Personal Background

I grew up in Gary, Indiana, in the '50's when the colored sky meant prosperity.  I was lucky enough to be appointed to West Point and I graduated in '68.  I married my childhood sweetheart ten days after graduation and we embarked on an adventure that took us to Berlin during the Cold War and took me to Vietnam where I served as a platoon leader and company commander in the 101st Airborne Div.  When we left the Army my wife and I were hired at the same time by IBM where we received wonderful marketing training.  After IBM we moved to San Francisco on an airliner and lived on a houseboat.  In San Francisco we participated in Vietnam veterans advocacy which prepared us to go to Seattle where I managed the city's veterans counseling center.  We came home to the midwest in 1985 and are really pleased with our choice to be in Saugatuck-Douglas.


About the Saugatuck-Douglas Area

   Saugatuck-Douglas c 1900

The "Saugatuck-Douglas Area" refers to the West Michigan coastal areas from Holland to South Haven and inland.  They share a common past.

In the 1830s William Butler set up a trading post in Saugatuck, which was then a Native American village. Harbor improvements in the 1860s led to shipbuilding and tourism. By the turn of the century hardwood trees were over-harvested and fruit farming developed.

A 19th century hotel on the Kalamazoo River now houses the Chicago Art Institute's Summer School of Art. This area has always attracted artists. In summer you can enjoy the Waterfront Film Fest and Chamber Music Festival, two playhouse theaters, and art galleries.  The Saugatuck Center for the Arts produces exciting programming year 'round.

 


This former mansion became a tourist boarding house and is now one of the area's finest art galleries.

Unlike so many lumbertowns of the Victorian era, Saugatuck and Douglas were not destroyed by fire.  The architectural heritage has remained intact.

 

The street is paved now, but looks almost the same today.

Boating and beaching are still favorite activities. The City of Saugatuck's Oval Beach has been named one of the top beaches in the country. The community has three fine golf courses, too.

 


The Saugatuck Harbor Natural Area is part of the longest stretch of undeveloped sand dunes in Michigan.

Tourism is a big part of the economy. There is a large collection and variety of lodging facilities.

 

Former B & B located on Lake Michigan at Pier Cove.

Aside from the natural beauty and recreational activities, this area is a great place to live. It's school system has small class sizes and the Interurban mini-bus makes services accessible to everyone in the township.

 

Patio overlooking the Kalamazoo Marsh
