Today, David’s father, Bob, passed away. We sit here in silence thinking of him–his laughter, his love, discussions of international affairs, and the countless days of wilderness canoe trips we had the pleasure of spending with him. We’ll write more, a better tribute to everything about Dad. But today a couple pictures. A young Bob on a canoe trip with his father observing the logging at Curtain Falls (Ontario, Canada in the wilderness that is now the Quetico Provincial Park) in 1943. A much more mature Bob, in 2001, on his last long wilderness trip–paddling with a young friend, Nina, and supervising David in the camp-kitchen cooking breakfast.
