It is exactly ten years ago today when RBP regular Scott Bristow died at
Great Falls of the Potomac. Although it is said that time heals all
wounds, Scott's loss is still felt today.

For those who did not know him: http://kayaker.nl/scott.html

The positive side of this sad event was that it brought many RBP'ers
closer together, in an online boating community that was unlike any I've
ever witnessed since. I'm grateful to have been a part of that community.

Hey WIlko,

And others I too was thinking of Scott this last couple weeks. 10
years is a long time and a lot of water under a lot of bridges. And a
lot of boating done ----

10 years is long time to be gone and alot of life to miss....

I am planning to hike down to the Observation Deck at Great Falls
today. Its fairly cold here in Maryland today but crystal clear... The
level is about the same - I don't know if there will be any Falls
boaters out but there will be Herons...

I am sitting here at my computer, as I always do on the anniversary of
Scott's death, "googling" his name to just remember. Wilko, it is so
nice that someone remembers him. Thank you. This seems to be a
particularly difficult year for me. Our parents are getting divorced
- though it is really a good thing, I wish he were here as our family
is going through all this craziness.

Sheila, if you take a camera, will you take a picture there and email
it to me?

Sherri, because only a few of us post here any more, you might get the
wrong impression. There are a lot more people who remember him, but most
of them aren't that vocal about it. Phil Urban on Boatertalk wrote a
message about Scott guiding him down Section IV of the Chattooga, after
them meeting here on RBP. He helped out people and made friends
everywhere. Who knows how many of those ever were on RBP or BT?

As for your parents getting divorced, I hope that it all turns out
better than things are now.
Wishing you a lot of strength to deal with it!
