Rug Mystery

This lovely rug is the subject of a mystery.  It is based on a drawing done by a soldier named Oscar Rogers who was stationed at Fogo Island's radar station in Newfoundland during WWII.  He asked a local woman to create a hooked rug from his drawing.

The completed rug has had pride of place on the wall of Oscar's Minden, Ontario cottage for as long as the family remembers.

It is also thought that a second rug was created for another soldier stationed at Fogo Island - he was smitten by the design and asked the same woman to create one for him.

Oscar's son Norman travelled to Newfoundland this past summer, and tried to find out who hooked the rug, but hasn't yet been able to connect with anyone who might know.

Are you familiar with Fogo Island's hooked rug tradition?  Maybe you know who created the rug?  Or....maybe you know something about the second rug created for another soldier?
