The Holland City Council has been like a
second job since 1982 when I was appointed
to fill a vacancy. I then was re-elected in
1983, 1985, 1989, 1993, 1997, 2001 and 2005. I'm
obviously not a big fan of term limits! I am
the city council's liaison to the
Zoning Board of Appeals and the
Board of
Public Works.
The
City Of Holland, Michigan has its own
web page. You can use it to browse
different city departments, communicate with
the
Mayor , any
City Council Member or
City Manager or to request information.
My
ward is roughly defined as: 14th Street
on the north, River Avenue / Michigan Avenue
on the east, 24th Street on the south and
Graafschap road on the west.
There are large exceptions to this as of the
2002 census, so take a look at the
map.
I have a real job too! Since 1987 I have been with advertising department of
the
Grand Rapids Business Journal
-- a weekly business-to-business newspaper in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The
G. R. Business Journal
is an incredible newspaper that reaches (through paid subscriptions) over
25,000 business decision makers throughout the west Michigan area.
I currently
serve as an Advertising Sales Consultant. You can start a subscription or
request advertising info by
contacting
me .
Genealogy is a
big part of my life. I am mostly working on my "Rich"
family history. I am a lifetime member of the
Rich Family Association of Wellfleet, Massachusetts and have designed a web
page for the association. Through
Rootsweb I administer two email mailing
lists -- the Mayflower list and the Rich
list. So, whether you're searching for your Pilgrim roots or you have Riches
in your past, you've come to the right place!
As a SCUBA diver and wreck researcher, I spend
almost as much time underwater as I do in the library or on the Internet
researching "ships gone missing". I am a part of the team which recently
discovered the wreck of the long-lost "H. C. Akeley", the car ferry
"Ann Arbor no. 5" and the "SS Michigan". We've formed the non-profit group
Michigan Shipwreck Research Associates to assure proper documentation and
research of these historic vessels and others we plan to locate.
