I remember placing 2nd as a frosh at Dad Vail in 69, winning gold as JV in 70, and gold again as a varsity in 71... three great years for me considering how many times the guys had to come back and pull me out of my New North bed at 6:00am... My daughter just graduated from UC Davis where she rowed and won the Division 2 National Championships... Our twin boys will graduate from High School in June."
