In these days when chenge and confusion are rife throughout the world, it is heartening to find a people whose devotion to the ancient faith of their father~ re1naine unaltered throt141h the centuries, If every A~erican pledged the sama steadfast allegiance to the principles of liberty t.nd freedom upon which our great democracy ie founded, the future security and welfare of the United States would be assured. During the fifty years since Congregation l3 1l1ai Israel was established, it has not only served its mcmber3 well but has contributed in no slllall measure to the commu.nity life of the City of Muskegon. It ie my earnest hope that in the years to col:18, as in the paet, Congregation l3 1Nai Israel will continue steadi ly to grow and prosper. Sincerely, c~~~ GOVERNOR • �• • I �..

For in lhe library of Rahbl Cohen's home. or in lhe Hackley Li. brory. is where our friend spenl a (/Teat deal of his lime. In lus Sunday School work, the children from the little lob lo the confirmation doss. oil loved their Rabbi and were proud to have him tolk to them. If only for a few minutes. His love for the children was •incere, which began with his own ,on who. in hio way ol thinking, wn, a gilt from God. Hec«I, Hen.el was married, and In the course of lime was hleued with a dauahter. No prouder Grandparent ever lived, Rabbi Cohen told lhe wo,fd he now must be treoled with more respc<:t. He wos a Grandfather. He was very humble. and well do l remember when he wa, a guest speaker at M,tskgon Hl11h School. Refre,hmenl• were served ofter his t;,Jk. "How different ii 1$ In Ru,slo," be said. "11..ere a large loaf ol rye bread must la&t n famlly for two weeks. It is unheard of to offer a friend a aandwlch, for if you dtd, you would flO hungry. What a blessed country thla 1$. How wonderful are Its people." A, I became better acquninled with him, I grew more fond of Rabbi Cohen Md realized that lhrough clrcumstancu I wa, being bl.,,ed with o beautiful lr1end,h1p and a rare charocter. Rabbi Cohen cnmc to Mu,kegon in Mny. 1937 to serve lhe Jewish Congregation and here he spent the remainder of hi, life. He was po5<essed will. a breadth of vl•lon and a bnck11round of eduutlon. trovd, and experience. He freely gave of hi• services to civic as well as to religiou, nITnirs. H"- recognized. ond accepled responsibility of community service. He was poss«secl with a great sense of humor. He wu the type of clti>.cn to be valued in any city, eapecially tbrou11h lryihg lime,, when 10ne leaderahip was so ur11ently needed. \,Vhen the Jew was persecuted In Germany. he could not eat he felt so badly. When he spoke nt an American Legion meeting before we entered the Second World War. he told hio audience 1he Jew of Muskegon will do his duty when called on. nnd how right he wa,, witb 60 to 75 families, over 44 Jewish boy• from Muskegon acrved in the Second World War. In our ,cvcral tnllu together. I a.sked Rabbi Cohen why he didn't go to a larger community where they could nfford to pay him a higher salary, aa he well deserved lor hi• ability. He replied, .. , was n Rabbi in Chicago. hut I like a smaller community like Mu•kegqn. Here I lmow them all. I can call them Sam. Harry. and Leo. In a lar~•r community l am n•ked to marry people I never anw before and probnbly never will s« again, ancl eulogize tho dead whom I never knew.'' Money did not ba,·e n high value in Rabbi Cohen'• hfe. 11,e privilege of knowing R!lbb! Cohen wa, mine and your,. He made a bette, community or Muakeeon during hio life here wrth U$, His name will always be insctibecl In our heurts. Whrle our Good Lord Blessed thlo congregotlon with the fruit of lu, lnbor, like Mo••• who never entered the Promised Land, 10 God took our Rahhi lo hta borne on high. wnhout him hein~ able to &ee 1hu ma11nlficent Temple. To you. Mn. Cohen and Hcrzcl. u given the honor of seeing th1$ b,autlful Temple. the Library witb Rabbi's lovely boob. and the sohool rooms. The many children. whom he so denrly loved. will carry on the studies of Judatsm. It I• w ith grent pride.

(00:05) While unhooking the man Wayne was caught by a nurse. She called in a doctor who assisted in unhooking the wounded soldier. (1:40) A two star general make rounds in the hospital every 2 weeks to pin purple hearts on the pillows of the wounded. One of Wayne’s friends told him to tell the general to just throw the medal away because if the general had listened to the men on the ground in the first place he wouldn’t have gotten hurt. (3:10) Wayne was in the hospital. Wayne was given the option to stay in Vietnam or to rest in Japan, and then be sent to serve the rest of his time back in the states. Wayne decided to stay in Vietnam because it would result in him being out quicker. (5:02) Service in Vietnam (6:38) • • • • • • • • • He spent approx a month and a half in a hospital in Cam Ranh Bay. When Wayne returned to his unit he was given the job of a jeep driver. (6:49) During Wayne’s last 2 months in the service he elected to be a sergeant back in the field. (8:22) For his last month with his company, men really went out in the field; they mostly were put on a base. (10:10) Men often got very nervous the closer their time approached to leave (10:45) Newspaper clippings of operations that Wayne’s platoon were in. (11:49) During one operation a helicopter was shot down resulting in many men being carried in it being thrown out of the aircraft on to the ground. This event resulted in many wounded. (13:00) This accident required that the men be vertically extracted from the area. There were so many casualties that they were flown to 3 different hospitals. (13:50) One man who was knocked out was left behind. When the men retuned the next day to retrieve him, the man had buried himself for cover and he was found alive. (14:30) One of the cooks who Wayne knew fairly well was killed when a stove exploded. He lived for 1 month with fatal burns before dying. (16:40) Thoughts on Service (17:49) • • • • He was discharged in approx. 1970. (17:20) He thought that the Vietnam was controlled by politics and thusly was very frustrating. (18:30) He thinks that the Vietnam War, when it began, was necessary. (18:55) He believes that the actions taken in Iraq were also needed as well. (19:20) �• The restrictions on what solders could and could not do during the war was very frustrating for the men involved. (21:08) Medals and Documents (22:04) • He was awarded 2 purple hearts.

