This summer, neighbor friends were going to ride their motorcycles around Lake Superior. On a whim, I asked if they would be stopping in Nipigon, ONT and they said they would. I asked them to look for a souvenir carving of the PTTS figure kneeling in his canoe. They returned empty handed, but with an email address for a Ms. Kukko, the Nipigon Economic Development officer. She very linkly explained that they were out of stock on carvings, but they would get back to me. I hope to have an 18" long carving in my collection soon to go with canoe carvings from Central America. PTTS will be in the front row, however!<br /><br />-Dan<br /><br />OBHS_DNAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15677737229725650171noreply@blogger.com
