The Race is ON! We had 30 days to raise enough money to restore our unique 16-oared Pocock classic racing shell the Kathy Lazara Whitman…and thanks to you, We DID IT!!!
3/4/15 The group in Port Townsend certainly knows how to lovingly restore a boat. Joan Van Blom, 3-time Olympian (’76-’84) and a 2-time silver medalist.
3/3/15 Wow! I have contributed to the restoration of this fine shell. It is so fabulous that effort is going to reclaim this work of art. – Kathy Lazara Whitman, Aquatics Manager, Seattle Parks and Recreation.
3/2/15 Our friends back in Port Townsend have a worthy goal. – Schooner Martha Foundation.
3/3/15 I sure wish Stan [Pocock] was along to view this activity as he would have enjoyed reliving the construction and would have so much to offer. But he was the last, so now it is up to others to continue this history. -Guy Harper, Ancient Mariners Rowing Club, former UW crew and friend of Stan Pocock.
