As for my "mystery" photo, yes it looks like it could be yet another Knights of Pythias symbol. But he also has the anchor on his tombstone .... so I guess he was sailor who was a member of the Knights of Pythias ...?? ~DEB~ --- On Wed, 2/18/09, Elaine <McStumped@suddenlink.net> wrote: From: Elaine <McStumped@suddenlink.net> Subject: Re: [TXGEN] Mystery Photo To: txgen@rootsweb.com Date: Wednesday, February 18, 2009, 9:45 PM I still say they are striping thin slices of wood to make cane and/or spinning rush for chair backs & bottoms.  The cane/rush weavers are probably working in the back behind the big tarp. I wove rush/cane chairs for over 25 years almost on a daily basis and it sure looks like that is what they are doing to me.