at the time, Wyeth was known for making baby formula (00:01:05:00)  Originally, Underwood’s father worked in the company’s shipping and receiving department, although he was later promoted to be the supervisor of the shipping and receiving department (00:01:28:00) o Underwood’s grandmother owned a cottage in Harrison, Michigan and Underwood’s family spent a lot of time there during the summer (00:01:41:00)  Underwood attended school in Mason and graduated from high school in June 1964 (00:01:53:00) o After graduating, Underwood attended Lansing Community College to study criminal justice; apart from going to school, Underwood also worked part-time in the men’s department at a department store in Mason (00:02:00:00) o Underwood married his wife before he went into the service and she worked at a credit bureau in Mason (00:02:29:00) o Underwood ended up being drafted while still in college, so he had to wait until his enlistment was over before returning to finish it (00:02:45:00)  Underwood did not receive a deferment while attending the college because he dropped below twelve credits, which was the limit from the draft board for deferments (00:02:56:00)  Underwood received his draft notice around March 1967, with orders to report the following month (00:03:09:00) o Underwood would read the newspapers very thoroughly, so he was at least aware of what was going on in Vietnam (00:03:23:00) o When he was drafted, Underwood hoped that he would be deployed to Europe instead of Vietnam (00:03:56:00) o Underwood’s father had served during World War II and was captured by the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge (00:04:06:00)  When Underwood received his draft notice, his father was concerned, just because of what was going on in Vietnam; like Underwood, his family was hoping he would go to Europe as well (00:04:16:00) o When he received his draft notice, Underwood had not yet gone through a physical for the military (00:04:44:00) o After receiving his draft notice, Underwood went to the local draft board and was placed onboard a bus with other draftees, which then took them to Fort Wayne in Detroit (00:04:52:00) �  Once at Fort Wayne, Underwood and the other draftees went through physicals and testing (00:05:01:00)  While waiting to do the physical, Underwood saw some of the other draftees trying several different methods to try and fail the physical; some of the draftees took large amounts of salt to spike their blood pressure but all the testers would do was make the man wait and do the physical over again (00:05:20:00)  The physical the draftees went through was quite rigorous; they were forced to strip to nothing but their underwear and the doctors then proceeded to go over them “stem to stern” (00:05:51:00)  As far as Underwood could tell, the doctors were rejecting some of the draftees, with eyesight and flat feet being some of the major reasons why the doctors rejected them (00:06:08:00)  Apart from the physicals, the draftees also had to go through a battery of tests, including standard IQ tests and tests related to the different occupations with in the Army (00:06:35:00)  Based on the answers that a draftee would give, the Army would try to fit a draftee into an occupation that the Army felt the draftee would be best suited for (00:06:58:00)  However, it was not until Underwood had gotten through basic training that he was officially given an occupation, working in the mortar fire direction center (00:07:09:00) After finishing at Fort Wayne, Underwood and the other draftees were taken by train straight to basic training at Fort Knox, Kentucky (00:07:38:00) o When the men arrived in Kentucky, they were taken off the train and placed on buses; it was not until the buses reached the base that the recruits received their “welcome” from the drill instructors (00:07:49:00) o During the first few days, the recruits went through processing, with the Army taking their names, blood type, and any other information that had been sent with the recruits from Fort Wayne (00:08:07:00)  The recruits were then assigned to a training company and sent to a company barracks (00:08:21:00)  In Underwood’s company, there were a couple of other men from the Lansing area, as well as men from other parts of Michigan and surrounding states; however, Underwood mostly stuck with the two men from Lansing during the training (00:08:54:00) o On any given day during basic training, the recruits woke up, went into formation, followed by PT (physical training), after which small groups were broken off to train with different things, such as pugil sticks for bayonet training, going to the rifle range, map reading, etc. (00:09:35:00) o The drill instructors placed a lot of emphasis on discipline; in a combat zone, the men would not have time to think, only to react, and discipline got the men into that type of mindset (00:10:36:00) o It was not too difficult for Underwood to adjust to life in the Army, in particular the physical aspects, because he had been an athlete during his school days and � was not too far removed from those days that he did not remember what he needed to do (00:11:01:00)  The drill instructors had elected to make Underwood a squad leader, although he was apprehensive about the assignment because he had always heard to never volunteer for anything in the Army and to never be first or last (00:11:40:00)  Once he became a squad leader, Underwood was responsible not only for himself but also for the squad (00:11:56:00)  Underwood had never been much of an angry person and authority had never bother him, so he understood the harassment part of the training was to push the recruits (00:12:06:00)  Being a squad leader during basic training was not that big of a deal; nobody’s life was on the line (00:12:33:00)  Nevertheless, Underwood was still responsible for making sure the other recruits had everything in order; the drill instructors expected each of the squads (usually between five or six recruits) to work together to complete any tasks given to them (00:12:46:00) o Basic training lasted for eight weeks, which was capped by a graduating ceremony on the base’s parade ground and all of the recruits in the training companies, accompanied by their drill instructors (00:13:01:00)  One of Underwood’s drill instructors was a short, black man who Underwood ended up seeing again, when Underwood was deployed to Vietnam (00:13:14:00) After finishing basic training, the recruits received new orders for the next part of their training; when Underwood’s orders came and he saw he was going to Fort Polk, Louisiana, he knew where he would be headed after training (00:13:45:00) o Underwood immediately reported to Fort Polk after finishing basic training; he was not allowed to go on a leave (00:14:11:00)  In order to get to Fort Polk, Underwood and the other recruits assigned to that base flew from Fort Knox to Shreveport, Louisiana and then took buses to Fort Polk (00:14:21:00)  As the buses got closer to Fort Polk, the men started seeing bamboo fences; even the main entrance to the training area was made from bamboo and had a sign across the top that read “Tiger School” (00:14:28:00)  By the time Underwood arrived at the base, it was summer time and very hot; when the men got off the airplane in Shreveport, it was like someone slapped them in the face (00:14:51:00)  Although the heat somewhat prepared the men for Vietnam, Vietnam was on another level of heat and humidity (00:15:07:00) o Although the buildings on the base looked like any typical Army post, the terrain was entirely different than most other bases and a lot of the time, the recruits were sent into the field to train (00:15:35:00) o Although the training the men did was preparation for Vietnam, it was not what actual combat was like (00:16:06:00) �  Underwood did receive some infantry training but because of his MOS (Military Occupational Specialty), the majority of his advanced training was spent reading maps, figuring out coordinates, etc. (00:16:22:00)  Underwood’s MOS as a mortarman meant either being in the field with an infantry line unit or in the rear with the mortar tubes (00:16:50:00)  If he was in the field, Underwood would be the person calling back for not only mortars but also artillery; if he was in the rear, Underwood would be working in a fire direction center that actually called coordinates up to the guns (00:16:54:00)  On one of the last days of training, each of the men were given a dead chicken, a bag of rice, and a can of water and told to make their own dinner out of that (00:18:03:00)  After the meal, the men were sent into the “jungle” area of the base and they had to move through an area where there would be “aggressors” on either side (00:18:23:00) o If a recruit was “captured”, he would be taken to a fauxprison camp and put through some of the things that might happen in Vietnam if they were captured (00:18:42:00)  The men who made it through the entire area were told they had graduated, although the men who were captured graduated as well; Underwood himself made it through the area without being captured (00:19:04:00)  The recruits did not receive a lot of training in how to deal with the local Vietnamese civilian population; Underwood did not learn how to do that until he got to Vietnam (00:19:25:00)  The recruits did go through seminars and training about the various booby-traps the enemy might use and what the recruits needed to look for; luckily, the area where Underwood ended up being deployed to did not have a lot of booby-traps (00:19:36:00) o Most all of the instructors who were training the recruits had already served in Vietnam (00:19:54:00)  For the most part, the instructors were helpful, although they would really let a recruit know if he screwed up (00:20:04:00)  The biggest emphasis was on not screwing up and if a recruit did not screw up, then he was doing alright (00:20:11:00)  Although most of the instructors had served in Vietnam, there were a few who had not (00:20:45:00)  In Underwood’s case, one of those instructors was during basic training and according to Underwood, the instructor was a “pain in the rear end” (00:20:47:00) The advanced training at Fort Polk lasted for almost eight weeks as well; when the training was over, Underwood received a leave home and orders to report to Oakland, California (00:21:22:00) o Underwood’s leave home was for thirty days (00:21:46:00)  Whenever Underwood had graduated from a training section, his parents came to the graduation ceremony (00:21:56:00) � When Underwood came home on his leave, he and his family did not really talk about his impending deployment to Vietnam; although Underwood’s father talked about it a little bit, Underwood cannot imagine what it was like to have someone leave for a combat zone (00:22:04:00)  Underwood’s father knew what being in combat was like and his mother knew what it was like to have a loved one in a combat zone, having married Underwood’s father prior to his deployment to Europe (00:22:36:00) o Once his leave was over, Underwood flew from Lansing to Oakland (00:23:10:00)  The facility in Oakland was a huge military processing center and all the men who went through it received a battery of shots and more information about where they would be heading (00:23:18:00)  At this point, Underwood still did not know which unit he would be joining in Vietnam (00:23:38:00)  Underwood probably spent about a week in Oakland; the men could not get off the base, so apart from going to the various classes and seminars, they stayed in the barracks (00:23:48:00)  When Underwood and the other men received their orders, they knew that they were going to be deployed to Vietnam; however, they did not know where specifically in Vietnam, when they would be leaving, and how exactly they would get to Vietnam (00:24:14:00)  The men were divided into groups at the processing center and individual groups would deploy together (00:24:30:00)  While at the processing center, Underwood was assigned his uniforms and equipment, but not a weapon (00:24:47:00) o Eventually, Underwood’s group boarded a Pan-Am 737 commercial airliner, which first flew from Oakland to Hawaii, then continued to Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines and finally to Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam (00:24:54:00) Vietnam Deployment (00:25:32:00)  The airliner arrived in Vietnam in the middle of the day, which was a good thing for the men because they could actually see what Vietnam looked like without having to wait until morning (00:25:32:00) o Underwood’s first impression of Vietnam when the airliner landed was that it was hot (00:25:51:00) o Although Cam Ranh Bay was a fairly secure area, it was still occasionally attacked by enemy mortars or rockets (00:25:57:00)  During their training, the men were given information about mortars and rockets and how to protect themselves (00:26:06:00)  During the first night, Underwood was placed on guard-duty with a fullyloaded M-14 rifle; once Underwood had the rifle in his hands, he knew that the situation was for real (00:26:20:00)  The base never actually came under mortar or rocket fire while Underwood was on it (00:26:57:00) �o Over the next couple of days, the men went through more in-country training,  including working with and firing the M-16 rifle (00:27:01:00)  Up until that point, Underwood had rarely used an M-16 in any part of his training; most of his training was still done using an M-14 (00:27:16:00)  Underwood only had an issue with an M-16 rifle jamming once and that happened part of the way through his tour; he was firing the rifle too rapidly, it jammed, and he had to use the rifle of another soldiers who had been wounded (00:27:38:00) o Underwood spent about a week at Cam Ranh Bay before finally receiving orders to his new unit (00:28:12:00)  When he arrived at Cam Ranh Bay, Underwood was told whether there was a greater need for mortarmen or regular infantry; as it turned out, there was a need for regular infantry (00:28:24:00)  There were a lot of cases of men trained in one thing, such as a cook or wiremen, but once they were in Vietnam, they were transferred to be regular infantry to fill a need (00:28:32:00) When his orders finally came down, Underwood was assigned to the 4th Infantry Division stationed in Pleiku and once at the division, he was then assigned to 1st Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment (00:28:54:00) o To get from Cam Ranh Bay to Pleiku, Underwood flew aboard a C-130 transport airplane (00:29:06:00) o “Inside the wire” of the 4th Infantry’s position in Pleiku, it was like a regular military base, expect with a lot more sandbags to offer protection against mortars and rockets (00:29:17:00)  Although permanent barracks were built at the base while Underwood was stationed there, when Underwood first arrived at the base, the men slept in tents (00:29:31:00)  Inside the base was a large hill, nicknamed “Signal Hill” and it loomed large over the base (00:29:46:00) o Apart from Signal Hill, the area around Pleiku mostly consisted of gently rolling hills and flatland; there were not any other major hills in the area (00:29:54:00) o There was not anything special when Underwood joined his battalion; mostly, it was just that certain things needed to be done, like paperwork and Underwood getting all of his equipment together (00:30:46:00)  Underwood arrived with a duffel bag full of stuff, which was then taken and tagged so he could pick it up when he left (00:31:01:00)  It was after his duffel bag was taken that Underwood received his jungle fatigues (00:31:14:00)  When he received his jungle fatigues, Underwood was told not to wear a lot of undergarments because the high humidity would make him sweat more if he did (00:31:24:00) o After Underwood was assigned to a company, he received more training, specifically about the Vietnamese people; part of the training stressed avoid interactions with the Vietnamese prostitutes (00:31:40:00) �  When Underwood first arrived at the base, there was a small settlement set up near the base named “Sin City” and the entire population of the settlement was hookers and prostitutes (00:32:09:00)  At one point while Underwood was stationed at the base, a Senator visited the base, saw “Sin City”, claimed it was “corrupting the American GIs”, and ordered the settlement be cleared out and removed (00:32:30:00)  However, once “Sin City” was cleared out, the cases of venereal amongst the soldiers increased; at least in “Sin City”, the American doctors were taking care of any diseases (00:32:42:00)  The fact that “Sin City” was partially looked over by the doctors at Camp Enari came as a surprise to Underwood (00:32:58:00) When Underwood finally joined a company, the company was not at Camp Enari but was operating out in the field; there was a company tent on the base where the company mail clerk worked (00:33:14:00) o Once Underwood was assigned to a company, he went to the helicopter pad and rode on a helicopter out to where the company was; usually, new soldiers were flown out to the company on re-supply days (00:33:34:00) o When Underwood finally arrived at where the company had set-up its position, he was first assigned to a platoon within the company and then a squad within the platoon (00:33:53:00) o When Underwood initially joined a squad, the squad leader talked with him and when he started going out on patrols, Underwood learned more information; Underwood learned what he needed to do from the other soldiers who were already in the squad (00:34:17:00)  One thing Underwood learned was that he should not try to be John Wayne; the soldiers who tried to be John Wayne often ended up in a body bag before their tour was over (00:34:32:00) o When Underwood and the other new soldiers first joined the company, they were not immediately placed on assignments such as guard-duty (00:34:47:00)  However, Underwood joined the company during the monsoon season, which made it harder to sleep, on top of thinking about what was going to happen the following day (00:34:56:00)  The next day, the company woke up, ate breakfast, saddled up and moved out (00:35:12:00) o Underwood’s company was operating to the south of Pleiku, in slightly mountainous terrain (00:35:19:00)  The vegetation in the area tended to consist largely of forested areas mixed with areas of jungle grass; because they wanted to avoid going on the main trails, the soldiers had to do a lot of machete work to clear paths through the vegetation (00:35:36:00)  Whenever the company would set up for the night, small groups went out on patrols to see if they saw anything; during his first patrol, Underwood ended up flushing out three Vietnamese farmers (00:36:04:00)  The area where the company was operating was a free-fire zone, which meant the soldiers shot first and asked questions later; � however, for some reason, when he flushed the farmers out, Underwood did not immediately shoot (00:36:20:00) o The farmers ran away but ended up running into another patrol, who brought the three back to where the company had set-up its defensive positions (00:36:40:00) o In a free-fire zone, the civilian population was rounded up and given land and housing in a city, where they were supposed to stay until the area was clear of enemy soldiers; however, the farmers were defying those orders and still trying to farm within the zone (00:37:12:00)  One of the farmers had been carrying a Vietnamese machete, which was a length of bamboo topped with an extremely sharp blade (00:37:36:00) o Underwood ended up picking the machete up and he carried it for quite a while, before sending it back to Camp Enari so the company clerk could put it in his duffel bag; however, somebody stole it (00:37:56:00) o For the most part, when Underwood first joined the company, the majority of the enemy fire they came under was the result of hit-and-run attacks (00:38:33:00)  However, when the company received orders to return to Pleiku to transfer north to Đắk Tô, Underwood’s platoon commander, who had served as a mercenary before the war, called the platoon together and told the men that not all of them would survive (00:38:49:00) Relative to Pleiku, Đắk Tô was to the north, closer to the Vietnamese borders with Cambodia and Laos (00:39:35:00) o In order to get from Pleiku to Đắk Tô, the men first boarded trucks in Pleiku that moved out as part of a convoy (00:40:05:00)  The vegetation along the side of the road had been sprayed with Agent Orange (a defoliation chemical) and pushed back using bulldozers in order to clear the area around the road; usually, the area was one-hundred yards wide, with the road right in the middle (00:40:12:00) o All of a sudden, the convoy stopped and soon after, the platoon leader and company commander informed the men that they were going to be doing a combat assault (00:40:58:00)  The soldiers disembarked from the trucks and pulled on their rucksacks, which were heavy (00:41:13:00)  As part of the combat assault, the soldiers were meant to be a blocking force against an NVA (North Vietnamese Army) division that had been spotted in the area (00:41:37:00)  That night, following the combat assault, the soldiers dug in and Underwood ended up cutting his leg with his entrenching tool as he dug his position (00:41:54:00)  The men had been dropped off on the top of a mountain and they were expected to dig foxholes for fighting positions (00:42:12:00)  Although it was possible to dig the foxholes on the mountain, it was very hard work because of all the rocks (00:42:22:00) � As he dug, Underwood had placed his entrenching tool in the “chopping mode” and was chopping at the dirt in order to loosen it up somewhat (00:42:42:00) o However, he bounced the entrenching tool off a rock and it went straight into his leg, leaving a cut a couple of inches long (00:42:48:00)  Although the cut would not have been a big deal back home in the United States, in Vietnam it was a whole different story and overnight, an infection set in (00:43:06:00) o The day after he cut his leg, Underwood went back to the battalion headquarters in Đắk Tô and sent to a medic, who would take care of the wound (00:43:22:00)  However, as Underwood was getting off the helicopter, enemy mortar rounds were landing nearby (00:43:41:00)  Once they were off the helicopter, Underwood and another who was also onboard hurried to the company area and got into a bunker (00:43:46:00)  It seemed like Underwood and the other soldier were in the bunker forever because the mortar rounds kept coming in; the enemy was “marching” the mortar rounds up the runway to get a C-130 that was sitting at the end of the runway (00:44:05:00)  Eventually, the enemy zeroed in on the airstrip’s ammo dump, which went off in a massive explosion; the explosion caused Underwood and the other soldier, who were seventy-five to onehundred yards away, to bounce in the air and somehow switch positions within the bunker (00:44:26:00)  When the two came out of the bunker, the tents where they were supposed to be staying looked like Swiss cheese from all of the flying shrapnel (00:44:56:00)  Eventually, the soldiers found out that the barber who was working on the base was calling in the mortar rounds, so they arrested him and turned him over to the South Vietnamese (00:45:25:00)  At the time, it was quite a common sight to see South Vietnamese working on the bases (00:46:19:00) o The base at Đắk Tô was the brigade headquarters for the 1st and 2nd Brigades of the 4th Infantry; the 3rd Brigade was brought up to the base later, along with the 173rd Airborne Brigade (00:46:51:00) o Underwood ended up spending about ten days in Đắk Tô for treatment for the infection from the cut on his leg (00:47:22:00)  The treatment consisted of daily antibiotic shots along with having Underwood soak his leg once or twice a day (00:47:27:00) o Once the infection was healed, Underwood took a helicopter flight out and rejoined his company; Underwood rejoined the company around November 1st, 1967 (00:47:47:00) o When Underwood rejoined the company, the company was operating as a whole and going on “search-and-destroy” missions (00:48:15:00) � The various missions just became the soldiers attacking one mountain after another; in some cases, the mountains were so steep that the men needed trees to try to pull themselves up (00:48:26:00)  The men were carrying packs that weighed close to 100lbs; the packs were so large, if one was on the ground, a soldier had to sit on the ground just to get into it properly, then roll onto his knees to stand-up (00:48:42:00)  In the packs, the soldiers had to carry: grenades, canteens (Underwood carried four), two ten-magazine bandoleers of ammunition, LAWs (Light, Anti-Tank Weapons), and enough CRations (food) to last each of the men for three to four days; as well, the men had to carry their personal equipment (00:49:01:00)  The soldiers did not carry much in terms of additional clothing; every other re-supply, a huge bag of fresh clothing would be flown out and the men would rifle through the bag until they found a pair of pants and a shirt that fit (00:50:27:00)  Occasionally, the soldiers would make contact with the enemy but again, it was mostly hit-and-run attacks; it was just enough to remind the soldiers that they were being watched (00:50:56:00)  As well, the men also had to be aware of any wild animals in the area; at one point, the men found a panther in a tree and once they had past, a couple men went back and shot it (00:51:18:00) o The panthers were known to track people as they moved through the jungle (00:51:34:00)  If the enemy were ever in a company-sized area or larger, there were often bunkers, so it was hard for the Americans to ever really surprise them that way (00:52:13:00) o Normally, successful surprise attacks came when the American forces managed to set up ambushes that the enemy soldiers walked into (00:52:29:00) o Outside of Đắk Tô was a hill that had been designated Hill 875 and when Underwood’s company arrived in the area, they took part in an operation to take control of the hill (00:52:52:00)  The 173rd Airborne had been trying to take the hill before and finally succeeded on Thanksgiving day; during the operation, the 4th Infantry was coming up the opposite side of the hill (00:52:59:00)  However, once the 173rd Airborne took the hill, the remaining NVA forces vanished (00:53:13:00)  The hill had been bombarded so much with air and artillery strikes that only a single tree remained on it (00:53:22:00)  On average, Underwood’s company might loss two or three soldiers a day, depending on how often they ran into the enemy and how larger the enemy forces were (00:53:32:00)  During the attack on Hill 875, the soldiers were facing an entire NVA division; the 173rd Airborne in particular was hard-hit during the fighting (00:53:39:00) �Prior to moving north to Đắk Tô, the 173rd had been fighting the Viet Cong in the south; however, once at Đắk Tô, the soldiers were told that they were facing North Vietnamese Army regulars, who were not going to cut and run like the Viet Cong (00:53:57:00) o The commanders in the 4th Infantry had a better understanding of the situation because they had been incountry longer than the 173rd Airborne (00:54:37:00) Normally, officers stayed with a unit in the field for six months before rotating back to the rear area (00:54:57:00) o Underwood’s original platoon leader, the former mercenary, stayed as the platoon leader for six months and on the day he was supposed to leave the field, he was killed (00:55:21:00)  Underwood’s squad had been put out on an ambush the night before but the squad leader accidentally to the wrong ambush site; that night, the firebase where the unit was on ended up being mortared from an area close to where the original ambush site (00:55:36:00)  When the commanders figured out what was happening, Underwood’s squad was called back to the firebase (00:56:08:00)  Once the squad was back on the firebase, the squad leader was grilled by the company commander and the platoon leader; they both knew where the squad was supposed to be for the ambush and they also knew that the squad had gone short (00:56:23:00)  The next morning, Underwood’s platoon went in force up the hill to see what was up there (00:56:48:00)  Just before the soldiers got to the summit, the platoon leader had them stop, got a handful of volunteers, and the smaller group went forward to recon the rest of the hill (00:56:58:00)  The smaller group was not gone for too long before “all hell broke loose” at the top of the hill (00:57:21:00)  Once the shooting started at the top of the hill, the remain soldiers moved forward because they knew that there were dead and/or wounded soldiers at the summit (00:57:34:00)  When Underwood reached the top of the hill, he came across the body of the platoon leader; during the fighting, the platoon leader had called in artillery but a round landed too close to him and took part of his head off (00:57:52:00) o The body was lying in a small dip, so Underwood and a couple of other soldiers tried to pull it out; although it would not have been much trouble if the soldiers were standing, trying to do so while lying on the ground was difficult (00:58:14:00) o Underwood ended up having to get on his knees at one point, at which point an enemy round hit a piece of bamboo next to his face, causing splinters to go into the corner of his eye (00:58:32:00) o  �The soldiers eventually managed to get the platoon leader’s body off the summit, placed the body in a body-bag, and carried the body back to the firebase (00:58:51:00)  The attack on the summit was around January 1968, just before the beginning of the Tet Offensive (00:59:21:00) During Christmas 1967 and Tet 1968, there were supposed to be stand-downs, even amongst the North Vietnamese forces (00:59:46:00) o During the stand-downs, hot food, and maybe even dessert and a glass of fresh milk, was brought out to the soldiers (01:00:01:00) o At Christmas, one man from the company was chosen to go back to Pleiku to watch a Bob Hope comedy show (01:00:17:00) During the attack on the hilltop when Underwood’s platoon leader was killed, the men were facing off with a North Vietnamese regiment that had dug into the hilltop; however, they did not find that out until they attacked the hill as a full company, although by then, the North Vietnamese had left (01:00:55:00) After the attack on the hilltop, Underwood’s company had to follow a series of B52 strikes all the way to the Vietnamese border (01:01:20:00) o Following behind B-52 strikes was not fun for the soldiers because they had to navigate shatter bamboo, amongst other things (01:01:31:00) When coming upon bunkers that the North Vietnamese had abandoned, the soldiers never found any that the North Vietnamese had bobby-trapped (01:01:53:00) o Most of the bunkers were just left, possibly so that the North Vietnamese could return later and use them again (01:01:57:00) o On occasion, the soldiers would use explosives to destroy some of the bunkers they found (01:02:05:00) The state of an area following a B-52 strike largely depended on the size of the bombs used in the strike, either 500lbers or 2500lbers (01:02:29:00) o Whenever there was a B-52 strike, the soldiers could not be too close to the area being bombed; when the strike would happen, the ground shook and the soldiers could be six klicks (kilometers) away and still feel it (01:02:44:00) o Often, the B-52 strikes would cause the bamboo and surround trees to catch on fire; the soldiers had to pick their way through the area in order to avoid some of the worst destruction (01:03:02:00) o Usually, B-52 strikes were only called for when commanders were sure there were a large concentration of enemy soldiers in a single area; after the strike(s), the soldiers would move in to find any dead North Vietnamese (01:03:22:00)  Although the soldiers would usually find a few bodies, they never found many, because the North Vietnamese would often carry away any wounded (01:03:41:00) Apart from B-52 strikes, the soldiers also tried to destroy bunkers by placing grenades on their roofs to get the roofs to collapse (01:03:58:00) Due to the high heat and humidity, it did not take long for bodies to decompose; often, the soldiers would walk into an area and the stench would be unbearable (01:04:17:00) o On a couple of occasions, the soldiers found mass graves for enemy soldiers and they had to dig up some of the bodies to count them (01:04:37:00) o        �  When Underwood’s platoon leader was killed, his replacement was already with the unit and was learning what he would need to do; the replacement was an officer fresh from the States, just out of OCS (Officer Candidate School) (01:05:25:00) As Underwood got further into his tour, his attitude became a mixture of determination, along with a healthy dose of fear (01:05:55:00) o The fear was a big part of Underwood’s attitude; the fear that the next step could be his last (01:06:05:00) o Although soldiers are killed during war, they are not always killed by the enemy; accidental friendly fire was always a possibility (01:06:26:00)  Once, a 500lb bomb was accidentally dropped short of its target and it landed on a listening post, killing all three of the soldiers who were manning the post (01:06:37:00)  The soldiers were warned to fold the pins back on their grenades so bamboo would not get caught in them and accidentally pull the pins out; however, a couple of soldiers did not and they ended up dying when the pins on their grenades were accidentally pulled out (01:06:47:00) Tet Offensive / End of Tour (01:07:23:00)  When the Tet Offensive began at the end of January 1968, Underwood’s company was positioned on a firebase to provide security for the firebase (01:07:23:00) o Apart from some enemy probing, the firebase where the company was located was never directly attacked (01:07:36:00) o However, there was a firebase in the distance that Underwood could see was under heavy enemy attack in an attempt to overrun the firebase (01:07:44:00)  During the night, “Snoopy” was out and there was a lot of American artillery being launched in support of the firebase; although the firebase was never overrun, the soldiers were mauled pretty bad (01:05:54:00)  “Snoopy” was a gunship with a Gatling gun mounted inside that was capable of covering every square inch of a football field with gunfire (01:08:14:00) o Whenever “Snoopy” would fire, it sounded like a lowpitched groan (01:08:25:00) o Every seventh bullet in the Gatling gun was a tracer-round; whenever the gun fired, all the men saw was a red line from the gunship to the ground because the bullets were shooting so fast (01:08:31:00) o “Snoopy” would just fly in a circle around the firebase, firing the Gatling gun (01:08:40:00) o Once the Tet Offensive really started going, Underwood’s unit was re-assigned to the Kontum province to clear any enemy forces out of the area; although the 1st Cavalry Division had cleared the area previously, Underwood’s unit was sent in to see if they could find any enemy strongpoints (01:09:04:00)  Ultimately, the soldiers did not find much in the way of an enemy presence in the area (01:09:25:00)  By the end of offensive, Underwood’s unit had advanced so far that they had ended up entering a couple of clicks into Cambodia (01:09:40:00) �  Long-range patrols had come back saying that the North Vietnamese were trying to cut a new road through Cambodia, so Underwood’s unit was sent to investigate (01:09:54:00)  Although the unit did not lose anybody during the time they were in Cambodia, they managed to kill quite a few North Vietnamese personnel (01:10:09:00)  When the unit stopped for the night, there was a hill between the new road and the main Ho Chi Minh trail, further to the west (01:10:25:00) o During the night, the guards on the perimeter could hear elephants and trucks moving along the trail (01:10:41:00)  Apart from a single sniper in a tree, who managed to wound one soldier before being shot out of the tree, the majority of the North Vietnamese forces were engineers (01:10:50:00)  When the soldiers were finally pulled out of Cambodia, they were flown by helicopter back to a firebase, while B-52 strikes were called in to destroy the new road (01:11:21:00) Following the end of the Tet Offensive, Underwood’s unit stayed in the Kontum area until March 1968, when the unit was sent to a firebase that the enemy had overrun during the offensive (01:11:46:00) o There were four soldiers missing from the unit that had been previously stationed on the firebase and Underwood’s unit’s assignment was to find the four soldiers (01:12:06:00) o Once they landed by helicopter at the firebase, all the soldiers quickly spread out, before moving along a finger on a ridgeline (01:12:20:00)  However, the soldiers had not gone more than fifty to one hundred yards before four soldiers at the front of the column were killed (01:12:36:00) o The soldiers pulled back and first called in artillery, then an airstrike, before advancing back up the hill (01:12:42:00) o In the company, the point position rotated amongst the soldiers and during the second advance up the hill, it was Underwood’s turn to be “on point”; although Underwood would be “on point”, he said the company was going to advance at his pace (01:13:01:00) o Underwood and a friend took as many grenades as they could and started advancing up the hill; whenever they came to a bunker, they destroyed it with the grenades (01:13:10:00) o Eventually, once the entire company made it to the top of the hill, the soldiers began setting up a perimeter because the company was going to spend the night on the top of the hill (01:13:27:00)  However, because Underwood and his friend had led the way up the hill, they did not have to help set up the perimeter; instead, the two were told to help gather and stack water containers that a helicopter was going to be flying in (01:13:48:00) o As Underwood and his friend were stacking the containers, the area came under enemy fire (01:14:12:00) �o Although the company managed to successfully repel the enemy attack, at the   start of the attack, Underwood’s rifle was leaning against a nearby tree (01:14:38:00)  Underwood was lying on the ground when all of a sudden, he heard a rattling noise; looking up, Underwood watched as an RPG round with a stuck fin came down and landed next to his leg (01:14:53:00)  Underwood looked back at the company commander, whose eyes had gotten big; although he told Underwood not to move, Underwood ignored him and leaped away from the round (01:15:11:00)  The RPG round was so embedded in the ground that when Underwood jumped away, it just stayed there (01:15:26:00) o After the attack, the company stayed on alert throughout the night (01:16:04:00)  During the middle of the night, all of a sudden, a trip flare went off; the flare had been set off by a North Vietnamese soldier who was leaving the hilltop (01:16:15:00)  The soldier had been in a tree when the Americans took the hilltop and had stayed in the tree the whole time, until he thought all the Americans were asleep (01:16:23:00)  As a result of being on point during the advance up the hill, Underwood ended up being awarded a Bronze Star (01:17:07:00)  Underwood figures there were probably fifty enemy bunkers on the hill, twenty-five on each side, and during the advance, Underwood figures he destroyed ten or eleven (01:17:17:00) o When Underwood later went for a PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) exam, the doctor asked what was in the bunkers; Underwood told him that he never looked because he did not want to know (01:17:35:00) o If someone were in one the bunkers, they were not there once Underwood finished with the bunker (01:17:56:00) o Apart from those destroyed by Underwood, the artillery and airplane strikes also did a good job in destroying a large number of the bunkers (01:18:10:00) When Underwood first joined his company in the field, it was at the beginning of the monsoon season; normally, the monsoons began in September and lasted through November (01:18:32:00) o Underwood did not truly know what it meant to be wet until he went through the monsoons; although the men could wear ponchos, those just made the men sweat (01:18:46:00) o On occasion, it would be raining and all of a sudden, the rain would stop and the sun would come out; during those times, it would be so hot that it would dry the soldier’s clothes (01:19:04:00) After the hilltop fight where Underwood earned his Bronze Star, his company continued its usual routine of going onto a firebase for seven to ten days before going back into the field for thirty days (01:19:38:00) o The companies did rotate as to which company would provide security for the firebase (01:19:52:00) �  Whenever the soldiers were on a firebase, they would always be given assignments by the commanders, such as “enhancing the perimeter” with increased mines, wire, flares, etc. (01:20:01:00)  The soldiers also had some free time while on the firebase, during which they could write letters home, etc. (01:20:17:00)  Underwood usually wrote letters a couple of times a week and received letters a couple of times a week; usually, one of the letters was from his parents and another was from his wife (01:20:24:00)  Apart from the letters, Underwood also received care packages from his parents and wife; for the most part, Underwood asked them to send him food, such as sausages, cookies, and smoked oysters or clams (01:20:45:00)  For Underwood’s birthday, his family sent him a bottle of liquor, which they technically not supposed to do; his family warped the bottle in aluminum foil to trick the x-ray scanners (01:21:06:00) o When the bottle arrived, each of the men had some to drink but because they were still in the field, none of them were drunk (01:21:22:00)  Whenever there was a resupply, each man was given two cans of beer, which was offset by the fact that they had to drink the beer warm (01:21:33:00)  After Underwood found his platoon commander’s body, he was pretty shaky and someone offered him a cigarette to calm him down; although the cigarette did not calm Underwood down, he smoked for the rest of his tour (01:21:53:00) Underwood’s time in Vietnam solely involved doing operations in the field until the end of July 1968 (01:22:23:00) o At that time, a sergeant joined the company and Underwood became pretty god friends with him; eventually, the sergeant received a transfer into the brigade headquarters (01:22:33:00)  A couple of days later, orders came in for Underwood to transfer back to the brigade headquarters as well; Underwood did so and was given the position of “officer of the guard” for the battalion area (01:22:57:00)  By the time Underwood transferred back to the brigade headquarters, he was a sergeant (01:23:21:00) o During May 1968, before Underwood went back to the brigade headquarters, the fighting intensified (01:23:45:00)  The way the Vietnamese border was, the North Vietnamese forces would withdraw into Laos or Cambodia, rest and resupply, then attack back into Vietnam (01:23:49:00) o From Underwood’s perspective, it looked as though the Americans were winning the war, up until the Tet Offensive began (01:24:20:00)  To Underwood, the idiotic thing was that the soldiers would fight to take a hill, they would leave the hill once it had been taken, and the enemy would move right back in (01:24:25:00) �  Over time, Underwood began building the idea that the fighting was “crazy” and he questioned why the operations were happening the way that they were (01:24:50:00) o For the most part, everyone in Underwood’s company was on the straight and narrow; the company did not have that much trouble with drug usage, although there was some (01:25:12:00)  When Underwood finally got to be a squad leader, he told the men in his squad that if they used drugs, they did not have to worry about just the enemy shooting at them, but also Underwood himself (01:25:24:00)  Any drug use that did occur was when the soldiers were on down time in a firebase (01:25:36:00) o Underwood’s company largely operated in areas so remote that there were not even villages, although there were native Montagnard tribes; for the most part, Underwood trusted the Montagnard soldiers more than he trusted the South Vietnamese soldiers (01:25:46:00) o Eventually, Underwood’s platoon had to re-take the hill where the old platoon commander