That is the correct information for this canoe. I can't tell if it is addressed to Mr or Mrs, but family lore is that my grandfather, Mr H.C Bates gave it to my grandmother as a gift. That was their cottage, where the canoe was always stored in the garage. Very interesting that it was purchased in 1933, as the hurricane of 1938 almost took the cottage (many nearby were destroyed), but apparently the garage and it's contents must have survived intact.
I was definitely planning to join the WCHA and make a donation regardless of the outcome of this request, but I am sure everyone will be thrilled to have this additional background information
Thanks so much,
Robert
