Memorial Service Planned for Wednesday Night July 16
The Philadelphia Canoe Club will host a Memorial Service for
Dale Herrick on Wednesday July 16, 2008, from 7pm to 9:30pm.
The schedule is tentative, and more information will be released
as the event details are completed. Please check back - here

Dale Herrick, a long-time member of the Philadelphia Canoe Club and certified
ACA instructor, drowned Saturday in a boating accident on
the Schuylkill River near the PCC clubhouse.
Dale
had launched from the club and was alone, practicing a C-1
roll in her kayak. Dale was not in or teaching a class at
the time, and the incident was not witnessed. Instructors
from a class being taught upriver noticed the boat floating
upside down about 200 yards downstream from the club. They
approached and righted the kayak, discovered Dale, and noticed
the grab loop to her spray skirt was inside the boat. They
moved to shore, began CPR, and notified 9-1-1. On scene and
hospital resuscitation was unsuccessful; the case is now with
the medical examiner and an investigation is ongoing.
Dale was
a valuable and valued member of the boating community, and
will be missed by all of us. Our hearts go out to her family
and her wide circle of friends during this time of difficulty.