was killed (01:26:27:00)  The second attack on the hill resulted in a couple of soldiers being killed and a large number being wounded; by the time the soldiers came down from the hill, there were maybe half a dozen who had not been wounded in some way (01:26:39:00)  Normally, a platoon was supposed to have thirty soldiers but Underwood’s normally operated with around twenty-four or twenty-five (01:27:11:00) o On occasion, the individual platoons in the company would go out on their own to perform missions; often the platoons would be broken down further into individual squads (01:27:35:00)  There were always the nightly ambushes and often, the commanders often sent the men several klicks away from the firebase in order to set up their ambush (01:27:41:00)  However, if the soldiers ran into enemy opposition, they might have a long fight to get back to the firebase (01:27:57:00)  Typically on an ambush, claymore mines would be set up along with trip flares; normally, there would be a handful of soldiers armed with M-16 rifles and if they were lucky, a soldier armed with an M-60 machine gun (01:28:20:00)  Once the soldiers sprung the ambush, they got out of the area rather quickly because the next phase of the ambush was either an airstrike or artillery barrage (01:28:42:00) Underwood stayed in the field for as long as he could before he took an R&R (Rest and Recuperation), so that when he returned from the R&R, he would not have long to go on his tour (01:28:56:00) o Underwood ended up taking his R&R in June 1968, so that when he returned, he only had July, August, and September until his tour ended (01:29:17:00) o For his R&R, Underwood ended up going to Hawaii, where he met up with his wife (01:29:32:00) �     While on the R&R, Underwood had to metaphorically pinch himself to make sure that he was not dreaming (01:29:49:00)  There was a large military population in Hawaii and it was not until Underwood returned to the mainland United States after his tour that he ran into anti-war protestors (01:29:56:00) o When Underwood returned to Vietnam, he was probably even more cautious than he had been before he went on the R&R (01:30:39:00) Although Underwood’s company was originally slated to go to a rear area for a stand-down, that never happened (01:30:57:00) Underwood did notice that there were some racial tensions amongst the other soldiers in his unit (01:31:17:00) o For Underwood, race was not really a problem; in fact, his best friend in the unit was a black man (01:31:22:00)  However, there were some other men in the unit from Mississippi and when one of them made an insensitive remark, Underwood told the soldier that ought to keep those remarks to himself (01:31:27:00) While Underwood was working as officer of the guard at the brigade headquarters, he would have to go out on a daily basis and scatter the Vietnamese civilians who were going through the base’s dump (01:32:18:00) o As well, it was Underwood’s responsibility to set the guard every day, which usually consisted of newly-arrived soldiers who were waiting for their chance to go into the field (01:32:41:00)  When Underwood assigned soldiers to a bunker, the soldiers were supposed to have a live clip of ammunition in their rifles but not a round in the chamber (01:32:50:00)  One night, Underwood was woken up by the MPs (Military Police) around two o’clock in the morning and taken out to a bunker where one of the guards had shot himself in the foot (01:33:07:00)  As a result of the incident, Underwood had to do a large amount of paperwork and the soldier ended up receiving a court-martial (01:33:25:00) o By and large, there were not any more issues with moral than there were when Underwood was in the field (01:33:51:00)  For the most part, when not on-duty, Underwood and the other guards played a lot of cards (01:34:02:00)  Underwood ended up playing cards with the doctor who had treated the infected wound on Underwood’s leg (01:34:15:00) o For the most part, the base where the brigade headquarters was located was pretty secure, although it was later over-run by North Vietnamese forces; there were occasional mortar rounds that the enemy would lob in (01:34:36:00) Eventually, Underwood received orders that he would be rotating home and he was sent down to Biên Hòa for out-processing (01:35:22:00) o Once they went through out-processing, Underwood and the other soldiers who were scheduled to go home had to wait until an airliner arrived at the field in Biên Hòa (01:35:46:00) �o While they still at Camp Enari in Pleiku, Underwood and some of the other  soldiers who were rotating home went to the base’s NCO club and became quite drunk (01:36:04:00)  The men returned to their bunks and within two or three hours, the base came under an enemy rocket attack (01:36:14:00) Underwood’s company did do operations with Montagnard soldiers, although the men had to be careful when they worked with the Montagnards (01:36:44:00) o The soldiers could set up an artillery barrage to help the Montagnards in a battle but if the Montagnards decided they wanted to move to a different location, they were going to move to a different location (01:36:53:00) o For the most part, the Montagnards were scouts for the soldiers (01:37:09:00)  One time, the soldiers sent out a patrol made entirely of Montagnards and when the patrol was over, the natives called back to say that they would be coming back in (01:37:12:00)  The soldiers relaxed to watch the patrol come back in, when all of sudden, gunfire broke out; the Montagnards ended up putting one bullet into the monkey they had been aiming at (01:37:23:00)  Sometimes, the soldiers would receive useful intelligence from the Montagnards and sometimes, they would not (01:37:53:00) o Apart from using the Montagnards, the soldiers would also go out with scout dogs on patrol; for the most part, the dogs were really effective at finding where the enemy had already been (01:37:57:00) o Underwood’s company also worked with South Vietnamese Kit Carson Scouts, who were pretty good, for the most part; if the soldiers found something and got in a firefight, the scouts fought right along with them (01:38:32:00)  The majority of the scouts did not speak English; normally, there was one scout who could speak English and would translate between the soldiers and the scouts (01:38:58:00) End of Enlistment / Post-Military Life (01:39:28:00)  On the flight from Vietnam back to the United States, once the airliner was out of Vietnamese air-space, there was a big cheer from the soldiers onboard (01:39:28:00) o After leaving Cam Ranh Bay, the airliner flew to Japan first in order to replace a faulty engine, then to Alaska and finally back to San Francisco (01:39:44:00) o Once in San Francisco, the airliner landed at the San Francisco International Airport (01:40:15:00)  The airliner was parked away from the terminal, which meant the soldiers had to deplane and walk to the terminal (01:40:43:00)  It was the walk from the airliner to the terminal that Underwood had his first experience with anti-war protestors (01:40:52:00)  Once the terminal, the soldiers were given new uniforms to wear and taken out to a steak dinner before being given a hotel room of their choosing (01:41:13:00) o After he had returned to the United States, Underwood was given a thirty-day leave (01:41:48:00) �    After his leave was over, Underwood still had six months remaining on his enlistment, so he was sent to Fort Bragg, North Carolina to be a drill instructor (01:41:55:00) o When Underwood first arrived at the base, he was put in a replacement company and almost immediately, was given a live pistol and ordered to take another soldier to the courthouse (01:42:02:00) o While taking the tests when he first enlisted, Underwood scored high in the medical aspects and while at Fort Bragg, the dental detachment on the base needed workers (01:42:51:00)  Underwood was asked if he wanted to work in the clinic, 7-to-4, five days a week, and he said “yes” (01:43:10:00) o During the time Underwood was a drill instructor, he acted the same way as his drill instructors had (01:43:36:00) o One of the soldiers who lived across the street from Underwood’s tent had also just returned from Vietnam and Underwood suspects that soldier did not do too much around the base (01:43:47:00) o When Underwood’s thirty-day leave ended, he and his wife drove down to North Carolina and ended up getting a duplex just off of the base (01:44:29:00) The Army did put in an effort to try to get Underwood to re-enlist; even while he was in Vietnam, the Army offered him a promotion to E-6 and an assignment as the base carpenter (01:45:02:00) o However, Underwood figured that he would only have the carpentry job until one of the squads lost its leader, at which point he would be going back into the field (01:45:12:00) Eventually, the orders came down that Underwood would be receiving his discharge from the Army (01:45:48:00) o The out-processing from the Army was a lot like the in-processing, although during the out-processing, the soldiers were giving back everything that belonged to the Army (01:46:55:00) When Underwood was finally out of the Army, he and his wife drove home to Michigan, going through Washington D.C. and rural Pennsylvania (01:46:25:00) o Once he was back home in Michigan, Underwood took some time to become readjusted to civilian life before going to look for a job (01:46:46:00)  Although Underwood was told the job he had been working at prior to enlisting was still available, he wanted to go somewhere where he could make a little more money (01:47:02:00)  Underwood ended up going to work for a company that did insurance investigations (01:47:12:00)  Underwood stayed at the investigation company for five years before going to work for a bank for a short period of time; however, the job at the bank was not paying well, so Underwood went to work at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing for another five years (01:47:41:00) o While working at the hospital, Underwood went back to school and finished his associates degree (01:48:04:00) o As a result of the initial encounter with anti-war protestors in San Francisco, Underwood was edgier around people (01:48:40:00) � While in San Francisco, Underwood and six or seven other soldiers stopped in a bar to have a beer while waiting for the airliner to leave; however, the bartender asked them to step to the back because they were “bad for business” (01:49:05:00)  After stopping one of the soldiers who tried to jump over the bar to hit the bartender, the men ended up leaving the bar and going somewhere else (01:49:20:00)  When Underwood got to the airport in Detroit, there was not a problem because he was with his family (01:49:36:00)  Back in Eden, Underwood’s family and some of the neighbors had hung a banner welcoming him home (01:49:42:00)  Underwood learned not to tell others that he was a Vietnam veteran, although he did put the information on job applications; for the most part, the information was pretty well-received (01:50:01:00) o Quite a while after he had returned, Underwood joined the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars), although he let his membership lapse for several years; however, three or four years prior to the interview, he became more involved in the organization (01:50:24:00)  When Underwood first tried to join the organization, the post he tried to join was willing to accept him as a Vietnam veteran (01:50:45:00) o During the 1970’s, after his first divorce, Underwood joined a group at a Community Mental Health facility in Mason (01:51:03:00)  As part of the group, Underwood had access to individual consoling as well as group consoling (01:51:20:00)  Underwood was part of the group for eight or nine months before the funds dried up (01:51:30:00) o About six years prior to the interview, Underwood was diagnosed with Type II diabetes as a result of his exposure to Agent Orange (01:51:47:00)  One day, Underwood went into the VA (Veterans Administration) clinic in Lansing and when the nurse asked if Underwood was receiving compensation, he said he was not (01:52:10:00)  The nurse told Underwood to go to the local VA office to talk with a counselor, who would put in the paperwork for Underwood (01:52:23:00)  Underwood initially planned to ask for compensation for the diabetes but when he was talking with the consoler, he mentioned that he was a recovering alcoholic (01:52:34:00)  The counselor asked about the drinking and Underwood explained that he had been having nightmares and the drinking was the only way he could quite them (01:52:48:00)  The counselor said she would also put in an application for PTSD and wanted Underwood to talk with the office’s psychiatrist; the psychiatrist ran Underwood through a battery of tests and diagnosed him with PTSD, although they had to wait for Underwood to go through an official interview (01:53:04:00)  The official interview to determine if Underwood suffered from PTSD was done by a psychiatrist in Battle Creek, Michigan (01:53:32:00) �   When Underwood got into the interview, one of the questions the psychiatrist asked him if he had seem the enemy; when Underwood said sometimes, the psychiatrist asked what the enemy were wearing (01:53:47:00)  The psychiatrist asked about Underwood’s father and after Underwood explained what had happened to his father, the psychiatrists seemed fascinated with that and kept asking questions about it (01:54:13:00)  Underwood came out of the official interview disgruntled and when he received his rating, it was only 30% (01:54:28:00)  Underwood appealed the rating and had to go to Detroit (01:54:47:00)  While he was waiting for the appeal, Underwood received a phone call from the VA wanting to know if he wanted to go to Detroit for his evaluation (01:55:01:00) o Underwood had initially asked for a video-taped interview in front of the entire evaluation board but the phone call was to be in front of a judge (01:55:17:00)  Underwood went to talk with the judge and explained that he did not even have all of the records he needed; the judge agreed to wait for sixty days so Underwood could get his records organized, which he did (01:55:27:00)  Apart from the diabetes and PTSD, Underwood also had to have a hearing aid as a result of his time in Vietnam and contracted malaria once he had returned home (01:56:07:00)  Eventually, Underwood ended up transferring from the VA clinic in Lansing to the VA clinic in Ann Arbor, which had/has phenomenal treatment compared to the clinic in Lansing (01:56:53:00)  Underwood ended up receiving glasses, a hearing aid, shoes for his diabetes, and is re-checked every six months (01:57:08:00) Underwood’s time in the military, particularly the year deployment in Vietnam, showed him what he was capable of enduring, which was more than most people think they can endure (01:57:35:00) o The discipline that he and the other soldiers had to go through did not really hurt any of them; if everyone could be made to go through the discipline without having to fight a war, Underwood thinks it would be a good thing (01:57:54:00)  It made Underwood try to do things in a disciplined manner, a trait he carried for the rest of his life (01:58:14:00) By the time of the interview, Underwood was serving as junior vice-commander of his VFW post and was greatly involved in working with other veterans (01:58:44:00) � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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. Thank you for taking the time to talk with me today. I am interested to learn more about your family experiences in the summer at Saugatuck Douglas area. Can you please tell me your full name and spell it. Jane Underwood: Okay. Jane Underwood J A N E U N D E R W O O D KB: Alright, so Jane, when and how did your family first come to Saugatuck Douglas? JU: Well, my father’s family would spend the summer. There were two hotels up in Macatawa on either side of the channel and my grandparents and my father and his sister and older brother would spend the summer up there. My grandmother loved the idea of the hotel, she could play bridge with her friends in the afternoon. They had all their meals there and one afternoon according to family lore my grandfather announced that he had bought property in Saugatuck and they were going to build a tent there. Well my grandmother, Mae [inaudible] Underwood was not very happy about that. Saugatuck was considered very bohemian with all those artists. [KB laughs] JU: I think my grandmother was a bit of a snob. [KB laughs] JU: But, as it turned out. My grandfather pushed ahead and they started out in what was called a tent. It had a wooden floor and about three feet was wood and then they had canvas and but they had a real roof. Eventually, it became my large playhouse. As the years went on they built a cottage and seemingly every years, they added a room onto it, and as my father told me my grandfather wanted some peace and quiet, so he’d add another bedroom or two, for guests, and that was the family cottage until 1960 when unfortunately it burned out after the building was burned down. But, in the meantime the family summered in there, and enjoyed it. My grandfather used to row my grandmother down the river to the big pavilion where they would dance. It was quite a place. That’s the building that burned down that caused my cottage, family cottage to burn down. KB: So, your cottage burned during the same fire as the pavilion? JU: Yes. KB: Oh, okay. JU: The embers went across the river. There was a window switch and uh, my family cottage was the other building to burn but there were numerous fires in the woods. KB: Oh, okay. JU: But, the family enjoyed the cottage. My grandparents died and my father bought his sister out of her share so it became my family’s college and we always came up the end of, well the last week of April to open up the cottage. And we were there until, uh I would go back to school, and I was starting school and we’d close the cottage up, usually Columbus Day weekend which would be today. �Jane Underwood – Interviewed by Katelyn Bosch October 8, 2018 2 KB: Oh, yeah! JU: Yes, so, because the cottage really wasn't winterized. KB: Oh, yeah. At this time of year, you don't want to go much past this time of the year, in a cottage that’s not winterized. JU: We had a furnace, but it wasn’t insulated or anything. But um, growing up, spending the summers in Saugatuck, it was just a magical time, basically. There were all kinds of things for children to do. Um, as I got older I would start taking dance lessons from the Gallis’, ballet and tap. Art classes from Cora Bliss Taylor usually uh, Saturday and Wednesday for art classes and I’ve often said that Cora Bliss Taylor, all teachers and professors I had through way past post graduate work, she was probably the best teacher I ever had. She could take a group of oh, kind of let’s say rambunctious children, we weren’t unruly, well there might have been one or two. But she could settle us down, and we would produce art work. I, I will never be exhibiting at the Art Institute but it certainly made me appreciative of artwork and in my travels I never miss an art museum. [00:05:02] KB: Absolutely, yeah. JU: All over the world. But, um, there's [pause] ceramics lessons from Jean Goldsmith, um, I think I really did know how to swim but I did take swimming lessons over at Oval Beach. KB: Oh, wow. JU: And uh, there was all a old man as a lifeguard and there was an old wooden row boat and he took us, he dropped us in the water. You know what? Everyone started swimming, of course they wouldn't do that today. KB: Yeah! No! JU: I mean thinking about it, it’s just kind of like, oh my gosh. [KB laughs] JU: You know the liability and that. KB: Right. JU: But, those were different days and usually the, all the classes were in the morning and in the afternoon we’d go over to the beach and I'm paying the price now with skin cancers. Uh, 73 over at Oval Beach, but I still go over there and then I started sailing. We had an outboard boat which I learned how to run even though I wasn't supposed to take it out. But, I’d get my friends and we didn’t always have life preservers but we had fun on the water, and then my parents bought me the sailboat and I started sailing at the Saugatuck Yacht Club, and I’m still sailing there. KB: So you got some good use out of all the resources in Saugatuck. JU: Oh! It’s a, Saugatuck, its, for children in my day and I think it's still true today. It was just so many things to do. �Jane Underwood – Interviewed by Katelyn Bosch October 8, 2018 3 KB: Mhm. JU: And one thing that is different now, families came up and stayed for the entire summer. KB: Right. JU: The fathers might stay in the city and come up on weekends, but the mothers and children were here for two, two and a half months. KB: Mhm. Yeah. JU: And that's not the case anymore. People only come up for a short period of time because so many of the children are in soccer or, whatever else there in. KB: Yeah. It's, too many obligations back. JU: Yeah, exactly. KB: Yeah. JU: But we still have a lot of children at the yacht club taking sailing lessons. It’s fun. KB: Well what was your in initial impression? Do you remember what you, when you first saw Saugatuck? JU: I was an infant. [Laughs] KB: Oh, okay so you don’t have any memories then? JU: No, but always coming when I’d get off, well now especially getting off the expressway and going down Ferry Street and Park Street, it's always felt like home. KB: Mhm, yeah. JU: Even though I had a home in Chicago. KB: Yeah. JU: It’s just this was the place, a friend of mine said Saugatuck’s always been her happy place. It just, there’s a feeling of, I don't know optimism, and fun, and friends and just a lot going on, its fun. KB: yeah. JU: My friends in Chicago when I said I was going to live most of the time in Saugatuck after I retired said well what are you going to do? I mean, I said well, there’s plenty to do, in the winter it’s just there's [pause] right now. This week I’m going to be out, oh let’s see, I've been see in the last six nights and I got three more nights to go. KB: [Laughs] busy social schedule. JU: Yes, exactly. KB: Yeah, uh, can you share any particular memories about living here? Things or moments that are especially memorable for you either good or bad? �Jane Underwood – Interviewed by Katelyn Bosch October 8, 2018 4 JU: Well, I can remember when a building across the road from my cottage was fire and we thought our cottage was going to go. KB: Oh. JU: Yeah, my father moved the car down to Mount Baldhead and we went and sat in our boat, which was right on the river there. Uh, they seem to have a lot of fires. KB: Yeah it sounds like it. JU: Exactly, exactly. KB: And it was ultimately taken by a fire. JU: Mhm, well wooden buildings, it’s, it’s always been a problem. KB: Yeah. Um, were there any other places or institutions that were important to you in Saugatuck Douglas? Or places, key places that you hold dear memories? JU: So many places, Oval beach. The yacht club, sailing and the Pump House Museum. Um, just, there's just so many nice things in this community. KB: Mhm. JU: and so many people. KB: Yeah. JU: And uh, and people work together. KB: Right. JU: We're trying to save as much of the environment as we can. Um, we lost the Presbyterian Camp, to development. So many of the huge big trees have been cut down and taken out, it’s just, it’s kind of worrisome. KB: Yeah. JU: Although someone said, well your family is here and they probably cut down some trees to build the cottages. [00:10:06] KB: Yeah. JU: But [pause] I guess that's life. KB: It feels worse when it’s a larger development then? JU: Yeah. KB: One cottage, or? I, I, understand. �Jane Underwood – Interviewed by Katelyn Bosch October 8, 2018 5 JU: And then they’re just tearing up the, the dunes, the dunes have always just been so beautiful and the wildlife, I mean just now coming over here I saw some deer, I saw some wild turkeys the other day. KB: Mhm. JU: It's just kind of a, a special place. KB: Yeah, definitely. [Pause] How do you think, things other, well you’ve kind of talked about how somethings have changed in your whole experience with Saugatuck. Are there anything else that stick out as things that have changed or stayed the same in this area? JU: Well, people used to come as I said, and stay for longer periods of time, especially the cottage people. Now, so many of the cottages are seasonal rentals. Just around my house, my cottage, um, I live by a summer hotel which has been there even before my family college was built over a hundred years ago. But the cottages are all, for the most part seasonal rentals, and you don't know people who own it anymore. KB: Right. JU: You have to kind of go find out who it is. KB: Mhm, yeah. JU: And it's kind of worrisome because I think a community can kind of lose its cohesiveness, when you have so many summer, or rentals, short term rentals. KB: Right. JU: I know people want to make money, and uh they buy property and they figure then can, you know rent them out, pay the mortgage or whatever. KB: Mhm. JU: I think that's something that maybe the city fathers really need to look at. KB: Yeah, definitely. Did you have any summer jobs while you were here? JU: No, not when I was here, I started working uh, when I was in college at the Museum of Science and Industry. KB: Okay. JU: And uh, if you quit during the summer they were, not going to hire you back. Well I quit my first year in the middle of August and um, I wanted some time before I went back to college, and my mother called me and said she’d gotten a call from the museum, would I work Thanksgiving and Christmas. So, I did that for, for the four years. KB: Oh, okay, yeah. JU: It was a great job, I mean my highest salary was 99 cents an hour. KB: [Laughs] When was that? �Jane Underwood – Interviewed by Katelyn Bosch October 8, 2018 6 JU: This was in 1963. KB: Okay. JU: and it wasn’t much, but it was just so interesting. I got you to do back up VIP tours. Which means I walk with the, um, Secret Service. KB: Oh. JU: Visiting dignitaries coming to Chicago that was one of the favorite places to take them because Museum of Science and Industry is world famous. KB: Yeah. JU: It's patterned after the Deutsches Museum in Munich and um, that was really kind of interesting. KB: Yeah. JU: One of the best parts was I’d get to have lunch in the executive dining room. KB: Really? JU: The director of the museum would be would be with the VIP and then I will be tagging along with the secret service. That was fun, I enjoyed that. KB: [Laughs] That sounds fun. So you were a teacher by training? JU: Yes. KB: So you taught in Chicago? JU: I taught in Chicago, at my Alma Mater! KB: Oh! JU: South Shore High School and there's quite a few of us here in the Saugatuck area who graduated from South Shore High School on the South side of Chicago and um. KB: You all ended up in Saugatuck? JU: Well, for various, and yeah, if you, Chicago, if you lived on the South side, you’d go away in the summer to Michigan. If you lived on the North side, the chances were very good you’d go up to Wisconsin. KB: Mhm, yeah. JU: And if you lived on the West side or the west suburbs, [pause] you had a choice. KB: Yeah. JU: But many of them can to Saugatuck. Shorewood, which is a development over on the lake is mostly people from the Oak Park area originally. I don’t know if you've interviewed anyone from there or not. KB: I'm not sure. I haven’t, but we might have somebody else who has. �Jane Underwood – Interviewed by Katelyn Bosch October 8, 2018 7 JU: Okay, I have a friend who probably should have interviewed because um, their family cottage I think was started in 1926. KB: Oh wow. JU: In Shorewood. KB: Okay. JU: And they still have the, the original cottage. I was just talking to her this morning. KB: That’s amazing, what’s her name? JU: Uh, Lucy Reinege Hoight. [00:15:00] KB: Okay we’ll see if we can get her interviewed. JU: Yeah, she’d have to come up here and uh, she was supposed to come up this last weekend to help out with the benefit that we had but she had a cold and so better stay in Barrington. KB: [Laughs] Yeah, um if you stayed in Saugatuck, did you ever go to Douglas? Or if you stayed in Douglas did you ever go to Saugatuck? JU: Well, Saugatuck and Douglas have a rather unusual relationship. Um, childhood friend of mine, she was born in Chicago but she came here when she was quite young with her parents and she fell in love with a gentleman from Douglas. Before they got married she said, Jane I can’t live in Douglas! I mean, I’m from Saugatuck! Well, they eventually did live in Douglas, but it's kind of, it’s kind of hard to explain. I mean if you're from Saugatuck, you're from Saugatuck. KB: Mhm. JU: If you’re from Douglas, [pause] what can I say? I mean I have go through Douglas to go to downtown Saugatuck. KB: Yeah [Laughs] JU: Because I live across the river. KB: Oh yeah. JU: And Campbell road is the dividing line. KB: Yeah. JU: I, I met some friends at church recently and I said where do you live and she said Douglas, I said oh that’s too bad, and then we all started to laugh. I shouldn’t have said that. Douglas is a neat town, and I have many friends in Douglas too. KB: [Laughs] JU: But there’s that rivalry. �Jane Underwood – Interviewed by Katelyn Bosch October 8, 2018 8 KB: Hm, yeah. JU: I don't know if you heard it from other people or not, but uh. KB: I have. JU: Oh, okay. KB: It’s interesting because they’re so close, but yet very distinct. JU: Well, Saugatuck’s always been the tourist town. KB: Yeah. JU: And Douglas was more of, you know, people who lived here, and for a long time downtown Douglas looked like kind of, well, then a group got together. Really it’s just the, you know, the main street is here, its lovely. KB: Yeah. JU: Interesting stores, and they, you know, they decorate and you might have heard about big parade over holiday, the 27th. KB: I have. JU: Yes. KB: Yes. JU: We call it the adult parade. KB: [Laughs] JU: There was a children's parade in Saugatuck in the afternoon, and we have fun over here every evening. KB: Yeah, interesting. JU: I can remember when I’d practically know everyone in the Douglas parade. But now it’s gotten so big that it’s just, humongous. Just to find a place to park to go and stand on the sidewalk is, a major undertaking. KB: Is it because of out of town people? Or because the town has grown? JU: It’s a lot of people from up for the weekend. KB: Okay. JU: It’s, it's the last big weekend really of the season. KB: Mhm, yeah. JU: And a lot of people come from the surrounding communities. KB: Okay. �Jane Underwood – Interviewed by Katelyn Bosch October 8, 2018 9 JU: Saugatuck Douglas we have kind of a, [pause] risqué kind of, many people feel we’re [pause] Sodom and Gomorrah? KB: [Laughs] That’s an interesting comparison. JU: Yeah, I, there’s some people, there are people that are very very religious and strict. I can remember when Holland was dry. I can remember when Holland, nobody would even answer their telephones on Sunday. All the stores were closed. KB: Mhm. JU: And people in Holland would come down to Saugatuck to make merry. KB: [Laughs] JU: And then Holland started relaxing. Meijer’s opened on Sunday. KB: Oh. JU: Woo! That was, and then just maybe the last 15 or 18 years Family Fare opened up on Sunday. KB: Mhm. JU: And you would think the world was coming to an end. I mean some people were just, so, they were just terribly, terribly upset. KB: Hm, I can imagine. JU: Holland’s changing. I mean you, I think you can even get liquor in Holland on Sunday now. KB: During certain hours, I think there are still some hours like in the morning where you can’t. JU: Well there’s, there’s laws, I think. KB: That might be Zeeland. JU: Okay, DeMond’s cannot sell liquor until noon on Sunday. KB: Yes, yep. JU: So you don't want go there around noon to get, you know, a, a loaf of bread, because the line sometimes can be… KB: Oh really? JU: Way too long, yes. From the people who are going to buy. KB: Interesting. JU: Liquor. But I mean, the whole country is, I don’t know, we have these laws, new laws and things like that, that just [pause] Saugatuck always did well with the Holland people coming down to drink. [00:20:05] KB: Huh, they didn't have any animosity towards them or anything? �Jane Underwood – Interviewed by Katelyn Bosch October 8, 2018 10 JU: The Holland people? No, they just take the money to the bank. KB: Yeah. JU: Money is money. KB: Money is money. I want to go back to what you said about taking lessons from Cora Bliss Taylor. Did you get any other interactions with our community? JU: Well we used to go down to Oxbow, um, at the end of the season they always had what they called the burial of the year. They would have a cement plaque that they would bury and walk about what went on through the year, and uh, that was always kind of fun ceremony. KB: Oh, interesting. JU: Recently they’ve had um, what they call the open studio nights, on Friday nights? KB: Right. JU: Where it’s Oxbow but you can go down there. I mean I've wondered around there, probably legally and illegally all my life. Uh, I met a woman at a meeting or something and I said, you know, when you met someone around here, where you live and she said on Oxbow Lagoon, and I said oh! With the pier? And she said yes, I said, oh, I’ve, I’ve sat on that pier. Well the fact of the matter is that there's several no trespassing signs there… [KB laughs] …and she looked at me, and I said well, you know, I, I’ve gone down there and she said, you and everybody else in this town!... [KB laughs] …well we’ve become very good friends. Even though I was trespassing on her property… KB: [Laughs] She could see past that. JU: Yes, eventually. Yeah, you wander around as kids you, you just, you know, you kind of go where you’re going to go. KB: Mhm. Um, did you spend time, near the water? And did you participate in any activities around the waterfront? JU: Oh, yes. Always. My parents had a little wooden outboard motor boat and as soon as I was strong enough to pull that cord on that 5 ½ horsepower Johnson, I was off. [KB laughs] JU: My parents never caught me at it, I was, I was careful and then course I’ve been sailing. KB: Mhm, yeah. JU: Since I was twelve years old. �Jane Underwood – Interviewed by Katelyn Bosch October 8, 2018 11 KB: Yeah. JU: I love to go out sailing. KB: It’s a good place for sailing. JU: Yes it is. KBL Yeah. JU: I’ve tipped the sailboats over a few times and uh, maybe I’ll do it again, who knows? KB: [Laughs] Maybe. How, how would you describe Saugatuck Douglas to somebody never been here before? JU: Well, it's kind of a world away. Some people call it the New England or the Cape Cod of the Midwest. Its community where people, we have artists, we have sailors, we have environmentalists, uh we have tree huggers, which I'm one of. Um, and we can come together on a project. Sometimes we can fight each other on the things, um, but it’s a community that cares. KB: Mhm. JU: And that's I think, the most important thing. KB: Mhm. JU: Sometimes in big cities you kind of lose out that, you know caring for people, you know, what can you do to help people. KB: Yeah. JU: In a small town you know people. When you hear a siren, you kind of wonder, you know, uh oh, could it be somebody you know. When they're racing up to Oval Beach past my cottage, I’m, I’m kind of worried that someone in trouble in the water. KB: Yeah. JU: You know, you just, things like that bother you. KB: Absolutely. [Pause] Um. Can you tell us some of your, well, we’ve talked about memories of being here in the summer. Do you have any favorite memories that stand out? JU: Well see let's my mother had a rule that she did not, since the kitchen in the cottage was not like kitchen in Chicago. Oh, I can remember when we had an ice box when I was very very young and the ice man didn't come and was it hot. KB: Oh. JU: And my mother said, we’re getting an electric refrigerator and we did that afternoon. But, my mother had a rule, we ate out, Thursday night, Sunday night, and Tuesday night, for dinner. So we would frequent the various restaurants in town because my mother said it was no vacation for her. KB: Right. �Jane Underwood – Interviewed by Katelyn Bosch October 8, 2018 12 JU: If she had to cook every night. Exactly, and um… KB: So she spread it out. JU: Oh yes, we would eat out three nights a week. KB: Did you have a restaurant? [00:25:00] JU: Well, Louise Easton had a great restaurant on water the front. It's, walked a plank to get there, it’s where the Mermaid is now, and we used to go to Tera and let’s see, where else was a favorite place? Mount Baldhead Hotel a Thursday night, they called French Buffet, it was good. KB: That sounds good. JU: It was really good, ah, and you could sit on the swings on the porch. The Mount Baldhead Hotel burned in 59 as I remember it, 58 or 59, sounds about right. But, um, and we’d often go out for breakfast. The old rail grill had really good French toast. It was just yummy, we’d take the ferry across and the old rail was right there at the other side by the ferry. And um, we used to eat out a lot. As I said, my mother just, it was no vacation for her. KB: Yeah, that makes sense. JU: Yes, she enjoyed eating out. We did a lot of eating out in Chicago too as I remember. KB: In everyday not vacation life. JU: Yeah, it, hey, makes life easier. KB: It does. JU: We’ve always had good restaurants here in Saugatuck. KB: Yeah. There’s still some good ones. JU: Mhm. KB: Did you get into any types of shenanigans? And were you a participant, instigator, or bystander? JU: Hm, let’s skip that question. KB: [Laughs] JU: I’ve, I’ve gotten into things over the years, uh, probably still getting into things. But uh, no I had a group and we had fun, let’s put it that way. KB: You enjoy it. JU: Yeah, we’d be out by the boat, and we’d see the police patrol, and uh more than once I had to beach the boat because we were probably lacking in life preservers. KB: Oh. �Jane Underwood – Interviewed by Katelyn Bosch October 8, 2018 13 JU: Yeah, that's, that's one of the things. KB: What was your impression of law enforcement? Did you feel comfortable around them? JU: Yeah? I mean, I didn't have much interaction with them. KB: Okay. JU: The Justice of the Peace was a family friend, um, he used to hold court. Um, just, we did have an intruder one time. Uh, on our porch in the middle of the night and we called the police, they came and he ran off. He did two or three times and then finally our neighbor Bill Bors who owned the Beachway Hotel at the time, came with his old civil war rifle. [KB laughs] And held him until the police came. And they got him down, I think he, the guy was high on drugs. KB: Oh. JU: Took him over to Allegan, and the police said, well you don’t have to go over, I mean, it’s like 3 o’clock in the morning. But he got bailed out the next day. [KB laughs] Turns out he was some kind of a big wig from some company over in Detroit, I think he had some acid or something that made him just nuts. But he, was just coming up on our porch and there were no steps, you had to kind of swing up on it. KB: That must have been kind of scary. JU: It was, I went down and got a rake, a metal rake, and I was going to go swinging at him. [KB laughs] Now people, Saugatuck’s gotten kind of wild but you know the riots that they talk about, they passed over my head. The, you know, the Jazz festival things and stuff like that. Living over on the other side it was always, we didn’t really hear about it. We’d read about it in the newspaper. The next day or something like that but it was, it was kind of world of its own. It was the summer people. KB: Mhm. JU: And your friends, and that was about it. KB: Yeah. JU: We’d go to town every day to get the mail. I still have to get my mail at the post office. As a friend of mine, who’s since died said, you can spend half a morning going to the post office and meeting your friends and talking, finding out what's going on. It’s true. KB: [Laughs] That actually leads well into my next question, which is, what do you remember about the social life, uh, being here in the summer and who did you socialize with? �Jane Underwood – Interviewed by Katelyn Bosch October 8, 2018 14 JU: Well let's see, um, people that I would take classes with. There were parties, parties, church parties, uh, yacht club parties. Bonfire parties on the beach. Um, it was always just kind of, a, a gang of kids. KB: Okay. JU: And you just had a great time. KB: Yeah. JU: Some of them are of still around. [00:30:00] KB: [Laughs] That’s awesome. So now um, I have a few questions about looking into the future. JU: Okay. KB: For Saugatuck and what your hopes are. So, um, well my, my first question is what are some of your hopes for the future for yourself and for your community? JU: Well, I would like to see [pause] more people living here and not just renting out their homes because I think you lose the sense of community. KB: Right. JU: Um, some neighborhoods up on the hill are mostly rentals and people are getting concerned about that. Now my area has been rentals for a long time. But, I think they're going to have to some rules and regulations on the rentals. KB: Hm, yeah. JU: It’s not going to be popular with the people that are doing it, but uh, the community could lose its soul. KB: Right. JU: If we have too many people moving in an out all the time. KB: Yeah. [Phone rings] JU: Julie let me you call. KB: And what you do think you have the greatest needs currently are facing, the community, which is kind of a similar question. JU: Well I do know the school needs more children if they’re going to continue in running really excellent educational program. I’m saying this as a teacher too. KB: Right. JU: And that they need families. �Jane Underwood – Interviewed by Katelyn Bosch October 8, 2018 15 KB: Mhm. JU: And that's a problem because property in Saugatuck and Douglas is expensive. KB: Right. Right. JU: The tourist trade and the second home people. Um, very few children come from Saugatuck and Douglas, most of the children's in the school, I think are coming from the township. KB: Oh yeah. JU: But they need, need more families, with children in the schools. The schools, I mean they’re incredibly um, talented teachers, administrators, they just need more students. KB: Yeah. [Laughs] JU: That’s, the problem is the cost of housing. KB: Yeah, absolutely. JU: I see that definitely just looking at the prices of homes in the newspapers and the ads and things like that. KB: Mhm yeah, big problem. JU: And we have to protect our environment. KB: Mhm. Yeah. JU: That’s, that’s really so important. That we [pause] we don’t want to lose the beauty of the area. I mean that’s what attracts people. KB: Right. JU: The fact that we were able to protect the property from Oval Beach to the piers was amazing, and the late senator Patty Berkholtz was so important in that, in raising money. She died this past spring. We’re mourning her loss because she was so important in that, trying to protect the property. KB: Yeah, absolutely. So, uh, remembering that this interview is going to be saved for a long time. JU: Mhm. KBL Uh, when somebody listens to this tape, say in 50 years from now. What would you like them to most know about your life and community right now? JU: My life in the community? Well I think everyone in a community has to give back to their community. In volunteer work, or donating money for good causes, that’s what makes a community vibrant and I hope I can continue to do that. KB: Yeah. That’s great, and also do you have any um, advice for a young person who might listen to this tape? �Jane Underwood – Interviewed by Katelyn Bosch October 8, 2018 16 JU: Get involved in things. Work for good. Whether its social issues, political issues, whatever, whatever you can do to make it a better world. KB: Mhm, yeah. JU: Because the people that are just for themselves, I feel sorry for them. You’ve got to give back. KB: Absolutely, that’s great. JU: Okay. KB: So that concludes my questions, do you know anything else that you want share that you didn’t get a chance to? JU: Well, let’s see. [Pause] I can’t think of anything, I think I’ve hit all the points I wanted to make. KB: Okay. Sounds great. Well thank you so much for being here and sharing your memories with me.

