Raymond Fisher : Grand Haven newspaperman
Raymond Fisher was the grandson of Abraham Fisher, one of the first commercial fishermen in Grand Haven. Raymond's father continued the tradition. In this interview, Fisher talks about the fishing business and working at The Square Drug Store on Seventh and Fulton Streets before becoming a reporter for the Grand Haven Tribune and head staffer at the Muskegon Chronicle. He was a life-long member of the First Reformed Church and talks in detail about its history. Other memories he recalls include the opening of US-31, the old coal dock, childhood and leisure time activities, the WPA, and historic schools in the area.
