Verlen Kruger's passing was noted in another thread, but I thought he deserved his own.

An obituary :

What a man - he kept paddling up until the end. And to think how much he paddled in "only" half of his life. I dream of paddling down the Grand Canyon, he paddled up it...

His site:

Kruger Canoes is still in operation under new ownership.[/i]

Thank you for the links. 'Tis a sad day, but there are many, many boats he influenced (including part of the Wenonah line as I recall), not to mention Nealy's "homage" to him .
