:=-............... _____....

Due to proposed freeway construction and possible redevelopment activity, assumed dwelling unit losses were deducted from the adjusted housing capacity. As pointed out, although the exact location of an east-west (I-696) freeway has not been determined, a Ten Mile Road alignment was assumed for study purposes. Closely connected to I-696 development is the possible southern industrial redevelopment. I .I A reduction caused by these two possibilities, amounting to 422 homes, was deducted from the affected planning units. If another freeway route is selected, a revision of various planning unit boundaries and the number of dwelling units therein will be necessitated. Thus, this was the process used to arrive at the total possible number of dwelling units. Each individual step in the housing stock analysis is summarized in Table I (Derivation of Total Possible Dwelling Units).

Household size is a term used to describe the number of persons per dwelling unit, and is applied to the adjusted potential housing stock. As previously pointed out, it is assumed that in the foreseeable future an average of 3.5 persons per household will exist. However, the importance lies in the determination of household size by dwelling unit type, i.e., single and multiple family. Existing average household sizes for single and multiple family dwelling units were determined by a statistical sample based on the 1960 Census of Housing. Two averages, 4.2 persons per single family unit and 2.6 persons per multiple household, were applied respectively to the adjusted new potential number of dwelling units; while the existing average (3.5 persons) was applied ~o the existing number of dwelling units. The sum of all three serves as an estimate of the potential population. Potential Enrollment K-6 Elementary school requirements reflect trends in development, i.e., the location of future highways, industrial and commercial areas, redevelopment, and the density of development within the school district. Due to the present stage of - 9 - �development, pattern of land use and density of population the potential residential growth in Royal Oak has been estimated. On the basis of the current number of dwelling units and the public elementary school enrollment a ratio of 0 . 47 public elementary school children per dwelling unit was determined. This ratio was then applied to the total potential dwelling units in each planning unit to arrive at a figure for the future enrollment. In addition to enrollment figures, data . was collected on current school plant and site capacities which are discussed in connection with the respective planning units. A standard of one acre per 100 pupils was uti- lized to determine school site needs. It should be noted that there are on the average 0.6 elementary school children per dwelling unit. However, approximately 22% (a reduction of the average.number of elementary school children per dwelling unit from 0.6 to 0.47 pupils) of the school children do not attend a public school. Many of which attend one of the four parochial schools located within the city. This average varies from one district to the next, increasing as high as 40% in those attendance areas which are within the immediate area of a parochial school. The overall average (0.47) was utilized to project the future public school enrollment due to the inconsistence of attendance area and planning unit boundaries. Therefore, the projected enrollments - 10 - �P L A N N I N G U N I T S The City of Royal Oak contains an area of 7,610.7 acres. Its population is estimated at 84,595 persons housed in 24,170 dwelling units. There is available space to accommodate an additional 2,906 dwellings. The total holding capacity was determined to be 27,076 dwelling units. If this full capacity is reached, there will be an estimated 93,945 persons residing within the City. The public elemen- tary school enrollment may bulge from 11,280 pupils to more than 12,726 pupils. The way in which individual planning units receive the growth potential is discussed in the following sections and included in Table II (Estimated Development and Population by Planning Unit). - 12 - �TABLE II ESTIMATED DEVELOPMENT AND POPULATION BY PLANNING UNIT(A) EXISTING NUMBER OF DWELLINGS POTENTIAL NEW POTENTIAL NEW MULTI-FAMILY DWELLINGS TOTAL POTENTIAL DWELLINGS POPULATION POTENTIAL 926 1202 3518 565 23.05 35.l 12,0 0 5.6 5.6 138 17 2337 8261 1098 36. 67 82.6 45.9 4.43 10.9 6.6 1350 34 108 1492 5149 701 100.5~£) 51.4 -49.l 11.28 7.0 0 396.7 1216 43 310 1569 5243 737 67.16 52.4 -14.8 19.76 7.3 0 s 349. 3 595 14 0 609 2141 286 143.31 21.4 -121. 9 7.18 2. 8 0 6 548.8 1714 189 41 1944 6899 914 45. 78 68.9 23.l 18.66 ., 9.1 0 668.l 2030 91 55 2176 7630 1023 41. 71 76.3 34.6 7.63 10.2 2.6 B 651.2 2231 152 33 2416 8533 1136 46.10 85.3 39.2 6 . 76 11.3 4.5 9 476.4 1566 143 219 1928 6651 906 11. 76 66.5 54.7 11. 76 9.0 0 10 3B7 .2 1390 33 15 1438 5043 676 14. 76 50.4 35.6 5.13 6.7 l.5 11 310.4 1199 42 9 1250 4396 588 15.40 43.9 28. 5 0 5.8 5.8 12 653. 9 2597 107 0 2704 9539 1271 35.56 95.3 59. 7 17.81 12.7 0 13 250.l 639 36 112 787 2679 370 14.87 26.7 11.8 4.89 3.7 0 14 357. 9 1664 -26 (a) 16 1654 5775 777 6.77 57.7 50.9 6.77 7.7 0.9 15 536.8 2365 18 (cl 19 2402 8403 1129 21.25 84.0 62.7 5.65 U.2 5.5 16 365.4 1228 -197 (o) 3 1034 3616 486 3.73 36 , l 32.4 2.45 4.8 2.3 CBD 105.6 134 0 0 134 469 63 0 4.6 4.6 0 0 0 TOTAL 7610.7 24,170 1,023 1,883 27,076 93,945 12,726 628.40 939.4 311.0 130.16 125.8 35.3 AREA PLANNING UNIT IN ACRES l 321.8 70 206 2 706.9 2102 3 524.2 4 / • (A) • (a) (C) (o) (E) SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS POTENTIAL K-6 ENROLLMENT EXISTING REC.

