Sandra Earle was interviewed by Anjuli Grantham in Bird Rock, Uyak Bay, Alaska, on 1 August, 2015 as part of the Kodiak Historical Society’s West Side Stories project. Sandra was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1945. She and her now-husband Dan moved from Baltimore to Alaska in 1969, where her older sister had already relocated. She recalls her experiences on her first job teaching at the Munsey Bear camp on Kodiak Island and her positive impressions of the self-sufficiency and helpfulness of local residents.
