Not many details.  I just got off the phone with my wife, who read a short
obituary to me from this mornings paper.  Here's what I have....

This guy lived in Poquoson, VA - my home town of only 15,000 residents (but
boarders an area with 1/2 million)
Name - Garland Reese
Age - 49
Member of Colonial Canoeist Club
Was the clubs president for 3 years, and the Trip Master
Was an Expert Certified Instructor (not sure how that relates to the BCS
ratings, etc)
Died this past Friday in a kayaking accident in Richmond (no big lakes in
that area, but some WW, so I suspect he was WWing)

If I get a chance this morning, I'll go on-line and check the Richmond Times
to see if I can find an article.
