Hello,

This is the second in our series of informal messages to the world. Several community members have asked, "How many trustees do you have? What else do they do?

 

Well, there are twenty-six currently serving.  They are teachers, real estate agents, novelists, contractors, philanthropists, biographers, accountants, estate managers, retirees, homemakers, clergymen, historians, art historians, scientists, retired professional football players, professors of the classics, film makers, scholars of the Middle East, and retired diplomats.

 

“How many have published books?” a young patron asked. 

I checked it out.  Ten current trustees are published authors:

Dorothy Clunan,

Martha Dudman,

Frances FitzGerald,

Heather Frazer,

Gunnar Hansen,

Elisabeth Kehoe,

Moorhead Kennedy,

Suzanne McCullagh,

Harry Neilson, III,

John Wilmerding.

 

Our twenty-six trustees represent the whole community in the town of Mount Desert and offer a perspective of diversity. They have in common the commitment to supplying an uncommonly good library for the Town of Mount Desert. 

 

Bob Pyle
