Rats are (not!) old news

For a wintertime project, I was going through boxes of memorabilia, and found some old newspaper writeups of our club. I thought others might be interested in past articles and pictures of us in The Leader and the Peninsula Daily News.

August 31, 2005. The Port Townsend Leader.

Article about Port Townsend rowers returning the historic Hoh to the Pocock Rowing Foundation. Video of the ceremony was recently shown at Roger’s 90th birthday party.

July 16, 2008.  Supplement to the Leader.

Patricia “PJ” Farmer, Jim Mason and Jim Buckley make the cover of this special article on living a healthy lifestyle as we age.  There are inspiring quotes from many of our rowers in the article.  (Article follows the cover photo.)

June 28, 2009.  Special insert to the Peninsula Daily News.

One of the best team names in club history, the “White Caps” was a team consisting entirely of women who are “pushing 70.”  Cover photo has four past members, from L2R: Libby Palmer, Johanna King, PJ Farmer and Marsha Werner.

June 2010, The Leader

Finally, the Leader published almost two full pages about the 2010 Rat Island Regatta.
