In this newsletter issue, we discuss funding, tonnage for the Ouachita-Black, project updates, funding, and levels of service (which is garnering increased interest with many of our partners). We look also at the Statement to the Mississippi River Commission, a discussion of the events at H.K. Thatcher Lock and Dam, and an interesting piece for “Civil War” buffs focusing on events at Camden, Arkansas. Featured also in this publication is a section devoted to Mr. John Stringer who will retire this summer from the Tensas Basin Levee District. Mr. Stringer will also step down as ORVA’s Vice President. The Levee District and ORVA are closely related and share the same interests with the Project. Mr. Stringer is known throughout the Basin as the “face of ORVA”, and rightfully so.