DEVELOPMENT: Planning unit one, being 90% undeveloped, has the greatest potential for industrial and residential growth. Approximately one-half (122.9 acres) of the area is zoned for industrial purposes under the present zoning conditions. There are approximately 50 acres developed for industrial purposes, leaving more than 70 acres for future industrial growth. The residential holding capacity is 1202 dwelling units with a population potential of approximately 3,518 persons, including 565 public elementary school pupils. If this potential is reached, there would be a 94% increase in residential development within the unit. • I I I SCHOOL-PARK FACILITIES: An elementary school would be required to accommodate the estimated K-6 enrollment. A school site of 6 or 7 acres would be adequate and also substantially eliminate the recreational needs of the unit. - 13 - �PLANNING 2 UNIT Dwelling Unit Potential .•....... 2,337 Population Potential ......... 8,261 Elementary School Potential ......... 1,098 Recreational Land (Acres) •.......... 36.67 BIRD School•••••········ Park• • • • • • • • • · · · · • • "'> D - . ., 0 a: > 0: "◄ ..

If this capacity is reached, approximately 8,261 persons and 1,098 elementary school pupils may be expected to reside in the area. The unit contains a large amount of land zoned for commercial use, which serves as a retail center for both this unit and the surrounding area. There are 39.7 acres commercially zoned which are generally located along Woodward Avenue and concentrated at the Northwood Shopping Center. SCHOOL-PARK FACILITIES: I I The estimated increased population puts an additional burden on an already over-burdened school-park plant. The Parker Elementary School, serving the entire unit, is situated on an inadequate site and will be unable to handle the potential K-6 enrollment. There is a net recreational need of 45 acres (45.9 in table) required to adequately serve the expanded population. It should be noted that 19.5 acres of the existing 36 . 67 acres of recreational land are leased and not owned by the City. _j .i - 14 - �PLANNING 3 UNIT Dwelling Unit Potential ...... 1,492 Population Potential ....•• 5,149 Elementary School Potential •...••.. 701 Recreational Land (Acres) •.....• 100.52 School···········D Park . . . . . . . . . • . . • • "' ...

