Bob and Barb Powell and Donnie and Ameila Fedler on the Mississippi River. Bob Powell was a member of Cascade Boat Club, and he always had a Jon Boat. They spent a lot of the time on the river. Barbara Powell didn’t like to go out, and rarely did because she would get burnt and did not know how to swim. They were taking, at the time, their only grandparent on a boat ride. In the background, Bob had made a steering wheel rig for his boat because he was a woodworker. Jon boats didn’t usually have them, you just held the motor. People would make fun of him because it looked like he was playing a piano as he boated down the river. The plaque says “Custom Piano Boaters Inc. by Shoe Box” with his initials down in the left corner. His nickname was Shoebox. When he was young, there was an older gentlemen also named Bob Powell who lived in Burlington who was quite wealthy, and he kept all of his money in one shoe box.
