Dongola Man Keeps Cypress Knees As Quirky Hobby
Clyde Graham of Dongola collects over 100 cypress knees from Ohio River bottoms viewing each piece as a figurine with special meaning. He bores them clean, seasons and varnishes, then displays them beside his violin work and musical performances. The Grahams live on a farm east of Dongola with Mrs. Graham a retired school teacher.
