House of David today: Interviews with people there
Published July 10, 1996
Funny how a subject to which you first make a casual reference can lead you spiraling deeper and deeper. I had not intended any “series” on the House of David but am “hooked” into another column - maybe two - to complete a minimum of what I’ve learned from books and interviews. My main sources from here on are interviews with people who, in different ways, are still involved with the Israelite colony.
This phase of my interest started with Ramon Nelson, whose book “Island Toll; Island Toil” (his boyhood experiences on High Island) I quoted from last week. When I found his name in the telephone book and realized he would just be 84, I called for an interview.
“Where will you be tomorrow about 11:30?” he asked.
“At the Methodist Peace Temple, just finishing Bible School and about to have lunch,” I said.
