In a projected two volumes, More Than Rowing covers 100 Kent boys crews between 1922 and 2021 and 47 girls crews stretching from 1973 to 2021. Each year was populated with young athletes living, learning, and growing, and their stories are worth remembering.

It is hard for me to select out particular years for you to preview. After three years of work, each feels like one of my children, and it is hard to treat one above another. This week I present the 1963 Boys and 1965 Boys (below) sections from the era of the Vietnam War.
