| 16599 | Grulich - Anne Theresa Grulich (1954 -2022) |
|
|
|
| Anne Grulich was one of the most ardent supporters of the Digital Archive. As an archivist for the Great Cranberry Island Historical Society, she was one of the first to adopt the Digital Archive for her organization, and later worked hard to convince other organizations to adopt it as well. As one of the first users of the technology, she made numerous contributions to its development in the form of ideas for how to make it better. She was fierce in her efforts to see the Digital Archive succeed and deserves much credit for its eventual success. Anne was sweet, kind, and thoughtful and a pleasure to work with. Her obituary from the Mount Dessert Islander follows. Anne Grulich died on March 6, 2022, in Durango, Colo. She was born Jan. 24, 1954, the seventh of eight children, and grew up with her cheerful, active family in Crestwood, N.Y., and Greenwich, Conn. During her husband’s service in the Navy, Anne created happy homes for her own young family in Hawaii and Italy. She was a wonderful and loving mother to her sons, Luke and Andrew. Upon return to the States, the family eventually settled in Eastern Maryland, where Anne graduated, summa cum laude, with a degree in anthropology/archaeology from St Mary’s College, followed by an MA in American studies with material culture and museum studies certificates from the University of Maryland. Her subsequent work spanned a full spectrum of hands-on art and artifact processing to policy, planning, systems development, research, writing, education, communications and publications for museums and other collections in Maryland and New Mexico. Anne and her husband moved to Mount Desert Island in 2011. She enhanced the archives, coordinated grants, conducted research, designed exhibits and contributed to publications at the Cranberry Island Historical Society as well as consulting with other area organizations. She was deeply pleased to learn that the Cranberry Island Historical Society has named its archive in her honor. Anne and Gerald relocated to Durango, Colo., in 2020, where her bright and outgoing personality won her a host of new friends, and where the landscape allowed her to hike, bike and cross-country ski to her heart’s content. Anne was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer at the end of January of this year. She died at her home in Durango. She is survived by her son Andrew, brothers Patrick Dowling and Bill Dowling, sister Margaret Wells and her husband, John, sister-in-law Barbara Meyers and numerous loving cousins. Her family and friends mourn her passing and miss her dearly. |

| Esther Rodick interviews Ruth Grindle who talks about her life in Southwest Harbor.

In 1921, he became the town Postmaster, but was dismissed in 1933 when FDR was elected-back then, the Postmaster was tied to the political party in power. Ruth talks about how she loved watching the JT Morris steamship come to town and seeing the workers running on and off with the freight. She remembers fires in town, and horse stable, and ice storage. Ruth met her husband at Echo Lake, where she went for recreation. She worked at the Dirigo Hotel and her husband worked as a boatbuilder. After recovering from Guillan-Barre syndrome, the two opened a store in the 1950s which sold a wide variety of things. Finally, she tells of how she finagled her way into meeting FDR when he visited Southwest Harbor. |

She tells stories from the Great Depression and eating "salmon loaf," as it was the only food available. |
