Be inspired by Sarah
Out of respect for Rich and her family, I hit pause before posting an announcement about the recent passing of Sarah Ruhlen. There are so many wonderful tributes on Facebook that my own words are inadequate by comparison. I encourage you to read about Sarah’s wonderful spirit and unwaivering commitment to the paddling community. And I’d also challenge you to be inspired by Sarah — offer friendship, encouragement and mentorship, and spread joy as often and as far reaching as possible in Sarah’s honor.
Beautiful words Dana. Just inconceivable she’s gone. Yes – we can all honor her by trying to give just a little bit like she always did with all her being.

Thank you Dana for this tribute to Sarah. She has been an inspiration to many. Next year at WOR, there will be a void at the morning meetings when I look around and she’s not there to brighten our time with her presence.