DEVELOPMENT: The holding capacity of this planning unit is 1,569 dwelling units. If this potential is reached, approximately 5,243 persons and 737 public elementary school children may be expected to reside within the unit. Residential development is limited to some extent by the proportionally large amount of nonresidential lands (i.e., industrial, 47.3 acres; commercial, 3.2 acres; and recreational, 66.6 acres) which comprise about 30% of the area. SCHOOL-PARK FACILITIES: Existing recreational facilities compare favorably with the projected growth. However, Starr and Jefferson Elementary Schools, which together serve planning unit four as well as other units, will not be adequate in the future. The Jefferson attendance area encompasses all of planning unit one and that portion of unit four which lies north of Normandy Road. Planning unit one alone has a potential K-6 population which exceeds the enrollment capacity of Jefferson. The Starr School attendance area contains the southern part of this unit and a portion of unit eight. Although the school attendance and planning unit boundaries do not coincide, i t is possible to determine the adequacy of the Starr School plant utilizing the raw data collected and school census figures as a control factor. Based on this data, there are indications that the Starr School district will surpass its enrollment capacity in the near future. - 16 - �PLANNING 5 UNIT Dwelling Unit Potential .....•••... 609 Population Potential . . . . . . . . . 2,141 Elementary School Potential . • . . . . . . . . . 286 Recreational Land (Acres) . . . . . . • . . . . 143.31 c 0: I I z .. 0 > ~I 0 I KIMBALL H, S, I H[ST[R [l(GlEWO WCOOLAW IOI I O l AN "0: L4WR[NC BLDOII F E l 0 a: Q tr .. .. > ..

Main Street on the east, Thirteen Mile Road on the south and Crooks Road on the west serve as additional boundaries, encompassing an area of 349.3 acres. DEVELOPMENT: A potential of 14 new homes may be expected in addition to the 595 existing dwellings providing a total holding capacity of 609 dwelling units. If full capacity is reached, an estimated 2,141 persons and 286 public elementary school children may be expected to reside in the area. Residential growth is limited to some extent by large lot sizes and a large amount of land devoted to recreational purposes (143.31 Acres) in this relatively small planning unit. SCHOOL-PARK FACILITIES: There are more than adequate recreational lands to serve the needs of the residents within the unit. Emerson Elementary School is capable of accommodating the potential K-6 enrollment requirements of the unit. However, the school's attendance district encompasses an optional enrollment area, making it impossible to determine the total enrollment potential on the basis of the information compiled. The term "optional enrollment area 11 describes a district in which residents may send their children to one or another elementary school. - 17 - �PLANNING UNIT 6 Dwelling Unit Potential ...•..••• 1,944 Population Potential ......••. 6,899 Elementary School Potential •••••••••.• 914 Recreational Land (Acres) •.••••••.•• 45.78 School••··········· D Park••·············- �P L A N N I N G U N I T 6 DESCRIPTION: Planning unit six, located in the northeast corner of the City, is bounded by the Cities of Clawson, Troy and Madison Heights. The boundary on the south and west is Thirteen Mile Road and Main Street respectively. This unit contains an area of 548.8 acres. DEVELOPMENT: There are 1,714 dwelling units and 230 additional vacant sites adequate for residential development. When available land is utilized, approximately 6,899 persons,including 914 elementary school pupils may be expected to reside within the unit. SCHOOL-PARK FACILITIES: The Mark TWain and Oak Ridge Elementary Schools serve the unit and outlying areas. Although the Mark TWain site is adequate in terms of acres per pupil to serve the entire unit, its attendance area includes only a portion of the unit and a part of the City of Troy; making it impossible to determine the potential enrollment. The Oak Ridge Elementary School, not located within the unit, is unable to cope with its present enrollment. The overflow of pupils is accommodated at the Mary Lyon Junior High School. Nine rooms of the Junior High School are utilized by fifth and sixth grade students which would otherwise attend Oak Ridge School. Recreational facilities are inadequate to meet the needs of the estimated population. Approximately 23 acres are required in addition to the existing school-park sites . - 18 - �7 UNIT PLANNING ----------......c.J;'.c'1 ·._;·-----~--~ wo=i.~s CIE. _ ..... 1•u --------' - - - - - - - - - - ~ > __s_,_~7,l,.......1.::::.::::.::::.::::="=·=·=·=-·===--:j V E ..R_O_____. ~======$=U="="==1=8=~=0=0==•===--~--R _O_ _, E: ,, c ,, ::, Y[ .r ~ II J ~ c c~::;::::::': · J,., !: .. :::N:::':::':::•:::•:::•.:::· ;cl / - ._. .••• - ~ ";, ':. ::===========::! i, ( [ Dwelling Unit Potential • .••..... 2,176 Population Potential ......... 7,630 Elementary School Potential. ...•.... 1, 023 Recreational Land (Acres) ..••...••.. 41.71 School . . . . . . . . . . . . .

