| 13317 | Klotz - Avon Roberts Klotz (1914-1985) |
|
|
|
| A biography of Avon Klotz by his daughter Therese A. Marshall, October 18, 2016. My father, Avon Robert Klotz was born in East Lansing, Michigan. In World War 11 he was a Staff Sergeant in the Calvary of the United States Army. He was stationed in Washington DC, where he met my mother, Josephine Mary Kane who was born and raised in Bar Harbor, Maine. Mom's paternal ancestors (it is documented) lived in Maine since the late 1600s. She is descended from many of the early Maine families. Dad and Mom married in Washington DC and shortly afterwards moved back to Bar Harbor. Due to the war and shortages John D Rockefeller's Duck Brook Motor Bridge was not started until 1950. He donated the land and had influence on the bridge design but the Park Service paid for the bridge itself to my understanding. My father worked for Harold Mac Quinn Construction Company, which was one of two companies that partnered and were the low bidders on the bridge. Many of the bridge workers were from the Greatest Generation. My father was the construction supervisor. He broke his arm during the construction of the bridge. My brother and I have memory of being in the car when my father went to the Rockefeller mansion to pick up his paycheck and discuss the bridge progress with I do not know who. I have copies of construction photos that my father owned. Our family has always called it Dad's bridge, as I am sure other families do as well. Our routine on Sunday mornings was to go to Mass at Holy Redeemer Church and then drive to Dad's bridge and then up to the top of Cadillac Mountain to get a maple sugar pilgrim and look at the view of Frenchman's Bay. When we drove into Bar Harbor on Rt 3 in those days there was a clear view of the bridge to the right. My parents would always say, "Keep looking or you will miss it." We would chime, "We saw it." My father was born 10/4/1914 and died 12/17/1985, just a few weeks after the death of my mother who was born 4/7/1920 and died 12/2/1985. They are both buried in Holy Redeemer Cemetery at the base of Cadillac Mountain on Mount Desert Island. The bridge is beautiful pink granite and the largest bridge of it's kind east of the Mississippi. It is the largest bridge in Acadia National Park. Duck Brook Motor Bridge is very precious to me, my brother and two sisters. |

| 14849 | Long - Ralph H. Long, Jr. (1932-1992) aka Bud |
|
|
|
| Ralph "Bud" Long was born in Somesville at the Lying-in-Hospital on September 15, 1932 to Ralph Hamilton Long, Sr. and Idabelle Conley Worcester. His grandfather was Ben Conley Worcester a woodsman who took his first grandchild out into the woods at a very young age teaching him to be comfortable in that environment. During World War II, Bud’s father worked overseas with the Red Cross and Bud lived with his mother, brother, Ben and sisters, Molly and Mary Lou with their grandparents in Southwest Harbor. At a young age, Bud became fascinated with birds – he joined a birding group probably as the youngest member. When in 7th grade, his mother would drop him off at the Wonderland Trail with his binoculars, field guide and his lunch and pick him up in time for dinner. When he was in high school, Hal H. Harrison visited the island to film birds and when he asked the park “who was the best birder on the island?” they suggested he contact Bud. He developed a reputation as the expert in that field. Upon graduation from Pemetic High School in Southwest Harbor, he earned a scholarship to Cornell University where he majored in Ornithology and Biology. Upon graduation, he accepted a job in Duxbury, Massachusetts teaching Biology where he met his future wife, Patricia Redlon. They often returned to Mount Desert Island as they raised their four children: Wendy, Caryn, Tanya and Garrett. While he was teaching at Dean Junior College, his grandfather offered him land on the Cape Road in Tremont where they summered so he was able to continue his love of birding. At some point Hal taught him the art of locating bird nests and photographing the birds. When the opportunity to return permanently to the island, he accepted the job at Mt. Desert High School while they lived in Southwest Harbor raising their young family. James Bond became aware of Bud at some point and they began a friendship that lasted for many years. When James Bond made the decision to end publishing The Native Birds of Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park, he asked Bud to continue to publish the pamphlet which he did. He dedicated the first edition to his wife, Patricia. For a number of years the family had run the Downeast Clam Bake at his uncle’s Smuggler’s Den Campground in the evenings in the summer months. Patricia died in 1982 of lung cancer when Garrett was a senior at the high school. In 1983, he married Alice MacDonald Potter who was the widow of the President of the Downeast Audubon Chapter. Bud continued to hunt for proof of a bird nesting on the island and photographing those nests. The second edition of Native Birds of Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park was completed in 1987 and dedicated to his two mentors, Hal H. Harrison and James Bond. Bud often mentioned how scarce some species of birds were becoming probably due to loss of habitat and how some southern species were showing up on the island. He was an expert who knew the bird calls and what habitat different species needed to raise their young. He died of colon cancer January 7, 1992. Both Hal and James Bond have died since then ending their years together sharing their love of birds. |
