Ralph, I think that column understates the amount of help that Ralph has been to a lot of us. Although I don't paddle a folding boat unless I'm out with a friend in his Klepper ( I use one of those toy fake kayaks known as SOT's), the advice you give in this mailing list and in your boat have been of tremendous help to me. THANKS!! Steve Holtzman >Joe Pylka wrote: > > Has anyone here looked at the upper right corner of page 19 of the August > '99 issue of Canoe & Kayak? Yes, I did! :-) I was alerted to the column by a friend and when I went to look at it was knocked over to see my name there in that context. I really don't know the columnist, Shelley Johnson. We talked on the phone once or twice in the early 1990s when she was doing articles for a tabloid sports giveaway east coast publication. We may have met briefly at a symposium in passing. So I was very surprised and delighted. Goes to show that you never know how you may be affecting others by what you do. ralph diaz - -- *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
