We don’t always know the impact our lives will have, either during our lifetimes or after. Often, we can be blind to how we touch our environment, other people's lives, or institutions in ways we cannot imagine. This presentation is about the gift of one woman who has impacted lives and one institution in numerous ways over a lifetime.

Her legacy of “a selfish pursuit” became one of the most prized artifacts at the Marilla Historical Society, still in use today, nearly 100 years after it was created.

Presenter: Douglas A. Glick

Douglas A. Glick, LMSW, is the current president of the Marilla Historical Society in Manistee County. The Marilla Museum & Pioneer Place are stellar examples of how a very small community of people can create a powerful and lasting legacy. His family has lived in Marilla Township since 1903, and he is thrilled to live in his grandparents’ farmhouse, which he lovingly restored as a legacy project. Vocationally, Douglas is a consultant and psychotherapist in private practice.
