My Likeness on a T-shirt
Two weeks ago the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association held its Championship Regatta at Melton Hill Lake in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. I attended the regatta with my former North Carolina State University rowing team.
It was not until after the regatta that I was alerted by one of the current NC State coxswains that my likeness was on the SIRA Champioship Regatta’s t-shirt. He scanned the shirt he had purchased there and sent me the image, and sure enough, the single sculler on the bottom was me! Knowing roughly where that photo would be from, I scoured the photos I have on my laptop and found the original picture they used: a picture of me racing in the Men’s Senior B Lightweight Single Heats at the 2006 Canadian Henley in St. Catharine’s, Ontario. This is from the summer when I was a member of Undine Barge Club in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
I have been trying to get in contact with Bob Jaugstetter, the regatta director of the SIRA Championship and head coach of Tulane Rowing, but have had no success so far.
The t-shirt scan and the likely original photo are below:
