Join us for a special panel presentation about the history of UW Rowing and the epic quest for gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, hosted by UW Rowing historian, Eric Cohen. Cohen was one of Daniel James Brown’s first contacts when researching his 2013 novel, “Boys in the Boat”.
Hear from Cohen and panelists:
- Kirk Knapp, owner of Conny, the 1936 coaches’ boat
- Melanie Barstow, ASUW Shell House tour founder
- John Tytus, president of Pocock Racing Shells
- Yaz Farooq, Olympian and current UW Women’s Rowing Head Coach
The level of rowing experience and inside knowledge of the “Boys in the Boat” story and movie is unsurpassed with this group. It is the first time all of them will be together for a presentation and will make for a highly entertaining and fascinating inside look at this story.
