So, this sent us to our computer to learn more about migration of the American robin. Are they arriving this early? It's the dead of winter, temps hovering around zero. Any robin in this territory would have trouble pulling a worm from the ground.

Concrete canoe advisor, sports timekeeper, educator, and more....that's Bob Ward.

How did you get involved with concrete canoe competition?
An engineering society holds a competition each year. I have supported the concrete canoe team and have gone to most of our competitions since I came here. It has been wonderful seeing the team improve each year and has made it to the nationals several times in the past few years.
