Two New Trustees

Two New Trustees at SHHS
Over the last several months two new trustees have joined the Historical Society's Board - one is a thespian and one is a writer, and neither can be accurately described by a single word.

Bonnie Grice, the "thespian", has many passions which include history and theater. She started her own theater company, "boots on the ground theater" in 2016 to bring history to life both on stage and in reenactments. You may have seen one of the latter last August when she dressed as a suffragette and walked Main Street celebrating the 100th anniversary of women's right to vote.

Bonnie is also a veteran radio broadcaster and DJ. A two-time Gracie Allen winner, Bonnie has made her mark at a variety of radios stations coast to coast. Most recently Bonnie has had two programs on Sag Harbor's own WLNG: "Rock On" on Saturdays, 3:00-6:00 pm, and "Brunch with Bonnie", Sundays 11:00 am - 1:00 pm.  We are excited to have Bonnie and all her energy join the Board.

Jim Marquardt is the "writer". He has worked for NYC communications firms and corporations as an advertising/promotion copywriter, publicity writer and magazine editor. For twenty-five years he was President of Marquardt & Roche, Inc., Advertising/Public Relations in Stamford, CT.

Jim "retired" to Sag Harbor over twenty years ago but keeps on writing - he's reviewed fiction for Dan's Papers, written fiction that has appear in the North Atlantic Review and the East Hampton Star, and has been a columnist for the Sag Harbor Express for more than ten years, writing about Sag Harbor's colorful history. His stories create an intimate picture of some of the events and people that formed the unique character of a town that has been called an "America Beauty". Many of these stories have been published in his book True Stories of Old Sag Harbor.
