Kirk has paddled on
Kirk Wipper, a truly great Canadian, died two days ago. He gathered hundreds of canoes at his Canadian Canoe Museum and was awarded the Order of Canada. I had the pleasure of spending some time with him on the final day of the 2008 David Thompson Brigade thanks to the efforts of Linda and Eric Williams.

This interview is beyond outstanding and provides a glimpse into the soul of the man. It was absolutely wonderful to spend time at Ft. William and paddling alongside Kurt and his wife at Grand Portage towards the end of the 2008 David Thompson Brigade. Thanks for sharing this and for the treasured memories.
