 The Brad Fox family form Chaplin CT. drove up to Maine for a short vacation and to visit the shop.  Brad and his wife have been bitten by the wood canoe restoration bug and have started to accumulate a small fleet.  Their two kids came along but mostly for the chance to visit with Bean.  Unfortunately Bean spends the week ends with Peter, since its his dog and was not at the shop.  So here is a picture of Beans usual position in shop during the winter, laying on his blanket next to the stove!
