I had an emergency appendicitis on the island this summer. Eva was critical in me getting off the island in difficult conditions with the information in hand that would help those on shore help me. My appendix had actually started to bust when I arrived at the hospital, a bad situation to be sure but it could have been immeasurably worse without her help.

A small remote island like Matinicus is no joke. Without Eva and those like her these places wouldn’t work. To me Eva is what a hero looks like.
