After 10+ years of not doing anything FL Crew related (or rowing in general), we’re both trying to get back into supporting our alumni and it’s been fun getting back out to the boathouse for a weekend tour of the facilities. I might even squeeze my not-so-lightweight frame back into a shell for a brief reminder of what made rowing such an addiction during my college years.

Florida Crew Alumni,

Invitations were sent out last week to the 4th annual Florida Crew Family and Alumni Weekend. Some of you may not receive one because your physical address is not on file. A copy of the invite is attached to this message. It explains how to RSVP and gives a description of the event. The festivities start Saturday, February 20th. The event continues to grow every year and I guarantee it will be worth the trip to Gainesville.

Hope to see you there!
Family and Alumni Weekend Invitation

I met Holly in college while coaching for [Florida Crew]. We’ve kept in touch sporadically over the years so it’s nice to see she’s doing well academically and now, professionally. She’s the author of a book titled [Human Origins 101], travels to Kenya, Africa annually for research and is a soon-to-be Assistant Professor at Northeastern Illinois University’s Department of Anthropology.

Congrats Dr. Dunsworth!
