Editor’s Note: I was thrilled to receive this e-mail from Bob Cottrell inasmuch as my (late) uncle, Hendrik Dolleman, was a dog sled driver and trainer who accompanied Admiral Byrd to the Antarctica on two of his expeditions!

Traditional Arts Apprenticeship grants help to preserve our living
heritage for future generations by providing support for a master
traditional artist to teach an experienced apprentice in one-to-one
sessions.

Funding for Traditional Arts Apprenticeship grants is made possible
through appropriations from the New Hampshire State Legislature and
the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. To learn more
