My students are researching the way nets were made here long ago. I had found a piece of one in an abandoned shed and asked if I could have it since the building was going to be torn down. My request was granted, however with a look of awe that I'd be interested in an old net that was "older than I am" I found this article and am delighted. I believe that Albee also wrote a book, Kanguk, about life here as told to him by an elder who illustrated it. What a wonderful piece of information you have given the world!!
