Dr. Ringsmuth is a professor of history at the University of Alaska Anchorage and the author of five books for the National Park Services, including two on canneries. She also has a personal connection to the NN Cannery. Her dad, Gary Johnson, was the last of the Alaska Packers Association superintendents, and she labored as a cannery worker to pay for college.
