The above photograph from our first 2009 OARS river trip, Celest and myself getting the very special honor of sharing the river and canyon with George's son, Clavey Wendt... along with all the other wonderful OARS boatmen and fellow guests.

Below is an e-mail from George Wendt, written to me after our 2009 Grand Canyon dory trip, George's positive comments still warm my photographic heart.

Hello Tom:

My son Clavey shared the link to your trip photos with me. THANKS! You have taken some amazing shots – producing the BEST photo slide show that I have ever seen from a passenger on one of our trips! Really! I have taken the liberty of pasting a bunch of them into an email (I will send a copy to you) to send to some people who I think will be able to benefit from the flavor of the trip that you have so beautifully captured. With your permission, we would like to take the links that you have included in your email and make reference to them on our blog site. Could that work for you?

Clavey tells me that you were the nicest guy on the trip! If there is anything that I can do for you, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

I hope that your hip operation goes well. And, best wishes for a great Thanksgiving!

Thanks again for the great photos,

George Wendt
