I would suggest reaching out to Marcus to confirm the date.

Mercia was perhaps the reason I joined SKABC and became an avid kayaker. The Coast Kayak Symposium was one of the most fun events I’ve been to and really made me want to be part of that community. Of course there was much learning there too!

The obituary says Aug 16 but this post says Aug 13. Kevin, do we know which is the correct date?
