Default Who was Donald Bean?

For part of my coach 3 assessment I need to find out who Donald Bean
was. Can anyone help?


I knew Don Bean fairly well as we both belonged to Stafford Canoe &
Watersports Club. Don passed away about 2 years ago in his 80s. He was
still an active paddler and had recently been to Nepal again. Don had no
family AFAIK and had been the County Treasurer for Staffordshire until
he retired. He helped many local groups by providing them with boats and
other canoeing gear. Locally we still see boats with DB stickers on the
bows (using licence plate letters). As far as I could tell Don lived for
canoeing. Sadly missed.
