Yesterday, 12-05-09, I attended the Minnesota Canoe Association's (MCA) 2009 Near North Symposium
I took a few photos of some of the speakers who attended the symposium. These photos are grainy as I needed to shoot with 6400 ISO.
Left to Right: Gary Hennes (MCA Membership Director), Zoe Kesselring, Rob Kesselring, Cliff Jacobson, Bear Paulson (Midwest Mountaineering), Randy Strobel and Fred "Jacques" Shermock. Fred actually didn't give his talk. Cliff was on a roll talking about how to "out-fox bears" and when Cliff's time was out Fred hollered from the audience to keep on going.
I agree, move everyday!!
Randy Strobel
Cliff, Gary and Bob O'Hara. Bob was there to give away one ticket to his Far North Symposium held in the spring. Bob has done many trips north of the 60.
Phil Cotton aka Uncle Phil. Phil is with The Wabakimi Project. I am a contributor to this project.

ReplyDeleteNice Pics, Chuck. Your posting is even faster than your paddle stroke! ....and, like a good newsman, you have all the names.
All wilderness paddlers and especially those who travel in Wabakimi must thank you for the coverage.
The Minnesota Canoe Association Directors certainly thank you.

Isn't it cool having a college prof who is techno-savvy and can keep us geezers smiling with instant photo posts like these? Way to go, Joe!
