Two weeks ago, Eileen Kramer and her husband James each received termination letters in their email inboxes.
“They were saying we were underperforming, which isn’t true,” Eileen said.
The couple, who live and work in the sprawling 4-million-acre Lake Clark National Park in Alaska, may soon have to vacate the house they’re living in because it is owned by the Park Service.
“It’s more than just losing our job,” James said. “We’re losing our life.”
“We’ve given so much to this place and we’ve created a life here,” explained Eileen, “and that’s being taken away dishonestly.”
