Bob Spenger in his eighties, a rowing friend of mine.



This is Bob Spenger. He lives in California at five thousand feet of elevation, somewhere in Lone Pine off Highway 395. The first time I met him, he blew me away by rowing a world record for his age category at the Iron Oarsman. His time was in the neighborhood of 8 minutes for 2k. He came to see me for some technique feedback and to have me witness his 2000 meter piece so he could be selected as a US rower to the Eruopean Championship. At age 79 he had open heart surgery. One of his valves was replaced.
Sincerely,
