I’m a little behind on my PAW issues, but I wanted to respond to the request for memories of crew at Princeton.
After getting an undergraduate degree from Princeton and working a couple of years, I returned to get a master’s in MAE. One of my fellow students was a senior who rowed lightweight crew and made it sound like fun. This would have been spring of 1987 (or possibly 1988).
I am not much of an athlete, but I found out there was a graduate student rowing club and joined for a few months. We practiced in the boathouse and on the lake, and had a couple of fun races.
After that I got too busy with my thesis to continue (and OK, those practices were really hard work! LOL). But I really enjoyed it — I was glad there was a club level where I could try out the sport without embarrassment. :)

Thanks for reminding me of that time.
