The Voice of Nettie Mudd

[Laurie Verge]

About fifteen years ago, the Lincoln Group of D.C. had a speaker from the National Park Service at Ft. Jefferson speak on the history of the site and also about the isolation of living there even today. She had wonderful slides of the scenery - outstanding ones of sunsets and sunrises! She even brought with her samples of flora and fauna from the island. However, as lovely as it seemed, I would not want to be incarcerated there then or assigned there now. I think the isolation would do me in - even with the tourists traipsing around.
