To be clear @haie I still enjoyed the movie, it just didn't live up to my ultra-doog expectations, and I feel like Clooney kind of 'mailed it in.' I'm sure King 5 would have sold some of their footage of the 50th anniversary row.

They had aged a lot by the time we all met them 10 years later.huskyhooligan said:To be clear @haie I still enjoyed the movie, it just didn't live up to my ultra-doog expectations, and I feel like Clooney kind of 'mailed it in.'

Cool footage of former coach Dick Ericksen who I knew well. ‘86 was his last year before they sent him to pasture. -

You're welcome
But likely he was the uncle or the other dad. From his 2001 Obit:

The surviving members of the crew -- with the death of Hume, four are still living -- have continued to meet on a regular basis. The wild card was always Hume, who spent much of his time on the road, due to business.
"Ninety percent of the time you'd never know if Don would be there," Moch said. "But each time he'd show up, with a bottle of champagne in each hand."
Hume is survived by a brother, Dale, of Olympia. -
Hume showed up to watch us at Henley once.whlinder said:

Only my resume and his. Otherwise, it's just another creepycoug tall tale.YellowSnow said:

This makes up for your shaky performance on the Cristobal thread. All is forgiven. Apology accepted.1to392831weretaken said:Pics of Hume stroking the senior varsity eight?

It was reported to me by someone (another creepy tall tale I suppose) that Hume wasn't really that into having the big win be his primary identity in life, at least certainly not in the way it was for Rantz. The same source said that he had an aloof snicker (like most Oly guys, see our own @RaceBannon ) and was said to periodically chuckle - but not quite guffaw - over the fuss the other guysms made about it all.whlinder said:

Hume is also the guy, I believe, who stayed at the family residence in Everett after they moved to O Town to finish out college or something and, when it was time to go, packed his shit in an actual row boat and made his way down the sound. Maybe suburban legend, but with those guys that would not have been that crazy as it might sound to one us here in soft ass land.
