the University of Maine in 1941. She married her high school sweetheart,

World War II they settled in Camden. They had 2 children, Jonathan Peter and Meredith
Nancy, who served as a Representative in the 123rd and 124th Maine State
Legislature. Mrs. Strang also has 3 grandchildren. Public service is part of

great-grandfather Joshua B. Perkins served as a Representative in the 39th
Maine State Legislature in 1860 and again in the 59th Maine State Legislature
