I thought I was the only one “minded” by Danila Vassilieff. My mother worked at the Koornong school down the road. I read Mike Rubbo’s story of his time at Stonygrad along with a photo of his work in stone.

Danila Vassilieff, me and Jim. Warrandyte. C 1947

 

I remember the grinding stone, noise and Danila demanding a smoother finish. Circa 1947-48.
