Ralph P. Earle set up his practice on Vinalhaven, Maine, in Penobscot Bay in 1937, and except for his service during World War II, spent his career attending to the medical needs of the local people and the summer residents. He founded the Island Community Medical Service, conducted a ground-breaking diabetes study, and remains larger than life in the memories of the people he served and needled.
