ABSTRACT

Glenda Dicker's travel companions of the road are a painter named Ana Bel, an Eel catcher named Rachel and the ghosts of Ibo Landing. They went to the Sea Island Golf Club/Retreat Plantation. He says that they have to go to Alphonsos, the Black-owned Cajun restaurant and views the Black part of the island. By the time they picks Ana Bel to dinner he already decided and told her brother that he wants to make a live oak drama about Ana Bel to perform at Spelman during the opening reception of her exhibit. Catcher hired a professional actor named Marguerite Hannah to portray Ana Bel and they went back down to the island to tape about four hours of interviews with the painter and gives Marguerite a chance to observe him. In Catcher's vision, the residents of Christian Avenue are one with the eelers and other workers who first came to Setauket not voluntarily and stayed to make history.