DEVELOPMENT: Planning unit seven, containing 668.1 acres, is the second largest in the City. Its holding capacity, limited by the large amount of acreage devoted to the Red Run Golf Club, is 2,176 dwelling units. If this capacity is reached, approximately 7,630 persons and 1,023 K-6 pupils may be expected to reside within the unit. SCHOOL-PARK FACILITIES: Recreational facilities are inadequate to meet the requirements of the projected population. An additional 35 acres (34.6 in table) are required to bring the existing recreational facilities up to accepted standard. The Oak Ridge Elementary School, located within this unit, serves only a portion of the area.

SCHOOL-PARK FACILITIES: The recreational facilities are inadequate to meet the needs of the unit's estimated population. An additional 40 acres (39.2 in table) will provide the necessary recreational lands. The Northwood Elementary School, located within the unit, draws its enrollment from portions of units seven, eight, nine, ten and eleven. The enrollment potential could not be determined from the data collected because of the inconsistence between planning unit and attendance area boundaries. Similar situations exist between other attendance areas and units. - 20 - �PLANNING UNIT 9 lling Unit l 928 ow;otential ......••• , o ulation PP tial ••.•.. ••• 6,651 Paten School 06 Elementa:y ••••.••• 9 Potential ••• d r Rec eational Lan ••.•.. 11.76 (Acres)•···· ~oo - : ..

If this full capacity is reaehed, approximately 6,651 persons, including 906 elementary school pupils may be expected to reside in the area. SCHOOL-PARK FACILITIES: There are no public parks in this planning unit. All of the recreational facilities are located at one school site, consisting of 11.76 acres, located within the unit. Jane Addams Elementary School is well located, serving in general the entire planning unit. Although unable to meet the projected enrollment, it should be noted that a greater than average portion of pupils in this area do not attend the public school. This is due to the proximity of the Shrine of the Little Flower School.

DEVELOPMENT: Residential development in this unit is limited to some extent by the large amount of acreage devoted to non-residential uses. Approximately 35 acres are zoned for commercial purposes which are generally located on the Eleven Mile Road and Main Street frontage. The three cemeteries located within the City are all situated in this unit containing 101.87 acres. The unit has the largest number of existing dwellings, as well as, the greatest holding capacity, consisting of 2,597 and 2,704 homes respectively. Its potential population is approximately 9,539 persons, including 1,271 K-6 pupils. SCHOOL-PARK FACILITIES: Recreational needs are greater than normal in this unit due to the high density of residential development. The existing facilities do not compare favorably with population requirements, indicating a net need of 59.7 acres. The unit is served by both the Lockman and Whittier Elementary Schools. The potential enrollment of Lockman cannot be calculated because it serves portions of Madison Heights which is outside the study area. Based on the data collected, the Whittier School may expect approximately 850 pupils. This amounts to a small portion above the desired capacity. - 24 - �PLANNING .. .. 0 = "' E :::, u ~ z ~ ~ ~ : > z " ~ I z u ~ u ~ous re-,,. •~E 0 13 Dwelling Unit Potential ........•.• 787 Population Potential ......... 2,679 Elementary School Potential .•••.•..•.• 370 Recreational Land (Acres) ........... 14.87 .. ...

The holding capacity of the unit is 787 dwellings, housing approximately 2,679 persons and 370 elementary school children. It should be noted that those homes in the path of the proposed Chrysler Freeway were not included in the enumeration. SCHOOL-PARK FACILITIES: Although there is an indicated recreational requirement of 11.8 acres, on the basis of size and holding capacity the existing facilities would appear to be adequate. In addition to the facilities in planning unit thirteen; the Lockman School site, located within planning unit twelve, is accessable to a major portion of the residents of the unit. The Lincoln Elementary School serves a portion of this unit.and planning unit fourteen; as well as, a small portion of Madison Heights located east of Stephenson Highway.

