<p>Thanks so much for your kind words. That means a lot. Mostly I do what I do just to tickle my own fancy, but I also do believe in honoring, celebrating and spreading the legacy of who we are and how we got here, and who those old nutballs were that paved the way. In high school the two subjects I had the least interest or respect for were english and history. Now look! I write history. And rebuild it. Who'd a thunk?</p>

<p>If you ever do get down this way, do swing by the shop--I'd love to show you around. Many of my craft no longer live with me (sniff!) but I still have a loft full and more on the way! I'm home most of the winter, floating most of the summer.</p> Brad, I have read about your…tag:woodenboatpeople.org,2010-12-17:1312281:Comment:411762010-12-17T14:19:22.932ZRick Newmanhttp://woodenboatpeople.org/profile/RickNewman
<p>Brad, I have read about your long term Involvement with the history of Grand Canyon Boating as well as your building of many replica's. I want to thank you for your hard work and efforts in building, documenting and preserving this history. When I was in high school, history was just a bunch of garbage about some things that happened well before my time.

<p>Brad, I have read about your long term Involvement with the history of Grand Canyon Boating as well as your building of many replica's. I want to thank you for your hard work and efforts in building, documenting and preserving this history. When I was in high school, history was just a bunch of garbage about some things that happened well before my time. As I have aged and matured I have realized that is much more and that without people like you and the preservation work that the societies you are involved with the ability for those that come after us to realize how important history can be and that is real and actual.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I would really enjoy seeing your shop, meeting you and checking out all the fine craft you have built.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Keep up the good work!</p>

<p>Yeah, there are plenty of photos and a very nice set of drawings to work from. In addition, there is the actual boat about 75 miles north of here. I visited it last week and took a slew of pictures of some of the detail work. There's some damned tricky joinery but it looks doable.…<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2472796215?profile=original" target="_self"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2472796215?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"></img></a></p>

A great opportunity to remake the Kolb film. Who is going to psoe at the Bridge of Sighs ? It will be great to see the replica on the water. Marc

<p>Are there any photos or drawings available of the original boats? Sounds like a great project!</p>
