<title>The lure of model boat building</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20681/20121017/the-lure-of-model-boat-building</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 17, 2012) TAUNY celebrates the 20th anniversary of its Salute to North Country Legends on Sunday at SUNY Canton.  One of the North Country Heritage award recipients, is Canton model wooden boat builder Frank White. Now 94 years old, White grew up on a farm near Pyrites, in St. Lawrence County,  hearing stories of logging camps and river drives from his French-Canadian grandfathers.  He&apos;s been hiking, fishing, and paddling canoes around the North Country since the 1930&apos;s.  His passion for canoes has taken him on solo trips on major rivers across North America.  White was one of the founders of the annual Rushton Canoe Races in Canton.  His wife of 65 years, Beulah, passed away last December.   As Frank says, they spent most of their marriage outdoors paddling local lakes and streams.After retiring from a career as a florist in 1984, he took up model making, starting with kits of famous vessels like the Halfmoon, and the USS Constitution.   He&apos;s taken top honors at international model boat building contests and his models are on display at SUNY Canton, St. Lawrence University and museums around the country.    Todd Moe has more.
