History of the Canopy

It was originally a gift to Stovebolt from Ed "DaOzTinman" Hoover and stayed for its first years with the Kansas City group (Don et al). I was always dreading that letter I suspected would be in the mailbox any day from the patent attorneys at GM because of the corporate logos on it. Perhaps you've been wondering why Stovebolt HQ suddenly moved to BFE, Alabama .... ? Anyway...

After a few years in KC, I was able to bring it East and the canopy even made it to HQ for a couple of years before it went South. Here's a few shots from its ODSS sojourn.
