Heart Attack Claims Longtime Member Gus Anderson


Gus Anderson—longtime CCA member, club chair for three years in the '90s, and leader of countless paddling trips—died May 21. He had a cardiac arrest a week earlier and rallied for a few days but then succumbed. He had weathered illnesses over many years with determination not to allow them to keep him off the river.


Information about any service or memorial will be forthcoming by broadcast email. A full tribute will be in the next Cruiser (July-August).
