Description

Odell Wolfe remembers the three years he lived in Fontana Village while he was a student and his dad worked on the Fontana Dam project, and how it differed from other dam projects that his father had worked on in that everyone lived very close to each other rather than renting a home in the surrounding area, as they did on other projects. He also talks about the changes he noticed in the Village after the dam contstruction was over and coming to the Dam Kids reunions years later.
