March Meeting Guest Speaker: Wes Roepke, CABBS
A Love Affair in Wood
Love is blind. But to say it better, love is blinding. We know not how an invisible arrow from say the sight of auburn hair in the setting sun, or the curve of a fender, or the smell of a leather saddle, pierces us and we no longer see the sense of what we are doing. For Wes Roepke in 1975, the love arrow came as a companionway mahogany louvered door. More
George Miller Wins Freeman-Turner Award
CABBS members who worked this year's boat show voted George Miller the 2012 recipient of the Freeman-Turner award. The award is given to the boatbuilder whose boat on display in the CABBS booth best represented the ideals of the organization. George's boat, a seven foot mini-skiff built from one sheet of plywood, shows how easy it is to make a child's rowing boat for pool or sheltered waters.
Accepting the award in a state of disbelief, George paid tribute to the other boats. Ric Altfather in presenting the award, recognized George not only for the kid's boat, but for his many years of service to the organization.
