Memory Day: Snapshots

This picture was taken 20 years ago today, on April 27, 1996.

It was just after a mid-season, untitled crew race on the Occoquan Reservoir. The day started out unfortuitously when the school bus went off the road and skidded into a ditch, stranding us in Lorton long enough to prevent any pre-race practicing. In the lightweight race, we came in second by 7 seconds behind TJ but handily beat Woodbridge, Robinson, and Yorktown.

I haven't talked to any of these clowns in years, with the exception of that brief two-week period around 2007 when everyone was adding everyone else on Facebook to pretend that they still had things in common.
