Letter from the President Holiday Party SAUGATUCK-DOUGLAS HISTORICAL SOCIETY | BOX 617 | DOUGLAS, MI 49406 | 269-857-5751 | www.sdhistoricalsociety.org DECEMBER 2008 LETTER FROM THE HOLIDAY PARTY PRESIDENT Dear SDHS Members, I was trying to write a SDHS parody to the story, The Night Before Christmas, but just couldn’t get it to rhyme the way it should and get the message across. Que Sera, Sera didn’t fit this time. I know that a newsletter in December is something that has not been done in the past, but we want to continue to keep the lines of communication open all year long. The Society is busy and many things are happening and much will be happening in 2009. I guess you could say this is a small historical event. The recent Holiday Party was a success and it was wonderful to see so many of you come out, in spite of the weather. A Thank You to everyone who helped plan the evening and to Mike Johnson and his hardworking staff at Coral Gables. SDHS continues to move forward and you should all have received your membership renewal information in the mail recently. We hope that you will mail your renewal back to us soon. Your membership is important to the success of the Society. If you did not receive one, please let us know by emailing us at [email protected] or calling the SDHS office at 269.857.5751. For those who have responded, we thank you. Now for a plug --- we are in need of volunteers to plan the 2009 St. Pat’s Pub Party. Many of our members are away during these cold winter months and those who remain are reluctant to take on such a project alone. I would like to suggest that teams of two or three volunteers work together on different aspects of the party. A team to work with Mike and his staff at Coral Gables, a team to work on the auction, a team to work on decorations, the mailing and tickets. These are just a few examples. If this sounds more manageable and you are willing to help and be a part of the party, please let me know. Everyone looks forward to the event every year. You may call me at 269.561.2305 or email me at [email protected]. We will provide a to-do list so that we don’t miss anything. On behalf of the Board I want to wish you all a wonderful holiday season and all the best in 2009. I personally wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Nancy Woods WHO IS THE OLDEST PERSON IN THE SAUGATUCK-DOUGLAS CEMETERIES? by Chris Yoder With the recent passing of SDHS stalwart Sylvia Randolph at the age of 103, the community loses not only a much beloved citizen; but also one of the oldest in the history of Saugatuck-Douglas. Who was the oldest? Saugatuck Township records show that a Lucy Picket died in 1882, is buried at Riverside Cemetery, and claims she was the "oldest age, 115 years old". These records also say '"VERY OLD AGE died at Saugatuck, somewhere in Potters field". This "fact" is supported by the entry in the Commercial Record at the time. She is also mentioned in an 1882 issue of THE PHRENOLOGICAL JOURNAL AND LIFE ILLUSTRATED, which cites her age at death as 115, followed by two gentlemen at 106, and others over 100. So was Lucy the oldest buried in Saugatuck? No! In fact she was not really 115 years old at all. The 1880 census shows that Lucy Picket, age 81 born New York, was living in Bear Lake Twp, Manistee Co., Michigan. She is shown as "adopted mother" in a household with John Montee, age 27, and his wife Caroline, age 26. The state of Michigan death records include a listing for: "Lucy Picket - Date of death: 22-Apr-1882; Place of death: Saugatuck, Allegan Co; County of Death: Manistee (sic); Sex: Female; Race: White; Marital Status: Widowed; Age: 84 years 3 months 16 days; Cause of Death: old age; Birthplace: New York; Occupation: Speculator." She rests someplace in the Riverside Cemetery Potter’s Field without a gravestone. There are, in fact, six individuals older than Sylvia in our local cemeteries, all at Riverside. The oldest of these is Mabel Dunseth Howson, who, with her husband Louis, summered at their Shorewood community cottage for over 70 years. Louis was the President of the Shorewood Association for over 50 years, and was a partner in the firm of Alvord, Burdick, and Howson. Mr. Alvord designed and put in the Saugatuck Water Works in 1904, and it was through him that the Howson family came to adopt Saugatuck as their yearly vacation spot. Mabel Howson and husband Louis Mabel at 103 years Those older than Sylvia (all at Riverside Cemetery) are: Howson, Mary Mabel - Block-C, R-S, L-3, Gr #1 (Jul. 25, 1888 -Sep. 2, 1993) (105y, 1m, 8d) Erickson, Lillian, - Block-8, R-28, L-17, Gr #1 (Aug. 16, 1895-Aug. 21, 2000) (105 years 5days) Wright, Edna Barr - Block 8, R-25, L-13, Gr # 5 (Jun. 23, 1900-Feb. 5, 2005) (104y, 7m, 13d) Edna Barr Wright Wagner, Frederick John - Block-7, R-28, L-9, Gr#1 (Aug. 4, 1859- Jan. 11, 1964) (104 y, 5m, 7d) Fred Wagner Konecy, Hazel Blanche - Block 1, R-OOE, L-5, Gr 2 (Mar. 24, 1900-Aug. 31, 2004) (104y, 5m, 7d) Thomas, Elizabeth - Block-1, R-2, L-8, Gr #1 (Jul. 1, 1891-Oct. 1, 1995) (104y, 3m) Centenarians younger than Sylvia, (at Riverside) were: Flack, Winifred - Block-1, R-H, L-6, Gr #3 (Sep.

