Married 63 years- December 23, 1947
Known each other all their lives- born and raised on Island
At 17- went to work at fish market in Baton Rouge- came back before 18
Lot of land in Baton Rouge- not like the Island
Island changed over the years- lots of trees, people trapped

Levee in back of house helps, but it still floods
Grandmother had garden where it is water now- planted rice,
Horses, cattle, chickens
People moved since road getting bad- storms messed up houses
Try to stay as long as possible (died 2018)
Road repair start soon (2010)- completed (?)- road health will depend on weather
Early memories- walk in woods, climb trees
