Interviewer(s): J. Stone. Cut Off, LA

Affiliation: University of Arizona

Jean Landry set-up this interview with Mrs. Creel because she knew we were interested in people who had lived in the company camps on Grand Isle. Jean and I met at the D&D Restaurant in Larose and I followed her to Mrs. Creel's house, which is in Larose even though it has a Cut Off address. Jean participated in the interview, both asking and answering questions, and she added a lot of very interesting information.

Evelyn Creel was born in Paradis, Louisiana in 1924. She was the only child in her family to graduate high school, and she worked on the weekends at a restaurant. She moved to Exxon's Grand Isle camp when her husband was transferred there in 1948 and stayed until 1971, when she relocated to Larose.
