hi Peter O,

kathy and i have named 3 of our canoes/kayaks.

my solo canoe is named after a most sweet black cat, Lazzer-Ray, who came to
us after being tossed out because she was due. laz raised her kittens under
a neighbors shrub, then moved in with us when it got cold. the kittens died
early on that summer. laz was afraid of me for 2 years, but then adopted me
and we have been great friends for the past 10 years. the canoe's name is a
nick name for her, Lazy-Bear.

my kayak is named after one of the sweetest tabby cats you could ever hope
to meet. Lilly was extra soft, with a big white belly that she loved to have
patted. Lilly was a gentle cat, who live with Laz and us for about 8 yrs.
the kayak's name is Tigger, a nickname for Lilly.

kathy's boat is named, but not for a person.

our tandem canoe is yet to be named... it's special, but we haven't thought
of an appropriate name yet.

cu,
bliven
