WELCOME Darren Bush Owner Welcome to Canoecopia A personal greeting from Rutabaga ? s Chief Paddling Evangelist DEAR friends and friends I don ? t know yet Brent ?nished his doctoral dissertation last summer After he submitted it to the department head he told me that he had included me in the acknowledgements section I asked him why he would do that since I had no interactions with him in an academic setting It wasn ? t that he told me It was that I took him paddling Brent told me that taking him paddling fed his spirit during particularly discouraging times and anyone who has been a graduate student knows it can be a soul-crushing slog through endless hoops revisions and re- revisions He made it and I ? m proud of him I didn ? t take Brent on two-week trips to the Canadian Shield Our trips were overnighters on the Lower Wisconsin usually about hours afternoon to afternoon but it ? s amazing what hours on the river can do We might have paddled eight or nine such overnighters over the same number of years Taking him along was not a big deal and it certainly wasn ? t any extra work on my part Brent is a quiet soul not prone to speaking unless he has something to say brought good guacamole and sometimes Spam He was praised for the ?rst and forgiven for the second I have taken dozens and dozens of people paddling in the last decade but the trips that stand out were the overnighters with a handful of thoughtful friends Paddling and outdoor activities bring people together in a way that no other activity can My friendship with Brent was certainly enriched by our time paddling together For this reason I would ask of you to do both yourself and myself a favor take a friend paddling Heck take an acquaintance paddling they might become a friend and who doesn ? t need more friends You will certainly change their day you might change their life And that ? s why we do what we do To change lives Gratefully Support our Charities The Josh Kestelman Scholarship Fund helps Rutabaga partner with local community centers to get kids out on the water Second Harvest Foodbank is dedicated to ending hunger through community partnerships Donate a food item for a free gift from Rutabaga Read more at canoecopia com THANK YOU Canoecopia could not be put on without incredible amounts of seen and unseen work by the Rutabaga Core Sta ?
