| Frank and Stanley Rando | Wetland Riders |
On August 1, 1990, Robert Fritchey interviewed Frank and Stanley Rando in Bucktown, Louisiana, for an oral history documenting their experiences in local fishing industries. Frank Rando, a lifelong fisherman, began his career in 1936 after finishing grammar school. He worked alongside his father, nicknamed “Sheepshead Frank,” who was known for his innovative sheepshead fishing techniques using a pirogue and pole. Stanley Rando, younger than Frank, contributes insights into later industry practices and environmental changes. |
