He soundedpositive at the time, however he indicatedhe has a long way to go before he is ableto return to work. Bob did ask that Imake mention in this article of the generousdonation made to him by HaydenIsland Canvas. Prior to his accident Bobhad contracted with Hayden Island Canvasto replace the canvas on his boat.Upon learning of Bob’s situation, HaydenIsland Canvas called Bob and informedhim that they would complete the job atno additional cost.
