If Maine Had A Queen: The Life of Brownie Schrumpf by Karen Tolstrup

Paperback

Brownie Schrumpf was a Maine instutution. She was born Mildred Greeley Brown in Readfield Depot, Maine, attended the University of Maine, served as a home economist and 4-H officer, wrote a column for the Bangor Daily News, and actively promoted Maine procucts at the "Big E" (Eastern States Exposition) every year for the Maine Department of Agriculture. Her friends included political leaders at the State and national level, clergymen, academics, her fellow home economists, neighbors, children, academics, and her readers, who felt as if they knew Brownie like a friend from reading her columns. Her life values remained those she learned on the farm: she was loyal, interested, and always willing to help. When she left the farm to live in the University town of Orono for the rest of her life, the farm went with her and she remained true to the values she learned there. This book looks back over her life and her work, her devoted marriage to Bill Schrumpf, and the numerous persons who were a part of her life -- and of whose lives she was a part. Illustrated, with an appendix of favorite recipes from Brownie's columns.
