Susie Lawrence has been a seasonal resident for almost 20 years happily on the shores of Calderwood Neck with her family. She has made the trip from New York City, Beijing and now from Chestnut Hill outside of Boston. In those places she worked with elementary school children either as a teacher or as a volunteer at the board level. On Vinalhaven she lives next to the Eleanor L Campbell Preserve and across from Perry Creek. "Not a day goes by when I don't appreciate the preservation of those beautiful spaces".
