Here is the story about the photo. . . .Al belongs to
this group called "the Golden Boys". It’s a
bunch of retired fellows (over 200 members,
believe it or not.) that get together and golf, boat &
participate in all sorts of activities. The Golden Boys
decided to participate in a fund raising asian dragon
boat race, but found it hard to get enough of the
members to participate in the race. The rules stated
that they had to have at least 8 women in the race
as well. I became one of those women and the
youngest of the group, I might add.
So. . . . ."the Golden Boys" became "the
Golden Paddlers" There were some very
impressive teams that we raced against. One came
from Charleston to participate here in Charlotte. We
did rather well, 4th place in our class without any
heart failure as many of our competitors teased
before we paddled in front of them. Al is in the blue
had. Sorry that you can’t see me, I was in the front
of the boat bringing the team across the finish line.
