Robb White, 1941-2006

I'm sorry to report that Robb White died yesterday of complications during surgery. Robb was a frequent contributor to WoodenBoat, and a friend. His straight-ahead thinking on boats and life and the natural world were like a breath of fresh air in the modern, off-the-shelf world. We'll miss him dearly. You can read his death notice at his web site, and also read some of his writing there.

Being from south Alabama, it was good to know that one of those thinking wooden boat builders was relatively close to me. Down here, I only hear of wooden boat builders from the northwest or northeast. I would like to hear of more wooden boat builders from the deep South. It is my sincere hope that Robb's mantle is picked up and this tradition is continued in our area.