DEVELOPMENT: The planning unit contains a large amount of property zoned for commercial and industrial purposes {31.0 and 38.3 acres respectively). The holding capacity of this unit is 2,402 dwelling units. It should be pointed out that this capacity will be limited to some extent by a reduction of 60 homes due to the proposed east-west freeway. If the full capacity is reached, an estimated 8,403 persons and 1,129 K-6 pupils may be expected to reside in the planning unit. SCHOOL-PARK FACILITIES: This unit has a net recreational need of 62.7 acres . This high recreational need reflects the high population density residing in the area and the lack of existing recreational facilities. The expected K-6 enrollment is served by the Grant and Franklin Elementary Schools. Although both school plants are capable of handling the potential enrollment, the school sites are small in terms of current site standards. - 27 - �PLANNING ...... .. .. .. ., ... ► .J Q .J ~ -~ "- " ... ..,, .J :::, ""Q UNIT 16 �P L A NN I NG U N I T 16 DESCRIPTION: Planning unit sixteen, containing 365.4 acres, lies in the southwest corner of the city. It is bounded on the north by Eleven Mile Road, on the east by the Central Business District and the Grand Trunk right-of-way and on the south and west by the City Limits. DEVELOPMENT: This unit contains 27.2 acres of industrial land and the largest amount of property (49.0 acres) zoned for commercial purposes. The unit will experience a net reduction of 197 dwellings in the future, due to the construction of the proposed Interstate Freeway (I-696) and the possible redevelopment of the industrial area bounded by the Grand Trunk, Ten Mile, Main, and Lincoln rights-of-way. If previous assumptions are correct, the holding capacity will be 1,034 dwelling units, housing an estimated 3,616 persons and 486 elementary school children. SCHOOL-PARK FACILITIES: The recreation facilities, consisting of 3.73 acres, are totally inadequate. There are four park sites containing a total of 1.28 acres.

