General Note
Accompanying note: "Valley A. Hill learned to make fish castnets when he was a teenager. He and his father fished for a living on the gulf coast of Florida. His father taught him the skill of netting. At 85 years old, Mr. Hill still weaves his nets as a pastime and is currently teaching his son the technique."
