ⓘ About Annie Proulx

Annie Proulx is an American journalist and author born in 1935. +Biography Annie was born in Norwich, Connecticut, and named after one of her mother’s aunts. Annie has quite the dated ancestry, with her forebears having come a little over a decade after the Mayflower. That was back in the early 1630s. Annie met her first Husband H. Ridgely Bullock during her short stint at Colby College in the 1950s. This was after making it through Deering High School in Portland. While Colby College didn’t exactly work out, Annie was granted another opportunity to pursue her studies in 1966 when she attended the University of Vermont, graduating with a degree in history.
