Spill Responder: Begin a 3rd generation fishermen from Bucktown La, At 11 years old I started shrimping, I left home at 16 years old, and started working on the river, I had the Love of the water and the want to Run a bigger boat. Then 2 years after that I received a higher paying job to work on the water and do Oil spill cleanup, so fresh off the river as a deckhand making $35.oo a day. got a higher paying job for $8.00 making absorbent boom for the Exxon Valdez oil spill.At that time it was the biggest oil spill in history.We worked day and night making absorbent boom and pads to send to Alaska...As time went on the company started asking if anyone wanted to go on the Spill, I said I will.. Man, it was pretty flying over the blue water glaciers in a 4 seated sea plane, but being so young it was also scary for me to be alone...We slept on fishing boats in small coves; I will never forget the name of the boat, which I slept on it, was called The Allusion Dragon. One day I remember when,I called home. I learned that I was to have my first kid daughter at 18 over the ship shore radio . We all worked for 12 hrs a day working on boom deployment skimming along with steam cleaning the rocks.
