I think it is very valuable, one of the best sections on the PW
website and genuinely appreciate your volunteering to do the work.
I'll bet there are many times when folks refer back to it to jog
their memory on who just submitted that trip report, boat modification,
hypothermia data, other interests, flare-shot-in-the-bathtub, etc.  
The entries are fun to read and learn more about who we are.  Some
folks have to leave the list for a year or two for various reasons 
(mostly moving) and return.  I think the Who's Who section is 
like a "Welcome Home" banner.  Same for those intereseted in 
paddling that just discovered the PaddleWise community.  

Thanks for maintaining it for PaddleWise, Peter :-)  For those who
haven't yet discovered and checked out this gem, go to