' t Your chairmen, and the committee that was appointed by them, have worked hard to see that the monies were collected and properly distributed. Through our affiliation with the Federated Council of Charities, of which your organization is a member, we had able advice and assistance in the disbursement of the funds. The people of our community as a whole are proving to be highly understanding in the needs of the less fortunate. This is proven by the over-whelming success of the second year's campaign, and we sincerely trust that your cooperation in the future will be as unselfish as it has been in the past. We trust that you will read this report, and scrutinize it very carefully so that you may offer criticism, if due, at our next annual meeting and dinner which will be held Monday, October llth, at 6:30 P.M. in the Russett Room at the Occidental Hotel.

Siegel Al. Golden Harry Lahr ( �A Message From Your Chairman On behall of the officers and truslees I am submiuing a repon of your Uniled Jewish Charilies for lhe year 1943-1944. During 1943 grealer demands were made on lhis communily for increased fi. nancial assistance from overseas, national and local instillltions and agencies. Our community accepted the challenge and raised $14,065.00, or an increase of 156 % over the previous year. Thus you have made it possible for Muskegon lo be known nationally as one of the most philanthropic communities on a per capita basis. Your auention is called to Schedule A-1 which shows allocations to thirty-six inslitulions and agencies. This is seven more lhan we contributed lo last year. ,vc also increased and in some cases doubled the allocations over whal we gave last year w lhe same recipients. An allocation of $250.00 was sent to the Hebrew University of Palestine with instructions that this sum be awarded in the name of the Muskegon Jewish Community as an annual scholarship to a worthy refugee studelll in agriculwre. \Ve will be advised of the student's name and background when the award is made. This is a magnificent expression of generosity on the parl of this communily. \Ve are now forming a Cemetery As5ociation to be known as Mona View Ilebrcw Cemetery Association, with Milton Sleindler as its temporary chairman until an election is held and by-laws are adopted. ln the meantime we arc negotiating with the Cily of Muskegon Heights for the purchase of approximately $20,000.00 worth of lots lo be paid for within lcn years. Your board voled a S2,ooo.oo Joan Lo the Cemetery Association wil11 instruclions thal said Joan be used as a down payment lOwards lhc purchase of the lots. Il might be necessary in the future years to advance addilional funds to ma intain the contracl wil11 the Cily o( Muskegon HeighlS, bul eventually as the lots arc sold the monies advanced will be repaid lO the Uniled Jewish Charities. It has been a source of pleasure to work wil11 each and every one of you. Your whole-beaned sacrifice and cooperalion has kept us uni led in the pasl and il also assures a united, bright future. Sincerely yours, Paul :t-.1.

