Special "Thanks" from Bob Lynch
What a land crew. Special thanks to Sue Lynch and Susan Moran for their tireless
effort to make the rowers look good. It simply would not have been possible to
plan and get ready for this row, let alone complete it. As always behind every
successful man there is a terrific and most surprised woman. The land crew
is so much more than tending to blisters and in mixing power drinks. Probably
only appropriate that Sue kept me going once again since she has been doing
that same thing for over 35 years.
Thanks Sue, I love you.
