In 1997, I believe, the Annapolis Valley Macdonald Museum in Middleton celebrated the cratsmanship of Harold Gates with a display on the Gates Canoe. I thought this picture should enter the blog and pay tribute to an outstanding Nova Scotia craftsman who was also the father of one william Harold Gates, our Bill Gates. Coincidence: this weekend there is a canoe regatta at Kedji. Do you suppose there will be some Gates Canoes there ? The picture of Harold Gates is from Older Ways: Traditional Nova Scotia Craftsmen by Peter Barss.
