Ann's Amazing Archery

An interesting person I have been reading up on here within the past few years is Ann Marston, whose talents lay in Archery. Born in England in August 1938, she competed in Archery at a young age, as evidenced here with her father in 1948.. She won numerous junior and senior level competitions throughout her life. She and her she and her parents moved to the United States in 1949, residing in suburban Wyandotte, Michigan where she competed in archery and beauty contests. She won Miss Michigan in 1959, as well as the talent contest of the Miss America Pageant in 1960 with her Archery talents. She appeared on numerous television shows, even meeting the Beatles at one time.  Ann was a musical promoter later in life, managing a young MC5 and running a teen nightclub in the downriver Detroit area. She was also affiliated with the Gail and Rice talent agency. She suffered from diabetes since she was a child, becoming blind due to Diabetic Retinopathy at the age of 30. She died in March 1971 at the age of 32. She entered the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame in 1977.
