Campfire Lost and Found
I know your office is not the lost and found de- partment of the canoe business—but I am lost! At one time I owned a Grumman aluminum canoe. Does the company that manufactured this product still exist? If so, can you provide me their address?
TED CLARK Banff, Alberta
Grumman aluminum canoes are still manu- factured under the company name, Marathon Boat Group. PO Box 549, One Grumman Way, Marathon, NY 13803, (607) 849-3211. —Ed.
C A M P S I G H T S Canadian Canoe Symposium
I needed to voice my intense displeasure with the fact that I can’t attend your Canadian Ca- noe Symposium this year, and by way of that, I wanted to extend another thanks and job well done to all of you at Rapid Media who put the symposium together. I imagine that pad- dlers’ proclivity for being easy-going can be a double-edged sword when it comes to getting things organized. Seeing Scott MacGregor (Ca- noeroots publisher) and other organizers out there with their families enjoying themselves right alongside everyone else really made the event something great—a real coming togeth- er of a unique community.

This is Inspiring
I just received my digital issue and had a peek at the video Dougie Down the Pet (trailer from the DVD This is Canoeing) in the videos sec- tion online. I just wanted to comment that it was a really nice piece and that I too am looking forward to showing my son all the great places that I have travelled and played around Ontario.

I found Stephanie Park’s article (“My Love-Hate Relationship with Portaging,” Spring 2010,
www.canoerootsmag.com/canoerootsmag_ spring10) very interesting and well written. I think the Canadian education system must be far superior to the English. I find the speech and writing here so sloppy, even on the BBC and in good newspapers. The commercial tele- vision channels seem to delight in irritating me by using Liverpuddling accents. LYNDA SHEPPARD Northampton, U.K.
I read Canoeroots cover to cover each month. The portage around Niagara Falls article, “My Love-Hate Relation- ship with Portaging” was great . Steph- anie, you are doing a wonderful job already—the pictures and articles are always so great in Canoeroots. As long as you print a paper magazine I can hold, you’ll have me for life.