Dad _lived the fullest kind o( life, full of the k111d of acL1vity he believed 111. Money was of no consequence Lo him, and the strivings of so many other professional r~1en for publicity and glory ~illed hin~ with disd~in. altho _he _had neither false pr~de nor false modesty. H is idea of ~1fe was a life of activity in and for a gr~>up; his J ews; his family; his community; his country. I remember how on Yom K1ppur he u~ed to emphasize Isaiah's ringing demand: "Thal thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh!" To him the urge to organize his fellowmen to perform useful and sacred duties was irresistible. He brought children togethe1· into religious study; he brought their parents to synagogue and to Zionist work; he reached out i~to the general community to find more groups where he could expound and explain and teach and exhort. J remember some of his favorite ver ses: "\Vorship the Lord in the beauty of holiness." "Purify yourselves, ye bearers of Lhe vessels of the Lord." H is most successful hymn was called Lhe Joy of \Vorship. You can see how he associated purity and beauty and holiness with religious worship, which was of course group worship. Probably it is not chance that during his last days in the hospital, when he surely knew his days were numbered, he chose to read a book on "The Social Origins of Greek Religion." The thesis of Lhis book is that the most elevated religious concepts have their roots in the ordinary every-day activities of a primitive community (and not, therefore, in the solitary meclitations of a hermit). Out of the struggles LO grow food and catch game, LO grow into manhood and raise a family, Lo resist or cajole natural forces, there grow ideas o( God, salvation, human brotherhood, and immortal ity. So the life of Lhc group is the source of holy things. l\ot that Dad had any illusions about his Jew~. But he must always have felt that in spite of ignorance, incliffc:rence, and smugness, there was always hope. H e used to say (I forget the exact words): "Judaism has faith in the infinite improvability of man." .Judaism, and Aaron Cohen, too. From the time when, at the age of fifteen, he ate mok)y bn!'a d in . order to buy Zionist pamphlets; ancl not long afler that, l~rav_ed the ~py1ng o( t!1c Imperial Russian secret police to participate in illegal Z10n1sL mceungs; for fifty years he l,1bo1cd for Judaism and for Zion, talking, _wriL_ing, tca~hing, _or&a~izi~1g, creating poclr)' and· song, leading prayer. Great fa1tll, 111decd, 111 Lhe mfi111te 11nprovahility of his fellow man. Well, there are many other things to remember and I'm sure they'll come back to me. I remember Lhat he was never afraid and never unkind, and that he hated ignorance and cruelty more Lhan anything else in the universe, and that indifference to human suffering hurt_ him more Ll~an any physcial pain he ever felt. \Vriting of Lhe massacres of the Po!tsh and Russian Jews by the Nazis, he said "The horror is that there is no horror." And I'm sure you remember well, Mom, how when Hitler came to power, he suffered every clay with the German Jews. And in his last days, w~en .fl?wers and messages of cheer pou~·ecl in to fill his room to overflowing, he said, 1. housan\l,s of young men are dying everyday, and they make all this fuss about one man. _Well, ther~ arc pleasanter things to remember, too. He loved to laugh and joke, to smg, to wntc plays ~ncl poem~, t? walk, ~o find something and someone new every day, to be wilh children. His life was nch and full, and our lives have been richer and fuller because we were so close to him. He left us when he was still in his youth, because he never grew old. 1'vl uch much love, Herzl. �The communiLy mourns Lhe loss of Rabbi Aaron Cohen who passed away on May 21, •9·-l + The greatness o( the Rabbi is best expressed in a leuer which was wriuen by his son Hel'II Lo his mother, and with Mrs. Cohen's permission the letter is published together with two of the many poe1m which the Rabbi left behind. r RABIH COHEN Hear 111) Father!

MORRIS TELES Committee �• cA M essage from Your Chairman = Your officers and trustees of the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon present herewith the annual report for fiscal year ending August 31st, 1946. All requests for relief and assistance were equitably treated. A loan of $2,000.00 was made to the Congregation B'nai Israel, and President Sam Klayf promised to re-pay said sum by the end of 1947. An additional loan of $500.00 was made to the Mona View Jewish Cemetery Association in order for them to meet contract obligations with the City of Muskegon Heights. This makes a total of $4,500.00 loaned to Mona View Jewish Cemetery Association which is to be repaid to United Jewish Charities. The Lake District Resettlement Organization was dissolved and the cash balance of $403.84 was transferred to our account. The sum of $678.50 which was loaned to Mr. and Mrs. Max Schumacher by Lake District Resettlement Service was re-paid in full and deFosited to the credit of United Jewish Charities. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Schumacher. With this report the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon is ending six years of notable service in behalf of our suffering people in Europe and our own national and local institutions. I, also, am completing six years of service as founder and chairman of this organization and I am indeed happy and pleased for having had the privilege of serving our community and people. The Jewish Community of Greater Muskegon is challenged today as never before by the task of raising BY THREE-FOLD OF LAST YEAR'S QUOTA IN OUR 1946-47 campaign.

It is only by making these democratic processes live that Anti-Semitism and all racial bigotry can be minimized. Dr. Glaser's address was followed by an appeal for contributions for the 1945-46 United Jewish Charities Campaign.

At the oonolusion of the dinner, the meeting was called to order at 8:00 p.m. Chairman Paul Wiener was introduced by the secretary, Morton L. Wolfe, who lauded Mr. ,Wiener 'a ,unselfis~ devotion to all Jewish causes, and who emphasized the fact that much of th~ suooes.s of Muskegon's Je,wry in recent years has been due to the unselfish efforts of our Chairman, Mr. Paul Wiener. Mr. Wiener, after giving a short resume of the functions of the organization, at the same time reminded the membership that the success was not accomplished without the wb>le-bearted united cooperation of the entire community. He then introduced Rabbi Satlow, who in turn introduced the speaker of the evening, Dr. B. Benedict Glaser, Rabbi of Temple Beth El, Detroit. Dr. Glaser's address was both inspiring and educational, and although he spoke for a full hour, bis audience listened attentively and thoroughly enjoyed his every utterance. After reviewing the faot that only a small fraction of the Jewish Community still exists in Europe, he stressed the fact that this group not only needs and looks to assistance from American Jewry, but it cannot survive unless this aid is forthcoming. He also spoke as to the attitude the Jews in America should display in regards to matters politic. He emphasized �to the United Jewish Appeal during the current fiscal year, with the possibility that this amount may be increased if financial conditions warranted same. The motion carried unanimously. The meeting was adjoumed at 11:15 p.m. Respectfully submitted, ~-03:: v~ Acting Secretary. P.s. At the writing of these minutes, I am concluding fi-ve years as Secretary of the Organization, therefore I am taking tbe privilege of writing a departing message. I was happy to have bad the opportunity to have served the great humanitarian causes represented in the allocations hereinbefore set out. As a result of my small participation, I have derived tremendous benefits that cannot be measured in dollars and cents. My entire perspective in human endeavor and better appreciation of the true values of life are only a fiew of the positive results. It goes without saying that I have enjoyed to no small degree the personal friendships that have been made with the various members of the Board during their respective years of service. It is my fervent hope that those that are capable of leadership will continue to bear the responsibility of leading, because if those who have the ability to lead refuse to take up this responsibility, all that has been gained thus far will slip away into oblivion. In oonolusi$n, may I say - thanks loads for allowing me to participate in your work. Sincerely, �ME . TINS- O:? T~E 30A RD 0:" TRUS:'EES, UNITED JE' IS H CHA.

