Sumario:I first met Steve in the summer of 1990. I was a student at University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) following a summer course in anthropology called Southeastern Indians. The course included several field trips, one of which was to the Schiele Museum where we visited the Catawba Village and listened to a presentation by Steve Watts. Whilst in the town house, Steve shot a blowgun dart over my head and I was hooked. Steve probably did this to hundreds of thousands of people over his 32 years at the Schiele Museum, but I was the only one who took blowguns to the next level. I know Steve was proud of me and I was always honored that years later he would buy all of his darts and blowguns from me. I was eventually asked to teach two blowgun workshops at the Schiele Museum, so as a student I became the teacher.
