Rodd. The Rodds owned The Gorge Boathouse, which built boats and rented out canoes. Sydney, the youngest son, and his brother Twinkie, whose Klee Wyck works were sold in Heffel’s May 26, 2010 sale, helped Carr with yard work. Sydney had an angora rabbit, and Carr, who loved all animals and shared her cottage with her menagerie of pets, gave him Whale Bowl as a special dinner bowl for this rabbit. The incised design of whales can clearly be seen. Sydney’s mother was an artist, and she and Carr likely shared their mutual interests during the year or so that Carr lived at this cottage.
