It Had To Be You:: A Florida Keys Story

It Had To Be You:: A Florida Keys Story

Jack and Katharine â€œKâ€ Wilkinson moved to an area of Key Largo in the 1930s that, at the turn of the century, had been a farming community known as Planter. The newlyweds squatted along the Atlantic coast in a make-shift tent and lived largely off of what the ocean could provideâ€”including furniture that would occasionally wash ashore. In an effort to record what â€œKâ€ remembered as the best years of her life, she reached out to the friends and family who had ventured down the â€œTallahassee Roadâ€ to visit. What is revealed through this collection of memoirs, letters, and old photographs is both a love story and a peek into what it was like to live on this island chain before there was running water, electricity, and mosquito control. First locally published in 1996, â€œIt Had To Be Youâ€ has been republished by the Florida Keys History & Discovery Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that operates Keys History & Discovery Center in Islamorada, Florida.
