Brooks III (Brooks Scanlon lumber heir)...later owned by Hubie Wallace (heir to Burrard Shipyard & Commodore of Royal Vic YC)...Gordie Leavitt then restored her (aft deck layout, new engines - 1990s)...then sold to the original Ice Road Trucker (I forget his name)...Mark Brown was his Captain...sold to a Seattle dentist who had Mark bring her back from Juneau (which was our trip in 2004)...then sold to Steve & Max Painter (Port Ludlow) with whom I rafted off & on for 3 summers."
