Those that have read The Boys In The Boat will appreciate this. Letter that Joe Rantz wrote to the 2007 National Championship crew about 2 months before passing away at 93.

Good stuff. As a youth with no pro sports and the Huskies the only show in town, crew got a lot of free pub. Those trips to Henley were a big deal

We? also won with the QB (of the boat) having been near death- i.e., severe respiratory infection resulting in weight loss and high fever. Back then, the mighty men were willing to stare down death to beat Hitler.RaceBannon said:Good stuff. As a youth with no pro sports and the Huskies the only show in town, crew got a lot of free pub.