Van Jordan Rosal: Patrick Rosal A: Speaker from audience Levy: Welcome to Our Life in Poetry: New Poets/New Poetics. I must say this is the youngest group of poets we’ve had here at the Philoctetes Center, and you’re also alive, which is different than some of the other poets. We’re really working in that direction. We want the living. I’m very proud to introduce Michael Braziller. Mike Braziller is president and publisher of Persea Books, a literary publishing company that he founded in 1975. Mike will moderate tonight’s panel and introduce our other distinguished—I don’t know how to put this—young poets. Thanks, Mike. Braziller: Thanks, Frank, and I’d like to thank Ed Nersessian, Ellen Fertig, Adam Ludwig and Polly Rosenwaike for their help—and Patricia Brody was a special help organizing this particular panel. This is a Philoctetes poetry first, a reading by three accomplished young writers, followed by discussion of formative pressures and influences, and what of their lives has come into their poems. Each will read for about ten or fifteen minutes, and then talk for a little while, generally about when poetry first occurred in their lives and about their life in poetry. We’ll look a little—it’s inevitable—at the regional, the local, family, street, neighborhoods, small town, coming of age, along with social awareness, politics, social criticism.

    The Wonder Years Episode & Music Guide “What would you do if I sang out of tune … would you stand up and walk out on me?" 6 seasons, 115 episodes and hundreds of great songs – this is “The Wonder Years”. This Episode & Music Guide offers a comprehensive overview of all the episodes and all the songs played during the show. The episode guide is based on the first complete TWY episode guide which was originally posted in the newsgroup rec.arts.tv in 1993. It was compiled by Kirk Golding with contributions by Kit Kimes. It was in turn based on the first TWY episode guide ever put together by Jerry Boyajian and posted in the newsgroup rec.arts.tv in September 1991. Both are used with permission. The music guide is the work of many people. Shane Hill and Dawayne Melancon corrected and inserted several songs. Kyle Gittins revised the list; Matt Wilson and Arno Hautala provided several corrections. It is close to complete but there are still a few blank spots. Used with permission.

  • Sing Me a Song, Doris
    Sing me a song, Doris. 1 Humming a Doris Day tune, I abandoned the body. If he wasn’t dead, he would soon enough die for lack of medical attention. In the Corfiot heat the corpse would desiccate like the mummified remains of St Spyridon, at rest on the golden isle. I wouldn’t mourn for Dimitri Patridis. If pushed into a witness box I would say it was accidental but a jury (and I have faced a few in my time) might argue differently. Cross my heart and hope to make good my escape. On that hot summer morning ten days earlier when my phone rang I had not expected it to end with a body. All I knew then was that Maggie, my younger sister, had been injured in a speedboat accident. That’s what they said through a heavy Greek accent. The sting in the tail? She was on the island of Corfu. My details had been in her bag. Not exactly listed as next-of-kin but as her brother and the first number on a small business card in her satchel. I barely had time to process my surprise that she was on Corfu before my plane tickets were booked and I was preparing to fly to the island from my home in Edinburgh. The one saving grace was that Maggie also lived in the city, though she was away across town. I stayed out west near to Murrayfield stadium; Maggie lived in on the east side, near Easter Road. Pure coincidence but she loved football and I loved rugby.

  • Que Sera Sera Robert Stone Before I Get Down to the Main Course of This Talk, I’Ll Serve up a Little Hors-D’Oeuvre, Getting a Long-Held Grievance Off My Chest
    Que sera sera Robert Stone Before I get down to the main course of this talk, I’ll serve up a little hors-d’oeuvre, getting a long-held grievance off my chest. It is a given of human experience that things appear to happen in order. Some things happen after other things, and yet other things happen after them. The most reasonable explanation for this experience is that things do in fact happen after other things, and we notice the fact. The whole area of ‘before and after’ is called ‘time’, one of those abstract nouns that, in the words of Philip Larkin, “brings the priest and the doctor in their long coats running over the fields”. As soon as we invent an abstract noun – like time, mind, the good – people assume that it must refer to some kind of nonphysical entity, and a deluge of nonsense is unleashed. Time flows, events pass from future to past, the ‘now’ moves through time. Just as with ‘mind’, we could abolish the word ‘time’ from the language and still say all meaningful sentences we want to say without using either the word itself or any synonym of it. So I intend to talk about my chosen topic without once using the word ‘time’ – from hereon in! The problem My subject is statements about the future: can they be true now? To clear away two possible ambiguities before I start, first, when I talk about statements, I’m referring only to unambiguous ones, where there is no doubt about what they mean.
