This is 99% invisible. I'm Roman Mars.

In the heart of the Caribbean, there is a tiny little island called Anguilla,

and I mean tiny.

At its widest point, it's only about 16 miles across.

But while it's small, its white sandy beaches and crystal blue waters have made it one of the

most desirable tourist destinations in the Caribbean.

It's got all-inclusive resorts and you can swim with dolphins. The island is like the ideal place to film an episode of The Bachelor.

In fact, tonight on The Bachelor.

They did.

Season 15, week 7. Week 7. The whole Caribbean Island, Anguilla.

But back in the 1960s, Anguilla didn't have any of the beachside villas or luxury spas or golf courses that it has today.

It had dirt roads, no electricity, one stoplight in the middle of town.

That's Emily Oberman.

She used to visit the island on family vacations as a kid.

When you wanted to get a message to someone,

you pinned it to this very specific mahogany tree in the center of town in the valley.

Emily's parents were successful graphic designers from New York City and they like to travel

off the beaten path. This was incredibly

incredibly gregarious and charming and smart and quick-witted and a total wise ass and he always was ready to take

someone in his arms and dance with them. You can tell Emily loves her dad a lot. Both her parents really. She is an extremely

successful graphic designer in her own right, but she gives her parents the credit.

Appa friggin lutely. I am a graphic designer because of my parents.
