Senator Edison Key, Henry's father, gave his version: "When we were clearing the land for the farm project in the early 1970's, we found carcasses and bones all over.

"We were starting a cattle ranching effort. The Bahamas could have been self-sufficient in beef production. We put about 400 acres into deep-rooted grasses, high protein legumes that could get to the water. We built a corral, drove posts, strung fences and then imported 200 head of steer from the Dominican republic."

(Ed.Note: The cattle raising effort ended when Owens-Illinois left.)
