My daughter Natalie has just completed her first season as a member of the rowing (crew) team at FDR High School. She's still in eighth grade, and already she has participated in three sports on the varsity level -- swimming (fall), bowling (winter), crew (spring). Of course, being the Goofy Dad in the Tube Socks, I am proud of all her pursuits. Above, the novice (8th-grade) team took a final plunge in the murky Hudson River on Monday afternoon. To the left, Natalie strikes a contemplative pose after a recent race. Of course, my compass is dialed to track, but I must say that there are many similarities between crew and track in terms of camaraderie and family support. We like the view from the shore, and here's to a few more years with the rowers.
