There are people about whose accomplishments you hear a lot and whose pictures appear often in the news media.

And, then, there are those, who do a lot for their community and fellow men, about whom you hear very little, because they do not like to be in the limelight.

Anne-Liis Ise is one of the latter. Therefore, on her 75th birthday, I would like to tell you about her and her many contributions to the Estonian community in the United States, especially in Baltimore.

Anne-Liis was born in Tallinn, Estonia, on April 24th, 1939 to Ferdinand Sööt, an agronomist, and Anita Sööt (nee. Poldemann), a registered nurse.

She spent her first five years in Estonia.

Unbeknownst to her, she lived through the Soviet-Russian and German occupations of her homeland until the fall of 1944, when her family left Estonia for Germany to escape the approaching Soviet army.

They settled in a refugee camp near Augsburg, Germany.

In 1949, her family moved to Baltimore, Maryland, where she grew up in an active Estonian community, graduating from Eastern High School in 1958.

In the fall of the same year, she started her studies at the University of Maryland, graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Microbiology in 1963. At that time, she joined the Indla Academic Sorority.