M. KAUFMAN Chflirrr,1"111 r �THE FA TE OF A COMMUNITY is, in a great measure determined by the efforts of individuals willing and capable of leadership in organizational work. It has been Muskegon Jewry's good fortune to find that leadership when the need has been the greatest. For many years the leadership of this community has enjoyed the backing and support of self-effacing J. M. Kaufman, and last year when the needs of the United Jewish Appeal reached unprecedented proportions, this goodnatured executive assumed the responsibility of surpassing the goal set for us. In effort, sacrifice and devotion, our esteemed friend knew no limits and his inability to serve further in this capacity due to physical limitations is a source of great disappointment to him and to us. Only those who have worked intimately with Kelly can appreciate the great burden of gratitude that chis community will alwavs owe him. - DR. MORRIS TELES, s~crerary. �A MESSAGE FROM YOUR ACTING CHAIRMAN It is my pleasure on behalf of the officers and trustees of the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon, to present, herewith, the annual report of receipts, expenditures and allocations for the fiscal year. This affords me the opportunity to thank my officers and trustees, as well as so many of my friends who gave so generously of their time and effort through the many meetings in order that our goal may be accomplished. My sincere thanks to all of you. This report of the United Jewish Charities ends seven years of remarkable progress. The money that has been so graciously contributed by you has not been charity, but a human treatment of a people who are struggling to regain their just place as h:uman beings-struggling against staggering odds, after the most ghastly and most devastating horror to which whole people have ever been subjected! Our community can be proud of the start that has been made. A start to~ard real solution by means of rehabilitation and resettlement. But a start alone is not enough1 HELP US FINISH THE JOB -- WILL YOU? (continued on next page) �MESSAGE (continued) l The cash balance on hand, as indicated by these exhibits, is being disbursed immediately. In past years your trustees have seen fit to advance as a loan, $4500.00 to the Mona View Cemetery Association. During the fiscal year concluded, $1200.00 was advanced, resulting in a total of $5700. 00 loaned to the Association.

Guests: Harold Silverman and ~orris Teles, secretary pro-tern. The acting secretary read the minutes of the meeting of September 4, 1946. He then suggested a correction, An allocation to the Zionist Expansion FUnd had been erroneously recorded as one to the Zionist Emergency Council. The correction was accepted and recorded, and the minutes were approved after a motion by Klayf, seconded by Rosen. A clause in a motion made at that meeting was discussed by Paul ·.1iener, namely, 11 • • • that iuture membership in the Council of Jewish 1ielfare Federation be held in abeyance until new officers for the U.J.C. for the year 1946-47 are organized." Mr. Wiener explained that the Council asked for 1% of the entire proceeds of our U.J.C. drive, but he felt that money allocated to the United Jewish Appeal should be excepted. The opinion was shared by the others present, but action was deferred. The minutes of the general membership meeting and banquet of November 6, 1946 were read and approved. The acting secretary also read the resolution making Paul \liener a lifetime voting honorary chairman of the U.J.C. �The chairman nominated as advisory trustees the followings Reeva Levy Seymour I. Rosenberg Harold Silverman Syd Strifling Morris Teles The board unanimously confirmed these appointments. The chairman nominated Morris Teles as secretary of the U. J.C. to serve at an annual salary of $250.00. The election was unanimous. The chairman asked permission to appoint another ten trustees to assist him and the board in its work. It was pointed out that the by-laws of the organization does not permit the appointment by the chairman and the board of any additional trustees. It was suggested however, that non-voting advisors be appointed with the rank of consultant trustees to assist and to advise the board in its efforts of raising money and making allocations. The chairman then nominated, and the board approved, the following members as consultant trustees: Louis Berman, Gene Berman, Francis Fine, Maurice Golden, Herman Grossman, Jack Lawson, Marcella Locke, Samuel Price, Frederick Stein and Josiah Wiener. It was explained by the chairman and affirmed by the board that Rabbi Lewis Satlow is invited to participate at all meetings or this group. Leo Rosen moved that proper steps be taken to modify the National Lumberman's Bank account of the u. J. c., now requiring the signature of Paul Wiener, so that Chairman Kaufman's signature be used instead. The motion was seconded by Norman Fleischman, and carried. The meeting was adjourned at 12s02 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Morris Teles, Secretary �UNITED JEWISH CHARITIES BOARD MEETING November 27, 1946 at the home of Chairman J.M.

Most of those absent were out of town. Our guest for the evening was Mr. William Avrunim of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds. Mr. Avrunim was invited to Muskegon to explain to the board the purposes and the needs of the Council. Mr. Avrunim's remarks were enlightening and well received. He explained that the Council was formed to fill a need demanded by local chartty boards. The Council investigates the nature of the organizations which make charitable requests of local federations. The needs of these organizations, their budgets, their purposes, etc., are studied by the Council and these results are made available to the individual communities. This information is necessary in order to make reasonable and equitable allocations. Mr. Avrunim pointed out specific instances of disproportionate allocations made because of a dearth of statistical information. Mr. Avrunim also made remarks concerning the relationship of local to national organizations, and recommended greater autonomy for local federations. He lamented the mushroom growth of civic protective agencies whose work too often overlapped. He criticized organizations which raise money for operational expenses, and use these funds for capital expenditures. He recommended the establishment of inter-community cultural groups to facilitate the procurement of qualified Jewish lecturers and entertainers for the small towns and cities.

Satlow, Abe Ashendorf, Max Rosenberg, Liarold Rosen, Revy Levy, and Marcie Locke. The meeting was called to order at 8:30 and the minutes of January 7 were read and approved. The chair read a letter from chairman J.M. Kaufman addressed to the United Jewish Appeal. The l~tter informed the U.J.A. of this community's fl.nancial burden in its attempt to build a house of worship. Mr. Kaufman pointed out that the building project had been delayed by the war, and that its facili~s were desperately needed to fill the needs of the community. He explained the financial demands made upon llfuskegon Jewry and the latter's limitations in meeting these demands. He conjectured that for the year 1947-8 we would be unable to approach our accomplishments of 1946-47, and asked that we be assigned a quota not in excess of $15,000. After much discussion in favor for and against the views expressed in the letter, Sam Lipman suggested that Mr. Kaufman's recommendations be adopted. It was decided that H. s. Berman, Harold Rosen, and Morris Teles re-draft the letter to exclude unnecessary detail. Abe Ashendorf moved that Harry S. Berman be authorized to cosign checks issued by the U. J . C. Max Rosenberg seconded the motion, and it earried. Without a formal motion it was agreed not to send a delegate to Atlantic City for the convention of the Collllcil of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds.

Leo Rosen presented to the board and to the U. J . A. representatives a brief summary of the com:mnity 1 s financial capacity and obligations with respect to our building progra~, our communal activities, and to the u. J. A. He pointed out the importance of completing our building program to assure the continuance and development of a virile community. The well-integrated community could afford constant contributions to U.J.A., and we must not allow our resources to be dissp~ted. The morale of the com.immity is at stage in protecting the building program . Nevertheless, Mr . Rosen concluded, we should be happy to accept a reasonable cuota from U.J.A., anything within reason that would not criople our capacity for future growth. �u.J.C.. The chair then appointed the following to the nrogram committee for the annual banquet: Francis Fine, Chairman; Seymour Rosenberg, d~rold Rosen, Dr• Morris Teles, Dr. Norman ilieshman, Maurice Golden, Paul Wiener, J.

Jo - 3 - 'I 7 Fred Stein asked Mr. Kosen if the forthco:ning drive would be the last great camp'lign. Mr. Kosen answered that we cannot anticip.:i.te history. U. J. A. leaders had hoped that the 85,000 D. P. 1 s in Europe would be resettled in 1946. Instead, their members enlarged to 250,000, bnigration to Pales+,ine and elsewhere was restricted, resettle~ent in the lands of their origin wus obstructed by politics &nd war-born antisemitism. Furthermore, the American 1ollar had beco~e devaluated, opportunities of procuring Army surolus at reduced prices had disappeared, U.N.N.R.A. was dead, and I.R.O. remained in existence only on pa~er. The need is at nresent for more than the $170,000,000 asked. $400,000,000 could be used. Some of those present expressed the belief that their individu:11 contributions to the forthco:'1ing ca:noaign ·m-a.Ld be less than last year. They had, they s1id, extended themselves beyond their capacities last year on the promise that last year ' s campaign would be the last grsat one. It was pointed out that had some 250,000 Jews sill alive in Eiu_rope, died last year our problem would have been si.!nryler, the demands on us sm~ller. Should we com0lain th~t we still have the opportunity of aiding these brothers? Mrs. Cohen ~ave a brief and informal talk. She questioned that anyone would be deprived of the neces.,ities of life by increasing their contributions . She reminded the audience that during the war years of 1941-45, our coo.:au.riities prospered financially and m~de no contributions to save European Jewry because they could not. After a free ride of five years, she damanded, it is time to pay. Motions and amend.'Ilents were made to assume various definite quotas. Wnen these were all defeated the following ~otion by Harry S. BeraPn (who had yielded the chair to Leo Rosen) carried: 11 That the United Jeuish Charities of Greo.ter Muskepon exert ever/ effort to attain the highest possible goal, ana that all names collected in excess of $10,000 be allocated to the United Jel'rish AT)oeal.n �J£ w Is H Cff-PrflTl'ES SPECIAL BOARD IBETING Harry S.

BERMAN Chairman \ \ / �- The success of organized community charities and philanthropies to a great extent depen<ls on the sympathy, generosity and ability of its leaders. The Un,te<l Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon face<l its greatest challenge last year when it ha<l to raise more fun<ls than at any time before in ,ts history and still not interfere\\ ith the fund-raising for our Temple. This challenge \\ as accepte<l by the able and energetic Harry S. B<:rman. Through his able lea<lership and devotion to the cause, a new goal was attained. To you, Harry S. Berman, the community acknowle<lges a <lebt of gratitude and appreciation for an assignment well <lone. PAUL M. WIENER, Honorary Chairman �A f.IBSSAGE FROO THE CHAIRHAN OF THE U. J . C. It was indeed an honor and pr ivilege to have been singled out by this community to head the U.J.C. drive in the past year. I say it was an honor because t he community by electing me for the task, showed its trust , confidence and faith in my ability to fulfill my assignment. The reason I deem it a privilege is because not everyone is privileged to live in a country such as ours where there is not only opportunity for its citizens to live in peace but where man can extend a helping hand to his fellow man, deprived of similar privileges and' opportunities. Buskegon Jewry deserves credit for its generous gifts to the U.J. C. in past years . Our giving made it possible for our brethren tc fight heroically and emerge victoriously. (continued on next page) �MESSAGE ( continued) The fight unfortunately is still on, and so our giving must not diminish this year. As a matter of fact, we must give more generously now than ever before. For while the doors of every land are practically closed to our warafflicted brethren still languishing in concentration camps, the State of Israeli has its friendly hand stretcred out to take them in, and give them a home in which they can live in freedom and enjoy a sense of dignity experienced by no other Jew anywhere on the globe. Our brethren in Europe and Palestine ask for cooperation. Let us answer them generously. HARRY S.

But whosoever is carefu l in the fulfillment of this duty attests himself as belonging to the seed of Abraham, whom the Lord hath blessed: "For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of the Lord, to do Tzedakah and Justice." (Genesis 18. 19.) Charity is the main foundation of Israel's preeminence, and the basis of the Law of Truth. As the prophet says unto Zion: "By Tzedakah shalt thou be established" (Isaiah 54. 14). Its practice will alone bring about Israel's redemption : "Zion sh al I be redeemed with justice, and they that return of her with Tzedakah" (Isaiah I. 27). Charity is greater than all sacrifices, says Rabbi Eleazar; <:ven as it is written, ..To do Tzedakah and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice". Whoso pities che poor shall himself receive compassion from the Holy One, blessed be He. Let him further reflect that as there is a wheel of fortune revolving in this world, perchance some day either he himself, or his son, or his son's son, may be brought down to the same lowly state. Nor let it enter his mind to say: ''How can I give to the poor and thus lessen my possessions)" For man must know that he is not the master of what he has, but on ly the guardian, to carry out the will of Him who entrusted these things to his keeping. Whosoever withholds alms from the needy thereof withdraws himself from the lust<:r of the Shekhinah and the light of the Law. Let man therefore be exceedingly diligent in the right bestowal of charity. Jacob ben A.rher, 1269-1349. �... !

PAUL M. WIENER Honorary Chairman �~ MESSAGE EEQM THE CHAIRMAN In terminating the campaign of 1948-49, I look back upon the years spent in the administration of the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon. After four years as Treasurer, the past year as Chairman and a board member since the organization's inception, I have had the honor and the privilege, as well as the heartfelt satisfaction of contributing, in part, to the formation and maintenance of the new Jewish State. Not only do I feel that I have contributed to the welfare of my brethren, but in doing this, I have seen the positive results of true values; I have gained a working knowledge of religion and altruism. The success of one's undertakings brings with it a joy and spirit unsurpassed. I I ~ The Jewry of Muskegon can be proud of the role it played in the fulfillment of our dreams. However, we must be mindful of the fact that our task is, as yet not completed. It is not enough to support financially; we must also give of our time and effort. I hope and pray that those men and women who are capable of leadership will assume their responsibility and that the members of our community will co-operate to insure the success of future campaigns. I I wish to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to my co-workers and to the community at large for their generous and unstinting time, money and effort. I'm sure all of us have benefitted spiritually and materially from participating in the worthiest cause in the history of mankind.

FISHER Chairman �OUR COVER PICTURE THE ANCIE~T PROVERBS said. ''In 1imes of need. ., ma,1 u·i/1 be found to fit the deed". So it was in late 1949 when the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon was in sore need of an aggressive chairman who could carry the burden of persuading a wmmunit)' that there was a continuing job to do - a continuing burd:n to shoulder. To fill this need, a man who h:1d ,1h--ays bt:~n of a sistance to other leaders with both his means and his time, rosP to the challenge. In the face of a recession in business conditions, he was able to send a record number of dollars to the United fetl'tSh Appe,,I, thus continuing the history of advancement for which Muskegon can b~ justly proud. WE SALUTE Harry Fisher. who as Chairman, undertook and succe~sfully complet~d a tremendous task in the face of serious economic hindrances. �! MESSAGE FROM THE HONORARY CHAIRMAN It is a source of pride to the Jewish Community of Greater Muskegon that, in spite of our own local institutional needs, a nearly record amount of mcney was sent for overseas relief during this past fiscal year. In this crucial period that the infant State of Israel is facing, Greater Muskegon has exhibited a consciousness of its duty to our brethren in Israel which will be remembered long af'ter the struggle for the survival of Israel is over. Muskegon Jeury has an enviable per capita record of its generous giving, equal to, or better than any Community in the United States . Our Community acknowledges a debt of gratitude to Harry A. Fisher for his generosity and leadership during the critical fiscal year of 1949-50. PAUL M. "JIENER, Honorary Chairman �! MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN In concluding the United Jewish Charities Campaign for the year 1949- 1950, I cannot but help offer thanks to the Jewish Ccmmunity of Greater Muskegon for its magnificent response to the greatest cause in the history of the Jewish people. From a personal standpoint I feel grateful for the opportunity of having been chairman of the Muskego11 U. J .. C. for 1949-1950, because through my work I have gained a more intimate knov,ledge of the tremendous good that the more than 90% of our local campai gn funds sent overseas has done in the reconstruction and rehabilitation of Israel. This has provided an enrichment of my life that nothing else I could have under taken would have accompl ished. I s the job done? Emphatically no 1 Today, we stand at the crossr oads- -for without our support during this stage in Israel's history, it cannot successfully become what can be the greatest example of democracy outside our own shores. It is up to each of us , my friends~ to conti11ue to shoulder the burden of our Israeli brethren and to make additional sac=ifices so that their future, and in a sense our future , shall be secure . I could not in good conscience transfer the r eins of my office without publicly thanking my Fellow Officers, Board Members, and particularly the Muskegon Chapter of Hadassah for their untiring efforts which assured the success of our campaign.

I say splendid because our community, through its local efforts, has manifested its desire to help bring to fruition man's instinct and determination to be free, an event we witnessed in Israel. I say splendid because our community, through its local efforts, has asserted its faith t ha t there is a force for freedom and for good in Israel. I say splendid because our community, through its local efforts, has declared that the experiment seen in the rebirth of the world's youngest democracy sha ll not fail. I say splendid because our community, through its local efforts, hos affirmed the strength of the Israeli soul which boasts a vastly greater power than any material consideration, a power which hos settled for nothing less than freedom, a power so great that it surpasses the violence of the sun itself. I say splendid, too, because I know that you will not relax your efforts to help my successor. This work for t he United Jewish Charities is a life-giving work for the entire community. I believe we can, I believe we must, mold and recreate the spiritual and moral leadership which hos always united our peoples. I say splendid, again, for from this power to unite has come the rare gift of providing so much more for such a greater cause. Continue to encourage this young man who hos just gone into business for himself. And for your generosity, and for your overflowing hear ts, God bless you.

