One proof sheet with 20 black and white images (plus negatives). Images of a three-person television crew from WCTV-TV (CBS affiliate in Tallahassee) who filmed an interview with Goodvine, at his Lake City home: 1334 Texas Street. Goodvine was a former turpentine workers, and worked with mules all his life. He learned to make whips in 1914 from his cousin. He sold them from $15 to $30. The Folk Arts in Schools Project in Columbia and Hamilton County was a joint venture between the county school systems and the Florida Folklife Program. The project consisted of field research to identify local traditions and folk artists, and in-school programs conducted by a folklorist and traditionalist, which included visits by local folk artists.
