Afternoon List,

We have a local resident who owns a Samoan rug that was given to her father during the war.  He was teaching some of the natives the basic of electricity and they gave it to him as a gift sometime between 1941-1945.  It is apparently made of tree fibers and dyed with the leaves from the local trees.  The donor is looking for a permanent home for the rug in a museum that would be able to preserve and use it.  Her name is Elizabeth Tooley and she can be reached at 704-864-0656 or [log in to unmask]  

Thanks!