BERMAN CO-CHAIRMAN CHAIRMAN CHAIRMAN 1943-44 1947 1948 THE WILLING GIVER He did the little that he could Choosing to do it now Not waiting for the larger good The future might allow. No one had ever heard him say When he was asked to skate "Come back again some distant day When I have more to spare". He never asked to see the list Of gifts by others made But gave his little, lest he missed His chance the cause to aid. Edgar A. Guest SAMUEL LIPMAN HARRY A. FISHER FRANCIS N. FINE CHAIRMAN CHAIRMAN CHAIRMAN 1949 1950 1951 �Dear friends: Between the CO\'ers of this book is inscribed in cold figures, but from warm hearts, a record of generosity and philanthropy established by :\fuskegon Jewry in a decade just closed. Ten years ha\'e passed since a group of local leaders met at my home and decided to organize the United Jewish Charities of Greater :\luskegon. Since that noble and modest beginning ten years ago, a total of $480,300.00 has been raised. $374,400.00 was allocated to United Jewish Appeal and other OYerseas agencies. $83,000.00 was allocated to National and local relief. The launching of the Cnited Jewish Charities was a re\'olutionary and enlightening landmark in our community. It afforded all of us an opportunity to help saYe a people, and help build a nation. As we undertake our 1953 campaign for Cnitcd Jewish Charities on December 28th. under the leadership of Herman Grossman, Samuel Lipman and Harold H.osen, we cannot rest on our past performance, but must give them our utmost support. I should like to congratulate the leaders and all other men and women listed in this book on their achie, emcnts in a decade of fruitful philanthropic effort. The generosity and high sense of communal responsibility that ha,e characterized these endeavors ha,e contributed immeasurably to the sun·iYal and well-being of countless thousands of men. women and children all oYer the world, and to the establishment of hrael as a stronghold of democracy in the l'\Iiddlc East. It is therefore. my hope and expectation that our enlightened community will meet the challenge on I)ecember 28th with commensurate understanding ancl generosity. The story in q1is book is of sacrifices made by our men and women in order to help build a brighter future for our brethren on·rseas. But, at the same time, we did not neglect our home front. \\' e built a $250,000.00 Temple, and maintained a high le, el of religious ancl cultural acti\·ities for ourselYes. At the same time. the Jewish community leaders participated in and supported The Hackley Hospital, l\Iercy Hospital, and Y\VCA building campaigns. \\' e support annually the Community Chest, Red Cross, Polio, Cancer, Yl\ICA. Boy Scouts, ancl all other community wide projects and undertakings. Our heart:and pocketbooks haYe and always will support desen·ing causes, regardless whether they arc J e,Yish or Christian. To my associates-Francis Fine, Harry A. Fisher, Kelly Kaufman, Sam Lipman. Harold Rosen. Leo Rosen, -:\frs. Syd Strifling, and others too numerous to mention-may I say that you haYe been a source of inspiration, not only to me hut to the entire community. l extend to you my sincerest heartfelt thanks and best wishes in the years to come for a full measure of good health. happiness, and prosperity as justly befits those who ha\ e established so brilliant a record of charity and sen-ice over the decade just ended. Faithfully Yours, ~a-~~~ Chairman -- -- �_About Our Chairmen PAUL M. WIENER The historic year of 1930 is remembered as a turning point in American history. For the Jewish community of Muskegon it marked the emergence of a young man into a role of leadership which he has held for almost a quarter of a century. At a time when people e\·ery\\"here were holding on to whatever they could salvage from the stock market crash, responding to the call of the late Issac Grossman. Paul 1\1. \\'iener undertook to organize the Finances of the Synagogue to carry it thrn the depression years. In 1941 he organized the United Jewish Charities whose tenth anni \ ersary we are celebrating this year. At times as the official leader and more often as the unofficial leader, his guidance and moral support were indispensable. Gifted with a dynamic personality he always directed his energies where they achieved the greatest good. First for the Jewish community, and then for the larger community, his ability for leadership was felt keenly. No cause of any worth escaped his attention. He was citizen par excellence. He contributed incessantly of his time and money to the common good. In his liberal distribution of his gifts we find personified the familiar prayer in the Union Prayer Book: "Let us be, 0 Lord, just and great-hearted in our dealings with our fellow men, sharing with them the fruits of our common labor, •acknowledging before Thee that we are but stewards of whatever we possess." Muskegon Jewry is fortunate in being able to boast of Paul \\'iener as one of ib most honored citizens. \\' e consider him the embol'iment of the truly pious man, not in the sense of isolating himself from his fellow man in prayer and meditation, but in a larger and more real sense. He serves family, friend, community, and nation. These have become for him thoroughfares to God. By his deeds he has made God's will his own, and for all his benefactions he lays no claim to reward. He abhors slander, and chicanery, and disdains the shabbiness of human selfishness. By these signs and many more we recognize Paul \Viener as a sincere man. May God grant him a long life of happiness together with his dear ones, and the realization of all his hopes and dreams. LEOS. ROSEN It can be said that he is one of the strongest pillars of the community. Not only is the Jewish community blessed by his presence, but he is a blessing to the entire community as well, for he participates in every worthwhile ci, ic enterprise in Muskegon. Before the organization of the United Jewish Charities Leo Rosen raised funds for the Joint Distribution Committee singlehandedly. The Congregation B'nai Israel will be fore\'er grateful to him for his leadership and untiring efforts in organizing and completing our ne\\" Temple. l\Iay he ever remain among us, an ideal worthy of our emulation. J. M. "KELLY" KAUFMAN A former chairman of the United Jewish Charities and one of its highest contributors, is a firm believer in the Rabbinic dictum: "Separate not thyself from the congregation." By his example he has helped to loosen the purse strings of many a donor for in the field of charity, "actions speak louder than words." !\eYertheless, Kelly Kaufman does not stop here. He is also one of the most diligent workers in the campaign. He shall always have our undying thanks. �HARRY S. BERMAN Congratulations on a successful 1948 campaign, the year of your chairmanship. SAMUEL LIPMAN He \\'as the chairman of the United Jewish Charities in 1948, the year which witnessed the largest collection in its history. Thoroughly grounded in Jewish history and literature he can discuss Jewish current events with ease and fluency. Xot satisfied with hearsay reports about Israel, only a personal trip could satisiy his curiosity about the ne\v Jewish State. H oweYer. a good mind is not his only asset. He possesses a warm and generous heart \\'hich finds expression in meritorious acts of charity whereYer they are needed. Blessed with an abundant capacity for friendship, he not only giYes of his substance but he gives of himself. He is the kind of a person one instinctiYeiy wishes to count as a friend. To know Sam is to loYe him. '\'e pray that he will remain in our midst for many more years. a blessing to all who know him. HARRY A. FISHER A former chairman of the United Jewish Charities, he is a man who has earned the respect of all of his contemporaries. Having once had to shoulder the full responsibility of this campaign he is fully appreciative of the enormity of the task facing the present chairman. "re are proud of Harry Fisher for his generosity and his many kind deeds which have endeared him not only to the members of his family but to the entire community. l\Iay God grant him many more years of fruiti11l serYice among us. FRANCIS FINE The Jewish Community of Greater '.\luskegon has long been blessed by the de\'l1t1on and generosity of its older and longtime residents. These men and \\'omen ha Ye contributed enormously in time and money, in energy and leadership. toward the establishment of strong and united Je\\'ish institutions. Always anxious to be relieH<l of the demanding duties of administration, the elders of local Jewry ha\·e been constantly alert to recognize youthful talent in their search for eYentual successors. Foremost among the young men who ha\·e made a 11ame in our community in recent years has been Francis Fine. Francis has sho\\'n a talent ior organization and leadership which :\Iuskegon quickly recognized. ancl he \\'as gi\·en the opportunity of demonstrating these qualities to the great ach antage of our entire group. By sening as Chairman of C'nited Je\Yish Charities for the fiscal year 1950-51. Francis bas himself grown in stature. In '.\luskegon he has become deeply imbued with a Jewish conscience, a deep feeling of identification with and responsibility to his people, its fate, and its institutions. ,\·e extend our most cordial thanks to Francis Fine for his senices. and commend him for his example to other young Je\\'ish men and \\'Omen of the community. ---~----- �MRS. JOSEPH STRIFLING Mrs. Joseph Strifling has served as a member of the Board of the United Je-wish Charities since its inception, and during the past two years has occupied the office of Vice-Chairman. \Vhen the general fund was implemented by the milk fund Mrs. Strifling became immediately identified with the latter. As an ardent member of Hadassah and blessed with a warm and generous heart, she not only responded herself to this human appeal for the under-nourished children of Israel, but she succeeded in firing the imagination of countless others in this worthwhile and touching project. HAROLD ROSEN Harold Rosen has served as the Vice-Chairman of the United Jewish Charities during the past several years and has participated actively in the annual drive for a much longer time. Because of his warm and genial personality he has come to be known as tl1e conciliator of Muskegon. His greatest passion is peace and harmony among all the members of the community. It can be said about him that he fulfills religiously the Rabbinic dictum: ''Be of the disciples of Aaron, loving peace, pursuing peace, and drawing all thy fellow men to the spirit of the Torah." SAM KLAYF Sam Klay£ has served as a member of the Board of the United Jewish Charities since its inception. Thoroughly versed in Jewish tradition and lore, he finds his greatest inspiration to achieve the good life from this source. He is rarely absent from the traditional Sabbath services and derives a genuine satisfaction from them. Muskegon is proud of this man of integrity and devotion to duty in whom we find the following Scriptural verse personified: "Thou shalt find grace and favor in the eyes of God and man." ELI SMITH Eli Smith exemplifies a true devotion to God which is expressed in a genuine love of his fellow men. He is not only reliable as the tenth man in a ''minyan" but he can always be counted upon for a generous contribution to the United Jewish Charities and to other worthwhile endeavors. :-.Tay his kind multiply in our community. �MRS. FRED RODOFF Mrs. Fred Rod off, Hadassah 's representative in the United Je"dsh Charities, is one of the principal mainstays of this drive. She is a firm belie, er in the traditional Jewish teaching that giving does more good for the donor than for the recipient. That is why her chief concern is with the collections from donors of $200 and less, and is the chairman of that committee. \Vhen we realize that about 70% of all donors are in this category, we are made mindful of the immensity of the task facing Millie Rodoff. MRS. R. SHMOOKLER The gifts of :Mrs. R. Shmookler to the United Jewish Charities during the past several years have been given with a generous heart and an open hand. Devoted to her family, and adored by her children and grandchildren, she is sincerely religious in every sense. The standard which she has set for giving, merits our emulation. \Ve pray for her continued health and happiness together with the members of her family. MRS. GROSSMAN Mrs. Sadie Grossman, prominent resident of Muskegon for 65 years, was one of those rare persons who always have plenty of time to help somebody else. The time many people spend in rushing from one meeting to another, or indulging in purely personal affairs, she spent as busily, though far more quietly, in visiting at our hospitals or otherwise seeking to smooth the path of some other person's illness or distress. She was a woman with an understanding heart, \\'ho was always thinking of one more way to help people to fuller and happier lives. "The rest. of us." remarked one friend, "are always wishing \\'e had more time to do the nice things we'd like to do. She had the time. How often do you know people like that? Not too often." l\Irs. Grossman was one of l\luskegon's most loyal residents, who li,·ed to see her community grow steadily, just as she always kne"· it "ould. Hers was an eminently satisfying life, \\ith deep roots in her chu~ch, her family, in friendship and service to others. ~ Reprint of on oditoriol in the Muskegon Ouonicle--November 25, 1952 �1 I I am grateful to the United Jewish Charities for this opportunity to extend greetings to the Jewish community of ::\Iuskegon on the occasion of their annual driYe. The story is told of a desert traveler who was lost for many days in the hot, dry sands and was about to expire from thirst. Suddenly he chanced upon a green, fertile oasis fed by a clear, cool spring of water. After slaking his thirst on this precious, life.giving water, he satisfied his hunger on the luscious dates which abounded there. Then he lay down to rest under the cool shade of the palm trees. His heart O\'erflowing with gratitude, he turned to the oasis and said '"Graciou:,; oasis, for your lavish and life-n·storing gift:- I would like to bless you. Shall I pray that you have cool and refreshing water, you already haYe it. Should I bless you with sweet and abundant fruit, you already possess more than you require. \\'ere I to pray that your trees prO\·ide a cool refuge against the hot desert sun, the shade of your trees is already a refreshment to the soul. I shall therefore pray that your spring of water never run dry, that your trees continue to bear abundant fruit, and provide ample shade against the hot sun. I ::\Juskcgon may be compared to an oasis that is blessed with water, fruit and shade. Its water is its substance and goods: its fruit is its people and their offspring: its shade is its ] Temple and service organizations. Like the desert tra\'eler I shall bless you as follows: :'.\I ay you C\'er be in a position to give of your substance to the less fortunate than you. :'.\lay Goel bless you \\ ith many children \\ ho will be like you in generosity and kindne:..s. ::\1ay your Temple e\'er inspire you with a lo\'e of God which will enable you to find comfort in sorrow, strength in trial, and the courage to do justly and to love mercy. ~ I z tr �-- - STATEMENT OF RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS For period of Dec. 1, 1951 to Dec. 22, 1952 $ Cash on B,and December I, 1951 Cash in Bank December I. 1951 2.350.00 757.04 $ 3,107.04 PLUS RECEIPTS: Pledges-previous years ............................. ..............................................

During 1943 greater demands were made on this community for increased financial assistance from overseas, national and local institutions and agencies. Our community accepted the challenge and raised $ 14,065.00, or an increase of 156 % over the previous year. Thus you have made it possible for Muskegon to be known nationall y as one of the most philanthropic communities on a per capita basis. Your attention is called to Schedule A-1 which shows allocations to thirty-six institutions and agencies. This is seven more than we contributed to last year. W'e also increased and in some cases doubled the allocations over what we gave last year to the same recipients. An allocation of $250.00 was sent to the Hebrew University of Palestine with instructions that this sum be awarded in the name of the Muskegon Jewish Community as an a nnual scholarship to a worthy refugee student in agriculture. We will be advised of the student's name and background when the award is made. This is a magnificent expression of generosity on the part of this community. We are now forming a Cemetery Association to b e known as Mona View H ebrew Cemetery Association, with Milton Steincller as its temporary chairman until an election is held and by-laws are adopted. In the meantime we are negotiating with the City of Muskegon H eights for the purchase of approximately $20,000.00 worth of lots to be paid for within ten years. Your board vot~d a $2,000.00 loan to the Cemetery Association with instructions that said loan be used as a down payment towards the purchase of the lots. It might be necessary in the future years to advance additional funds to maintain the contract with the City of Muskegon Heights, but eventually as the lots are sold the monies advanced will be repaid to the United Jewish Charities. It has been a so urce of pleas ure to work with each a nd every one of you. Your whole-hearted sacrifice and cooperation h as kept us united in the past and it also assures a united, bright future. Sincerely yours, Paul M. Wiener Chairman. ,, �UNr Schedule A UNITED JEWISH CHARITIES SUMMARY REPORT OF CASH AND PLEDGES 1943 - 1944 Al Amount pledged- 1943-1944 . . . $ 14,215.00 Less: Uncollectible pledges ca ncelled . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 150.00 NET PLEDGES . ... .... . . . . . . $14,065.00 Less: Collectible pledges-unpaid .. .. .... .. .

People's reaction wh en th ey fi rs t m et h im was, h ow alive h e is! h ow li ve ly! Dad Ji ved the fullest kin d of life, full of t he kin d o f activity h e beli eved in . M oney was of no consequence to him, a nd the strivings of so m a n y oth er profess iona l men fo r publicity and glo r y fi lled him with disdain . alth o h e h ad n eith er fal se pride n or false m od es ty. His idea of li fe was a life of acti vity in a nd for a group ; his J ews; his fa mil y; his community; his coun tr y. I remember h ow on Yorn Kippur h e used to emphasize Isaiah 's r inging dem a nd : " Tha t thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh!" T o him the urge to organize his fell owmen to p erform useful and sacred du ties was irres istibl e. He brough t children togeth er into reli gious study; h e b rou gh t their p aren ts to synagogu e and to Zionist work ; h e reached o ut into the gen eral communi ty to fin d m ore groups wh ere h e could ex pound and expl a in and teach and exh ort. I remem ber som e of his favor ite verses: " ' l\lorship th e Lord in the beau ty of holin ess." " Purify you rselves, ye bearers o f the vessels of th e Lord ." His mos t successful h ymn was ca lled the J oy of W orship. You can see h ow h e associated puri ty a nd b eauty a nd holi ness with reli gious worship, whi ch was of cou rse group worship . Pro babl y i t is n ot ch a nce th at durin g his las t clays in the h os pital, when h e surely knew hi s clays were numbe red, h e chose to read a book on "The Socia l Origins of Greek R eli gion ." T h e thes is of this book is that th e m ost eleva ted religi o us concepts h ave th eir roo ts in th e ordin a r y ever y-clay acti vities of a primi tive community (and n ot, therefore, in th e soli tary med ita ti ons of a h e rmi t) . Out of the struggles to grow food an d catch gam e, to grow in to ma nhood and r aise a famil y, to res ist or cajole n atural forces, there grow ideas of Goel, salvation, hum a n brotherhood , a nd immortality. So th e li fe of the gro up is the so u rce of h oly things. Not that D ad h ad a n y illusions abo u t his J ew~. But h e must always ha ve fe lt th a t in spite of ignorance, indifferen ce, a nd smugness, there was al ways h ope. H e used to say (I forget th e exact words): " .Jud aism h as fa ith in th e infinite improvability of m a n. " .Judaism , a nd Aaron C oh en, too. From the time wh en, at the age of fi ftee n, h e a te moldy bread in orde r to bu y Zi onist pa mphle ts; a nd no t long a fte r that, braved th e spy ing of the I mperi a l Russ ia n secret po li ce to parti cipate in illega l Zionist m eetings; for fi fty years h e labored fo r .Juda ism a nd fo r Zion, talking, w ri ting, teaching, organizing, creatin g poetry a nd song, leading prayer. Great fai tq , indeed, in th e infini te improva bili ty of his fellow man. W ell , th ere are many oth er things to remember a nd I'm sure they' ll come back to me . I remember th at h e was n ever afra id a nd never unkind, a nd tha t h e h a ted ignorance a nd cruel ty more th a n a n ything else in the uni verse, a nd tha t indi ffe re nce to human su fferin g h u rt him more than an y physcial pain h e ever felt. Writing of the m assacres of th e Polish a nd Russ ia n J ews b y the Nazis, he said "The h orror is that there is n o horror." And I'm su re yo u rem ember well, M om , how when Hitler cam e to power, he su ffered every clay with th e Germa n J ews. A nd in his las t clays, wh en fl owers and messages of ch eer po ured in to fill his room to overfl owing, h e said, "Thousands of young men are d yin g everyd ay, a nd they m ake all this fuss ab out one man ." W ell , there a re p leasanter thin gs to remember, too. H e loved to laugh a nd joke, to sing, to write p lays an d p oem s, to walk, to find somethin g and som eone new every d ay, to be with children . H is life was rich and full , a nd ou r li ves h ave been rich er a nd full er because we were so close to him. H e left us when h e was sti ll in his you th , b ecause h e never grew old .

