Abstract:
Parramore describes a way of life that lasted for over one hundred years on the Albemarle Sound and its tributaries, the use of great sweep-seines to harvest runs of shad, herring, and other fish. He discusses the work and skill of the workers who manned the seines, which could often stretch up to two miles.

Asserting his claim was a patient of his, Melissa Pierce, who gained the ability see because of a program Dr. Murrell proposed would provide the cure: Living and Learning in a Visual Environment (LIVE). Included were the four foci for the program that may prove the adage “seeing is believing” should be expressed as “believing is seeing.”

Abstract:
