AN ENDURING CONNECTION
Relocation of flood-prone homes on this islandbegan in the 1970's. One by one houses disappearedand everyday life in the old Fourth Ward wasrecastas memory. Seasoned by beloved tales of neighbors,impromptu celebrations over successful days on theriver and in the woods, of how adversity providedopportunity for recreation, memories meld intolegend. Ultimately it is a story that celebrates acommunity of friends and family whose roots onthis island are older than statehood, of theirunfathomable connection to the river, and their joyin life itself.