A small town. There were approx. 13 students in his high school class. (00:33) He has three brothers. (00:50) His family worked as dairy farmers. The boys in the family had chores and jobs to do on the farm such as feed chickens. (1:03) He was involved in sports and athletics during his high school career. (1:25) He attended Bern High School in Kansas. (1:37) Because he didn’t have any sisters the boys were often made to do work in the garden or wash dishes. (1:48) He wasn’t a very good student due to the belief that he would never leave Sabetha. (2:05) The family was fairly poor but they had plenty of food. (2:20) He graduated from Bern High School in May 1968. (2:40) In October of 1969 he was drafted into the U.S. Army. (3:18) He was then sent to Fort Jackson in South Carolina. (3:50) He attended Fort Sam Houston for his basic training. (3:55) Basic training (4:00)      While in service he was an operating room technician. This meant that he would clean and prepare doctors tools before and during surgeries. (4:06) He enjoyed this opportunity and the fact that he could be so close to surgeries and observe. (4:24) He was sent to Fort Ord, California for 6 months to receive further training. (4:32) From California he was sent to Vietnam in August of 1970. (4:35) His only memory of his instructors was the yelling and how they tried to intimidated the young men. (5:00) Service in Vietnam (5:32)     He was sent to Chu Lai in northern South Vietnam. (5:35) Chu Lai was a fishing village with some farming. The people there were very poor. (5:58) The locals didn’t really want the war, so they preferred to stay out of the way and simply farm their land. (6:19) While stationed here he stayed in small steel huts with no air conditioning. The weather was typically 100-105 degrees and very humid. (7:18) �          The windows remained closed at all times in the work rooms because they did not want any sort of partials coming in to affect surgery. (7:30) He also noticed that the country had a very odd smell. (7:35) He worked in an Evacuation Hospital at Chu Lai. This consisted of four hospital operating rooms and a helipad. (8:42) While there the men did neurosurgery, general surgery, orthopedic surgery. He believes everything short of delivering a baby. (9:10) His job consisted of putting the men under anesthesia when they were going to be operated on as well as cleaning the wound before the surgeon would begin the operation. Often times after this surgery, the men were medevaced to Japan or the U.S. (9:40) He recalls having to operate on men who have been burned by napalm or had napalm still on them. (11:05) While in service he was never injured. (11:56) He appreciated the people who he worked with, particularly the surgeons. The surgeons had twelve years of medical training only to end up in Vietnam and were bitter about it but were still dedicated. (12:06) He kept in touch with his family by mail. (12:54) He made friends with locals as well as the men he served with however he has not remained in touch with them. (13:10) End of Service in Vietnam Approx. (1971) (13:45)        He brought a calendar with him to track his time in Vietnam. (13:45) When he got back the army offered the men whatever the men wanted to eat. (14:20) He used the G.I. Bill to attended Kansas City University and Wichita State University for his undergraduate work. He studied anesthesia. (14:50) He has worked in Hastings, Saginaw, and Lansing Michigan doing mostly freelance work in anesthesia. (16:02) He met his wife at a friend’s house while in college. (16:17) He has three children (2 boys and 1 girl.) (16:30) He came to Michigan due to the connection he had with a job and his brother-in-law. He loved the weather in Michigan as well. (17:00) Thoughts on the war (18:23)       While in Vietnam, the soldiers were not informed to the degree of unpopularity of the conflict in Vietnam in the States. (18:40) There was an underground network of soldiers who feed more accurate details than what the U.S. Army provided from the U.S. to the soldiers. (19:00) He returned from Vietnam in 1971. When he returned people were not supportive of the soldiers. (19:35) He doesn’t feel bitter about not being recognized for his service while soldiers today are. (20:15) He finds it interesting to hear people’s opinions about war that haven’t experienced it. (20:15) While in Vietnam, he recalls becoming accustomed to mortars detonating and machine gun fire. When he returned home he recalled if feeling very quiet. (20:30) �     He recalls the first time he saw a dead person (one the same age as him) and how he was frightened by it. (22:11) He also recalls witnessing the operations of men who have lost limbs and how shocked he was by this. (22:50) The Military learned a lot about medical care as a result of the speed that surgeon needed to work at and experiences as a result of the war. (23:32) It was not uncommon to lose light or electricity during surgery. To compensate one man would hold a flash light to shine light on the operating areas. (26:00) It was not uncommon during the rain season to have the operating room flood. (26:46) Encounters with the Locals (27:00)               Many locals rode bikes. (27:27) He was sympathetic to the Vietnamese people who he believed did not want the war. (28:42) The natives were also eager to sell and trade to obtain tin to put on their roof. (this was a sign of prestige) (29:30) There was not a lot for the soldiers to do when there was no one at the hospital. He spent much of his free time playing basketball. (30:40) The Vietnamese loved watches, flip flops, and sun glasses and were eager to obtain them from Americans. (31:24) Natives were offered American Payment Certificates to work at the base. (32:24) He had all of his money sent to America because there wasn’t anything he could do with into in Vietnam. (33:10) The man made fairly good money as a result of their service in Vietnam. (33:26) One evening he was invited to dinner and was fed a delicacy, squid over rice. But he decided not to eat it. (33:51) He recalls that the market had a high number of flies attracted by the raw meat and fish. (35:07) The vendors at the market were very eager to sell goods to Americans. (35:45) He recalls that drugs were very easy to obtain as was alcohol. There was a large problem with heroin. (36:06) He tried his best to stay away from drinking and drugs. (37:50) If he ever smells marijuana he thinks back to Vietnam because he smelled it there every day. (38:10) Final Thoughts on Military Service (39:29)     For a young person, he believes the military is not that bad of a career. But it is important for those interested to learn discipline. (39:40) In spite thinking he would stay in contact with the men he met in the service, he no longer is in contact with them. (40:25)] Most of the surgeons he worked with in Vietnam have since retired. (40:43) He believes the way the military was run is better now than it was when he served. (41:05) �   If he wasn’t drafted he thinks he would have enlisted for the Vietnam War because he wanted to go to a place aside from his home town and see the world as well as experience combat. (41:25) He was undecided on career choice when he got out of high school. (42:20) He thinks the military is immensely improved as a result of the requirement that members are required to have a high school diploma.
