Dedicated to the memory of Matt Rynish, an outstanding civil engineering alumnus of the University of Wisconsin-Platteville whose life was tragically lost, at age 27, in an occupational accident during the final editing phases of this book. He is shown in the rear of the concrete canoe below, after winning a race at the 2006 Midwest Regional Concrete Canoe Competition.
