Sadly, my father passed away a few short weeks ago, before we were able to learn more about his Howe Canoes history. Although Dad's voyage in this world may have ended, the Howe Canoe's story is not over. Steve Ambrose was very gracious to have taken her to The Assembly Meeting in July, and our family is forever grateful for that. It meant more to my father than anyone could understand. To cast his rod from that canoe, experience the beauty of a stream while gliding in her, and truly grasp the uniqueness of a finely built canoe can only be understood by a select few. I am indebted to you Steve, and the moment will be forever with me.
