Bonnie-Jean Brooks
Bonnie-Jean Brooks’ first Searsport High School essay turned into a prophecy guiding her professional and personal life even to this day as she nears retirement on Jan. 2, 2022, after nearly 43 years as OHI President and CEO.
“Do whatever I can to make life better for other less fortunate people in my beloved state of Maine,” she wrote as a young rural Mainer in the 1950s.
