Alfred Finucane is my grandfather and was delighted to see this. He was crippled in the war and became a basket maker to give purpose to his life. I have many memories of playing with bits of cane in his workshop, which was the spare bedroom. He made lots of baskets for the PDC, in Palmerston North. I still have various things he made.
