minorcan > The time was July, 1945 and my Great Uncle Carl Canova made me a Spanish cast net. Uncle Carl went blind around the age of 22-25 when he bent over to drink water from a fountain. Just before that, he had lifted a very heavy boat anchor to secure his boat. He use to deliver mail from Jax all the way to the Keys. When we would visit him he always had to feel and see how much I had grown. When I turned age 5 1/2 he said it was time for me to have a mullet net,,so he sewed one for me. In those days the twine was cotton,,then it went to linen, then nylon and now mono fishing line. He cooked for himself, could tell and point at the moon, could bang two clam shells together and navigate a boat by listening to the echo as well as count his money,,made cast nets for everyone and many other things, he was totally and legally blind. I took the net he made for me and practiced how to throw and open it up in the back yard . I got good at doing it right away and begged Daddy to take me mullet fishing. We went to St. Augustine Beach and on my first cast over a school of fish I loaded the net--see the picture.
This is possibly the gravestone of William James Wilson's wife, Marian Isadora (Russell) Wilson. Gravestone says: "W. J. Wilson, Mother, At Rest". The middle row looks like it might have said WIFE at one time but changed to MOTHER.
