I got a message today that Norm Sims, co-author with Mark Neuzil of the beautiful book "Canoes - A Natural History in North America" had passed away from cancer. Back in my stripper building days, Norm was my boat building partner and we built them in his garage. A good friend for almost half a century and a man who was passionate about wooden canoes, he will be missed. So long buddy.
