Figure 173. Poster:
Using Ruska Gregg's baskets
While
Ruska Gregg made many things as chief woodcraftsman on the
Gregg/Wallace farm, the basket in the hewn-timber cabins
exhibit is the only thing that Archie Waiters could
positively identify as made by Gregg. In this photo,
Gregg's standard-sized baskets are being used for
harvesting sweet potatoes. Waiters said that baskets used
for corn harvest were so large that it took two ment to
lift them. Left to right: Archie Waiters, James Waiters,
Ernest Egleton, Tom Waiters, and Ed Pinkney. (Photo on
