and his tailored suits are im-
peccably matched with his shirt
and tie.
Then there's his fanaticism
about fitness: Mr. Klein's regi-
men includes a twice-weekly
weight-lifting program and six-_
mile runs every day around his
Bloomfield Hills neighborhood.
He drives a Corvette and watch-
es his cholesterol intake.
In 1967, amid the increasing-
ly vehement protests against the
Vietnam War and escalating
racial tensions, Mr. Klein chose
to pursue the cosmic, apolitical,
• free-love conventions in Haight-
• - Ashbury, the center of the "turn-
on" generation. He, along with
three other friends, made the
trek westward.
Two days later, with FBI as-
sistance and an "all points bul-
letin," they were sitting in a
Cheyenne, Wyo., jail. Two of the
four West Coast-bound travel-
ers hadn't told their parents
about the trip. The wild expe-
riences, says Mr. Klein, were
only just beginning.
Hisparents were "under-
standing" or perhaps exceed-
ingly tolerant of their son, who
was then a 20-year-old college
junior studying sociology at Oak-
• land University. Yet they prob-
ably grew reasonably suspicious
when Mr. Klein brought a
"friend" back home for a visit.
The friend, an imposing figure,
viewed the trip more as a "busi-
ness," as he sought to expand his
network of drug dealing.
After attending grad school in
San Francisco in the early
1970s, Mr. Klein headed back to
Detroit. Married and a father,
he broke ranks with the hippies
out of necessity. He began as a
realtor selling homes. Shortly
thereafter, Mr. Klein worked at
Schostak Brothers, where he
• _ learned about the commercial
/— 'real estate industry.
By 1982, he once again
demonstrated a streak of inde-
pendence when he established
Barry M. Klein Real Estate Inc.
in Bloomfield Hills. But the rev-
elations about the summer of
1967 would have to wait.
•
"In '77 and '87, I didn't feel like
• I could tell the story without con-
sequences," he said, noting that
he had a career to consider, and
in the late '80s he was going
through a painful divorce.
Since handing in his beads
and roach clips, Mr. Klein has
become the prototypical com-
mercial real-estate entrepre-
neur. Besides heading a growing
business, he is a trustee and for-
mer state director for the Inter-
national Council of Shopping
Centers and an oft-quoted retail
analyst. His company has rep-
resented Sears, Montgomery
Ward and the Pep Boys.
