In a January 2013 post, we updated volunteer restoration efforts
of the "Gas-Hopper" hydroplane race boat. A boat owned and
raced by our boatshop hero, the late Dave Norton. The restoration
activities remain an ongoing volunteer project.
Now from the boxes, dust, and years of storage, Grade 12 student,
Dana, brought out the trophies, plaques, pictures and other Dave Norton
memorabilia for clean up, polishing, and the odd minor repair. Her
volunteer project - complete the Dave Norton heritage display in our booth
located in the Beaumont Mill. Dana's volunteer hours are credited to the
high school community hours required (40) to graduate this June.
