     A tradition in Southern Maryland is the annual Wade In at Broome's Island on the Patuxent River.  Former State Senator Bernie Fowler began this rite a number of years ago.  Tom Wisner was an active supporter and participant in this project.  The purpose is to wade in the Patuxent River until you cannot see your feet; the further you can go in ensuing years is a measure of how well we are doing in cleaning up the river.  Awareness, you see, is the first step.

     Here's a two-part video recording the 1995 Wade In:
