Jack and Katharine “K” 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 provide—including furniture that would occasionally wash ashore. In an effort to record what “K” remembered as the best years of her life, she reached out to the friends and family who had ventured down the “Tallahassee Road” 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, “It Had To Be You” has been republished by the Florida Keys History & Discovery Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that operates Keys History & Discovery Center in Islamorada, Florida.

Twenty-one years ago, David Pearlman chose a new name for himself: Poppa Neutrino. Mr. Neutrino is nomadic. A year ago, Neutrino and his dog left Key West for California with a crudely made raft that he’d built from plywood. The raft was twelve feet long and four feet wide, and it had a small cabin. It looked like a tree house. Neutrino planned to sail across the Pacific by himself, something that had been accomplished on a raft only once, by his hero, William Willis, in 1964.In the captivating story that served as the basis of his critically acclaimed book, The Happiest Man in the World, Alec Wilkinson introduces readers to David Pearlman, AKA Poppa Neutrino, a restless wanderer, eccentric, mariner, and musician, whose path once crossed with Kerouac and Ginsberg at the height of the beat era, as he attempts to cross the Pacific Ocean on a homemade raft.The Crossing was originally published in The New Yorker, June 27, 2005. Cover design by Adil Dara.
