Okefenokee Joe

Description

OKEFENOKEE JOE

It's Thursday morning, and Okefenokee Joe is loading up his snakes. A bearded hulking figure clad in blue jeans and boots and sporting a backwoods accent and an easy laugh, Joe exhibits a strength and grace that belie his years as he stacks his guitar and boxes of snakes into the back of his '98 Chevy Tahoe.

From the beginning of the school year each fall till the start of summer vacation, he visits hundreds of schools across the Southeast to talk about nature. However, unlike many lecturers whose message is forgotten before lunch he leaves a lasting impression.

Standing in front of a gym full of elementary students, he looks to be the size of a small mountain. He smiles a mischievous grin children find contagious and speaks in a voice that sounds like distant thunder on a warm spring night. It doesn't scare you but it gets your attention. He plays guitar and sings, "Swampwise," a song accented by a laugh both friendly and wise. Then when you've just about forgotten them, he gets the snakes out.
