Here's an 8 x 10 press photo of Ronald & Nancy Reagan paddling on a pond dated to July 27, 1976.
Seems like Reagan was part of the ranks of paddling Presidents which included Calvin Coolidge's hilariously named canoe "Beaver Dick" and the stately birchbark canoe of FD Roosevelt built by Tomah Joseph
Great photo of Ron and Nancy....in an aluminum canoe named "TRULUV" at that....great post....I wrote a similar post sometime back, Thursday Thoughts: Paddling And Politics Do Mix Sometimes, http://reflectionsoutdoors.wordpress.com/2010/12/02/thursday-thoughts-paddling-and-politics-do-mix-sometimes/.
I'm an avid canoeist and general "outdoorsy type" guy with a bit of an artistic side. Started this hobby of making custom canoe paddles after my disappointing experience with most commercial brands. This site documents various styles of single blade canoe paddles I've made or researched as well as other canoe related info I've stumbled across on my internet wanderings. Kindly note that this site is a non-commercial enterprise and no paddles are for sale. Information provided is for educational use and purposes only. Hope you enjoy your visit.
