| Amy,
with her busy schedule, gave me a chance to interview her late in
the afternoon on September 9. It was during her going away party
,she was moving the next day to a more convenient paddling location,
Oregon, to finish her degree in Spanish,and get even more days on
the water. Amy
has been ACA certified since June of 2000 and has been a kayak
instructor for three years with Surf Montana Kayak School and
the University of Montana Outdoor Program.
