This summer, Teacher of History Ann Johnson was interviewed in the Westerly Sun, a newspaper based in Westerly, Rhode Island, for its column “In the Easy Chair,” a series of wide-ranging interviews with influential members of their community. Johnson, who is the president of Rhode Island’s Watch Hill Lighthouse Keepers Association, spoke about her work maintaining this historic lighthouse, including overseeing its restoration after superstorm Sandy; and about a myriad of her interests and influences, including the educators who sparked her interest in history.
