Occupation
In 1964, Sol Gilis of Yarmouth designed the Yarmouth tartan with the state of Maine in mind. Light blue for the sky, dark blue for the water, green for the forest, and a red bloodline for the people of Maine. It was registered with the Scottish Register of Tartans as the 'Original State of Maine Tartan' on 1/1/1965. See: http://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/tartanDetails.aspx?ref=2788 On September 26th 2009 the tartan will be re-introduced, woven anew by Elena Arnett of Yarmouth Novo Scotia.
Note
Sol managed to obtain a visa to visit England in order to learn how to operate new textile machines, he left Lithuania just as Germany was ready to invade the country, his plan was to bring the rest of the family to England, but this was not to be.
