- W1580539975 abstract "W hen Marilyn Gosling was called, and aske.d if s~e would consent to an mtervIew as a subject of a Gatherings profile, she was willing, but commented that she didn't match the typical Friends' personality. She then asserted that she has led an uneventful life. I don't agree. can be the judge. Marilyn Anderson was born and raised in Ishpeming, Michigan, which she described as a friendly, cultured, happy place to grow up. The name is Chippewa for place, and the area was originally a mining community with a population of varied ethnic backgrounds including Polish, German, Cornish, Italian, Scandinavian, Welsh, and Finnish, which made it multicultural long before that was vogue. As something of a portent, while still a high school student, she worked in both the school and public libraries. When Marilyn completed high school, she was attracted first and spent her freshman year at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota. At the time, it seemed a likely location for a girl from a small community in the Upper Peninsula. However, the bustling capital city of Minnesota, even when focused within a small liberal arts school, didn't keep her attention and she transferred to The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and earned her B.A. with a double major in history and science / mathematics-a rather unusual combination. While attending Michigan, she also met David Gosling, and they were married in her senior year. After graduation, Marilyn and David settled on the Gosling homestead in White Pigeon where they raised two sons: Christopher, who is a successful chemical engineer, and Bruce, an equally successful accountant. When the two boys were old enough to have their days filled with school activities, Marilyn could no longer restrain her own ambitions and she headed north to Kalamazoo to pursue a career in librarianship. She obtained her Master of Science in Liorarianship from the accredited graduate program at Western Michigan University in 1966. That degree gave her immediate employment first in the Sturgis, Michigan, public schools, which she then followed with two years in the Sturgis Public Library. Ever enthusiastic and wanting more of a challenge, she was given a splendid opportunity when the position as director of the Glen Oaks Community College, in Centerville, was advertised. Her application was reviewed, she was interviewed, and offered the position which she held for the succeeding twenty-four years. During that period, she was instrumental in building a fledgling (and inadequate) college collection to a resource of considerable quality and diversity. Do the preceding experiences describe an uneventful life? Neither will what follows. Librarians, regardless of stereotypical images, have, by definition, wide-ranging, often eclectic interests. Marilyn is no exception. Art is one of her passions. Like many of us, she responds to the immediacy and the vibrant colors of the Impressionists, but she is also especially fond of the whimsy of Claes Oldenburg. She has been a Museum Associate of the Art Institute of Chicago for many years, and visits the museum and city frequently. As she says, You pop down to South Bend, catch the electric train, and you're in downtown Chicago in an hour. Not limited geographically to that fine cultural resource, she is equally at home in the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis which has an exceptional collection of contemporary art-and a large collection of Oldenburgs. She also takes a number of trips with the Kalamazoo Art League, and the Kalamazoo Institute of Art-thereby further enhancing her artistic exploration. No reader will be surprised to hear that Marilyn has also spread her net into the world of music. Here the lure of the modern has not captured her heart and she is most devoted to early classical music, notably Baroque, and especially the work of J.5. Bach. Any glance at the supporters of the area's major music organizations will find her name among the donors as, for example, the Society for Old Music and the Bach Festival Society associated with Kalamazoo College-and there are" @default.
