ⓘ About Watt Key

With so few neighbors, Key and his siblings learned to entertain themselves and spent a lot of time trapping in the swamp, building tree forts, and fishing in the bay. The house he lived in had been built by his grandfather during the Second World War when he had been a ship engineer in Mobile. The house did not have many conveniences and it was not even insulated. He used to share a room with no air conditioning with his four brothers and during the winter they kept warm with gas space heaters. The house was full of sleeping bags and bunk beds, as they preferred the portability and efficiency of sleeping bags rather than blankets and sheets. Stories and books were a large part of entertainment for Watt Key when he was growing up.