WIENER Chairman 36 II �cA Message f ro1 C Your office rs and trustees of t Muskegon present herewith the ann 31st, 1946. In recent years, the Jewish Community of M uskegon has made remarkable strides in the establishment and development of religious, national, social and philanthropic organizations. The success of this small but well knit cominunity has been out of all proportion to the size of its membership. Its record is nationally outstanding. In a great measure the progress of this group has been due to the excellent leadership provided by a few talented and devoted workers, to whose unselfish contributions of time and effort the community has been ever ready to off er its cooperation and support. The accomplishment of the United Jewish Charities of Greater M uskegon evoke high praise among local and national Jewry. To the outstanding executive ability of our tireless leader, Paul )11/iener, this community acknowledges a debt of gratitude and appreciation. His constancy of devotion to the United Jewish Charities, his altruistic sacrifice of other pressing interests to the cause of charity, has gained him a place of esteem and admiration in the community. To Paul Wiener, and to the efforts and the successes of his leadership, we offer our thanks and applause. RABBI LEWIS SATLOW DR.

M. KAUFMAN Chairmo r, �THE FA TE OF A COMMUNITY is, in a great measure determined by the efforts of individuals willing and capable of leadership in organizational work. It has been Muskegon Jewry's good fortune to find that leadership when the need has been the greatest. For many years the leadership of this community has enjoyed the backing and support of self-effacing J. M. Kauf- man, and last year when the needs of the United Jewish Appeal reached unprecedented proportions, this goodnatured executive assumed the responsibility of surpassing the goal set for us. In effort, sacrifice and devotion, our esteemed friend knew no limits and his inability ro serve further in this capacity due to physical limitations is a source of great disappointment to him and to us. Only those who have worked intimately with Kelly can appreciate the great burden of gratitude that this community will always owe him . -DR. MORRIS TELES, Secretary. �A MESSAGE FROM YOUR ACTING CHAIRMAN It is my pleasure on behalf of the officers and trustees of the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon, to present, herewith, the annual report of receipts, expenditures and allocations for the fiscal year. This affords me the opportunity to thank my officers and trustees, as well as so many of my friends who gave so generously of their time and effort through the many meetings in order that our goal may be accomplished. My sincere thanks to all of you. This report of the -United Jewish Charities ends seven years of remarkable progress. The money that has been so graciously contributed by you has not been charity, but a human treatment of a people who are struggling to regain their just place as h:uman beings-struggling against staggering odds, after the most ghastly and -most devastating horror to which whole people have ever been subjected! Our community can be proud of the start that has been made. A start toward real solution by means of rehabilitation and resettlement. But a start alone is not enoughl HEU> US FINISH THE JOB -- WILL YOU? (continued on next page) �MESSAGE (continued) The cash balance on hand, as indicated by these exhibits, is being disbursed immediately. In past years your trustees have seen fit to advance as a loan, $4500.00 to the Mona View Cemetery Association. During the fiscal year concluded, $1200.00 was advanced, resulting in a total of $5700 . 00 loaned to the Association. I sincerely trust that you will again extend your whole-hearted support and cooperation for the urgent needs that confront Muskegon's Jewry. Sincerely yours, HARRY S.

BERMAN Chairman / �J.. MESSAGE FJ CHAIRMAN OF Tl The success of organized community charities and philanthropies to a great ex tent depends on th e sympathy, generos ity and ability of its leaders. The United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon face d its g reatest challenge last year when it had to raise more funds than at any time before in its history and still not interfere with th e fund -ra ising for our Temple. This challenge was accepted by the able and energeti c H ar ry S. Berm an. Through his able leadership and devoti on to th e cause, a new goal was attained . To you, Harry S. Berman, the community acknowledges a debt of gratitude and appreciation for an assignment well done. PAUL M . WIENER, Honorary Chairman It was indeed an hoi have been singled out bJ head the U.J .

It was indeed an honor and pr ivilege to have been singled out by this community to head the U.J . C. drive in the past year. I say it was an honor because the community by electing me f or the task, showed its trust, confidence and faith in my ability to fulfill my assignment . The reason I deem it a privilege is because not everyone is privileged to live in a country such as ours where there is not only opportunity for its citizens t o live in peace but where man can extend a helping hand to his fellow man, deprived of similar privileges and' opportunities . Muskegon Jewry deserves credit for its generous gifts to the U.J. C. in past years • Our giving made it poss ible for our brethren to fight heroically and emerge victoriously. .

The only reason that a request was made that this organization pay this amount was because the finances of the Lodge would not permit same , and members of the Lodge would not understand the additional collections in view of the - fact that United Jewish Charities was attempting to unify all fund raising in this community.

That the Chairman and the Treasurer sign all vouchers and checks drawn on the bank account of this Association. 3. That the Chairman have the power to appoint, with the consent of the elected trustees, five additional trustees to serve in the capacity of a trustee dur·ing that period in which a Chairman presides.

The meeting was adjourned at 11:50 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Secretary L �L ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING of the UNITED JEWISH CHARITIES Held September 12, 1945, in the Bal 1 Room of the Occidental Hotel, Muskegon, Michigan A precedent was set at this annual meeting in that the women as well as the men were invited to the dinner, and the meeting.following. At the conclusion of the dinner, the meeting was called to order at 8:00 p.m. Chairman Paul Wiener was introduced by the secretary, Morton L. Wolte, who _laud~d Kr • .Wi~ner 'e ,w ieelfie~ _ \ . devot_ion to all Jewish causes, and who emphasized th,e :tact that much o~ th~ succe~s of Muskegon's Je,wry in recent years has been due to L the unselfish efforts of our Chairman, Kr. Paul Wien~r. Kr. Wiener, after giving a short resume of the functi.ons of the organization, at the same time reminded the membership that the success was not accomplished without the whole-hearted wiited cooperation of the entire community. He then introduced Rabbi Satlow, who in tum introduced the speaker of the evening, Dr. B. Benedict Glaser, Rabbi of Temple Beth El, Detroit. Dr. Glaser's address was both inspiring and educational, and although he spoke for a full hour, his audience listened attentively and thoroughly enjoyed his every utterance. After renewing the fact that only a small fraction of the Jewish Community still exists in Europe, he stressed the fact that this group not only needs and looks to assistance from American Jewry, but it cannot survive unless this aid is forthcoming. He also spoke as to the attitude the Jews in America should display in regards to matters politic. He emphasized �that we, as Americans and Jews, will never be safe from bigotry, Nazism, and all of the other horrors against which this war was fought, unless the democratic processes are made to live. It is only by making these democratic processes live that Anti-Semitism and all racial bigotry can be minimized. Dr. Glaser's address was followed by an appeal for contributions for the 1945-46 United Jewish Charities Campaign. Chairman Paul Wiener invited the ladies to participate in the contributions. 103 members were present and pledged 118,252.00. An election was then held for officers and members of the Board of Trustees to serve for the ensuing year. The following officers were elected: Ohairman: llr. Paul K. Wiener was unanimously re-elected by acclamation for the sixth consecutive year. Co-Chairman: Mr. Jacob Iaufman was elected Co-Chairman by acclamation. The following men were elected to the Board of Trustees: Mr. Harry A. Fisher Mr. Jack Lawson Kr. Leos. Rosen Kr. Abe Ashendorf Kr. Samuel G. nayf Kr. Samuel Lipman Kr. Harold Silverman During the entire evening the group was entertained by vocal renditions by Eileen Gudelsky, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Gudelsky, Ur. and Mrs. Joe Singer and daughter from Hart, Michigan, aswell as Mrs. Harriet Talbot and Mrs. Leo Rose. They were accompanied by Mrs. Tony Aron. d d, The meeting was concluded at 11:15 p.m. Respectfully ~ --~ �to the United Jewish Appeal during the current fiscal year, with the possibility that this amount may be increased if financial conditions warranted same. The motion carried unanimously. The meeting was adjoumed at 11:15 p.m. Respectfully submitted, ~~: V~ Acting Secretary. P.s. At the writing of these minutes, I am concluding fi-ve years as Secretary of the Organization, therefore I am taking the privilege of writing a departing message. I was happy to have bad the opportunity to have served the great humanitarian causes represented in tre allocations hereinbefore set out. As a result of my small participation, I have derived tremendous benefits that cannot be measured in dollars and cents. My entire perspective in human endeavor and better appreciation of the true values of life are only a fiew of the positive results. It goes without saying tbat I have enjoyed to no small degree the personal friendships that have been made with the various members of the Board during their respective years of service. It is my fervent hope tbat those that are capable of leadership will continue to bear the responsibility of leading, because if those who have the ability to lead refuse to take up this responsibility, all that has been gained thus far will slip away into oblivion. In conclusion, may I say - thanks loads for allowing me to participate in your work.

Most of those absent were out of town. Our guest for the evening was Mr. William J.vrunim of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds. Mr. Avrunim was invited to Muskegon to explain to the board the purposes and the needs of the Council. Mr. Avrunim's remarks were enlightening and well received. He explained that the Council was formed to fill a need demanded by local charity boards. The Council investigates the nature of the organizations which make charitable requests of local federations. The needs of these organizations, their budgets, their purposes, etc., are studied by the Council and these results are made available to the individual communities. This information is necessary in order to make reasonable and equitable allocations. Mr. Avrunim pointed out specific instances of disproportionate allocations made because of a dearth of statistical information. Mr. Avrunim also made remarks concerning the relationship of local to national organizations, and recommended greater autonomy for local federations. He lamented the mushroom growth of civic protective agencies whose work too often overlapped. He criticized organizations which raise money for operitional expenses, and use these funds for capital expenditures. He recommended the establishment of inter-community cultural groups to facilitate the procurement of qualified Jewish lecturers and entertainers for the small towns and cities.

He explained the financial demands made upon Muskegon Jewry and the latter's limitations in meeting these demands. He conjectured that for the year 1947-S we would be unable to approach our accomplishments of 1946-47, and asked that we be assigned a quota not in excess of $15,000.

Resoectfully submitted, Morris Teles L �,v . J , c_ . L Jo - 3 - 'I 7 Fred Stein asked Mr. Kosen if the forthcoming drive would be the last great campaign. Mr. Kosen answered that we cannot anticipate history. U. J. A. leaders had hoped that the 85,000 D. P. 1 s in Europe would be resettled in 1946. Instead, their members enlarged to 250,000, immigration to Palestine and elsewhere was restricted, resettlement in the lands of their origin was obstructed by politics and war-born antisemitism. Furthermore, the American dollar had become devaluated, opportunities of procuring Army surplus at reduced prices had disappeared, U.N.N.R.A. was dead, and I.R.O. remained in existence only on pa,er. The need is at uresent for more than the $170,000,000 asked. $400,000,000 could be used. Some of those present exoressed the belief that their individual contributions to the forthcoming camoaign ·~ould be less than last year. They had, they said, extended themselves beyond their capacities last year on the promise that last year's campaign would be the last great one. It was oointed out that had some 250,000 Jews sill alive in Europe, died last year our problem would have been simnler, the demands on us smaller. Should we comJlain that we still have the opportunity of aiding these brothers? Mrs. Cohen gave a brief and informal talk. She questioned that anyone would be deprived of the necessities of life by increasing their contributions. She reminded the audience that during the war years of 1941-45, our conrnunities prospered financially and made no contributions to save European Jewry bec~use they could not. After a free ride of five years, she damanded, it is time to pay. Motions and amenQ~ents were made to assume various definite quotas. When these were all defeated the following mot;_on by Harry S. Berman (who had yielded the chair to Leo Rosen) carried: That the United Jewish C'1.arities of Gre'lter Muskegon exert every effort to attain the highest nossible goal, and that all names collected in excess of $10,000 be allocated to the United Jewish Apneal." 11 �J£ WI L 5 H Cff-A~ITl"ES SPECIAL BOARD MEETING Harry S.

But whosoever is careful in the fulfillment of this duty attests himself as belonging to the seed of Abraham, whom the Lord hath blessed: "For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of the Lord, to do Tzedakah and Justice." (Genesis 18. 19.) Charity is the main foundation of Israel's preeminence, and the basis of the Law of Truth. As the prophet says unto Zion: "By Tzedakah shalt thou be established" (Isaiah 54 . 14). Its practice will alone bring about Israel's redemption: "Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and they that return of her with Tzedakah" (Isaiah 1. 27). Charity is greater than all sacrifices, says Rabbi Eleazar; even as it is written, "To do Tzedakah and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice". Whoso pities the poor shall himself receive compassion from the Holy One, blessed be He. Let him further reflect that as there is a wheel of fortune revolving in this world, perchance some day either he himself, or his son, or his son's son, may be brought down to the same lowly state. Nor let it enter his mind to say: "How can I give to the poor and thus lessen my possessions?" For man must know that he is not the master of what he has, but only the guardian, to carry out the will of Him who entrusted these things to his keeping. Whosoever withholds alms from the needy thereof withdraws himself from the luster of the Shekh inah and the light of the Law. Let man therefore be exceedingly diligent in the right bestowal of charity. Jacob ben Ashe,·, 1269-1349 . �! m MESSAGE f g ~RARY QHAIIWAN The United Jewish Charities or Greater Muskegon should not be regarded merely as a unified fund-raising instrument that swings into operation onlf during the daya of its annual campaign.

The organizations which it helps to support e~compass a large part of the globe and include significant efforts in your behalf in the United States and in our own community of Greater Muskegon. So that you may know the sources of the funds and how they are utilized, this annual report is being sent to you by your Chairman, Samuel Lipman.

PAUL M. WIENER Honorary Chairman ��! MESSAGE FROM ,lllli CHAIRMAN In terminating the campaign of 1948-49, I look back upon the years spent in the administration of the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon. After four years as Treasurer, the past year as Chairman and a board member since the organization's inception, I have had the honor and the privilege, as well as the heartfelt satisfaction of contributing, in part, to the formation and maintenance of the new Jewish State. Not only do I feel that I have contributed to the welfare of my brethren, but in doing this, I have seen the positive results of true values; I have gained a working knowledge of religion and altruism. The success of one's undertakings brings with it a joy and spirit unsurpassed. The Jewry of Muskegon can be proud of the role it played in the fulfillment of our dreams. However, we must be mindful of the fact that our task is, as yet not completed. It is not enough to support financially; we must also give of our time and effort. I hope and pray that those men and women who are capable of leadership will assume their responsibility 'and that the members of our community will co-operate to insure the success of future campaigns. I wish to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to my co-workers and to the community at large for their generous and unstinting time, money and effort. I'm sure all of us have benefitted spiritually and materially from participating in the worthiest cause in the history of mankind.

FISHER Chairman �OUR COVER PICTURE THE ANCIENT PROVERBS said. "In times of 11eed, a man will be found to fit the deed'". So it was in late 1949 when the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon was in sore need of an aggressive chairman who cou Id carry the burden of persuading a community that there was a continuing job to do - a continuing burd ~n to shoulder. To fill this need, a man who had always been of assistance to other leaders with both his means and his time, rose to the cha llenge. In the face of a recession in business conditions, he was able to send a record number of dollars to the United f eu·ish Appeal, thus continuing the history of ad- vancement for which Muskegon can 6~ just ly proud. WE SALUTE Harry Fisher. who as Chairman, undertook and successfu ll y comp leted a tremendous task in the face of serious economic hindrances. �FROM -A MESSAGE - THE HONORARY CHAIRMAN It is a source of pride to the Jewish Community of Greater Muskegon that, in spite of our own local institutional needs, a nearly record amount of mcney was sent for overseas relief during this past fiscal year. In this crucial period that the infant State of Israel is facing, Greater Muskegon has exhibited a consciousness of its duty to our brethren in Israel which will be remembered long after the struggle for the survival of Israel is over. Muskegon Jewry has an enviable pe!' capita record of its generous giving, equal to, or better than any Community in the United States. Our Community acknowledges a debt of gratitude to Harry A. Fisher for his generosity and leadership during the critical fiscal year of 1949-50. PAUL M. WIENER, Honorary Chairman ��_A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAl'J In concluding the United Jewish Charities Campaign for the year 1949-1950, I cannot but help offer thanks to the Jewish Community of Greater Muskegon for its magnificent response to the greatest cause in the history of the Jewish people. From a personal standpoint I feel grateful for the opportunity of having been chairman of the Muskegon U. J.C. for 1949-1950, because through my work I have gained a more intimate knowledge of the tremendous good that the more than 90% of our local campaign funds sent overseas has done in the reconstruction and rehabilitation of Israel. This has provided an enrichment of my life that nothing else I could have undertaken would have accomplished. Is the job done? Emphatically no l Today, we stand at the crossroads--for without our support during this stage in Israel's history, it cannot successfully become what can be the greatest example of democracy outside our own shores. It is up to each of us, my friends:, to contiuue to shoulder the burden of our Israeli brethren and to make additional sac~ifices so that their future, and in a sense our future, shall be secure. I could not in good conscience transfer the reins of my office without publicly thanking my Fellow Officers, Board Members, and particularly the Muskegon Chapter of Hadassah for their untiring efforts which assured the success of our campaign.

Herman Grossman for his assuming the chairmanship of the United Jewish Charities during the past year. His was a leadership that was forthright and dynamic. With Herman in the chair, there never was a dull moment at meetings. His deep - rooted interest in the cause which he championed was expressed not only in his hard-hitting words, but in his traveling many hundreds of miles to regional U.J.A. conferences where he drew inspiration to carry on in the community. For his devotion and self-sacrifice, we extend to Herman Grossman our most heartfelt thanks . PAUL M . WIENER, Honorary Chairman. ------~-------------------------.----------- �MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN As the 1952-1953 year in the United Jewish Charities program closes, I give thanks and gratitude on behalf of the officers and trustees to a splendid community which continues to take its place among the Jewish communities of Michigan . I say splendid because our community, through its local efforts, has manifested its desire to help bring to fruition man's ins.tinct and determination to be free, an even1" we witnessed in Israel. I say splendid because our community, through its local efforts, has asserted its faith that there is a force for freedom and for good in Israel. I say splendid because our community, through its local efforts, has declared that the experiment seen in the rebirth of the world ' s youngest democracy shall not fail. I say splendid because our commun- ity, through its local efforts, has affirmed the strength of the Israeli soul which boasts a vastly greater power than any material consideration , a power which has settled for nothing less than freedom, a power so great that it surpasses the violence of the sun itself . I say splendid, too, because I know that you will not relax your efforts to help my successor. This work for the United Jewish Charities is a life-giving work for the entire community. I believe we can , I believe we must, mold and recreate the spiritual and moral leadership which has always united our peoples . I say splendid, again, for from this power to unite has come the rare gift of providing so much more for such a greater cause. Continue to encourage this young man who has just gone into business for himself . And for your generosity, cind for your overflowing hearts, God bless you.
