Krista and Pineedles,
I have just made you both color copies of the Centennial Program and put it in the mail. It is a nice keepsake, and as I explained in my notes to you, we have framed the cover of program and hung it on our cottage wall. A nice addition!! Krista, you will be pleased to read about your great (or was it great, great) grandfather, who was pivotal in organizing the Y-H Regatta.

It was wonderful meeting you both at the Forum, and hats-off to you Krista, for a marvelous job of coordinating the event. You are nothing short of a professional event planner, and we all appreciated being on the receiving end of your skillful and thoughtful planning! You have inherited many of your great, great grandfather's skills in bringing people and events together! Best, Redwing

Here's an interesting envelope, postmarked the same day as the Centennial race.

Boardwalk Bluesboy,
Where did you find this amazing postcard? Many thanks for sharing it...was there a photo on the reverse side, or any other information?
