Eva is one of the “fewer than 100” year-round residents of the island of Matinicus, more formally known as “Matinicus Isle Plantation.” Originally a teacher by trade, Eva moved to the island to teach in the one-room schoolhouse there, and never really left. Her children are now in school off-island, leaving her more time to write for Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors magazine and web site. She’s also the deputy town clerk, the treasurer, the assistant to the assessors, and an EMT, and she runs the island’s solid waste and recycling programs (which she started). Eva operates a bakery (we hear that her donuts are amazing) too. Oh, and did we mention that she’s a notary public too? We have no idea how she fits it all in.
