Matthew Barr interviewed Kim Midgett for the Wild Caught Oral History Project in Sneads Ferry, North Carolina. Kim Midgett, a lifelong resident of Sneads Ferry, has deep roots in the fishing community. Kim describes her childhood in Sneads Ferry, highlighting the sense of security and community that characterized her upbringing. Kim shares that she has known her husband, Johnny Wayne Midgett, since childhood, and they married when she was working in a local café. Kim discusses her family, including her three children. She describes each child's personality and interests, noting that Andrew is particularly keen on following in his father's footsteps in the fishing industry. Kim herself comes from a fishing family, although her grandfather was a plumber, and her father was a fisherman who tragically died at sea when she was five years old. The conversation touches on the dangerous nature of fishing, particularly the risks associated with channel netting, which Kim finds particularly worrisome due to the nighttime conditions. Despite the town's growth, Kim expresses her continued enjoyment of living in Sneads Ferry, appreciating the presence of her extended family and the community spirit that still persists. Kim elaborates on her role as a homemaker, detailing her daily routine of caring for her children, managing the household, and preparing meals. She speaks fondly of family gatherings, such as Christmas celebrations and frequent cookouts, where she enjoys cooking for her family and friends. Kim also describes her involvement in the family’s crabbing business, particularly her work in cleaning and preparing soft-shell crabs. The interview also covers the community's efforts to raise a monument for commercial fishermen who have lost their lives, driven by the New River Fishermen's Association, which includes Kim's uncle.
