Last fall I  published a book, My Life in Boats, Fast and Slow. 

The book is a coming of age story about  my dream of rowing in the Olympics.   Here is the introduction:

Introduction

  Before there was Harry Potter, there was Harry Parker, the heavyweight  varsity crew coach at Harvard for over fifty years, from 1963 to 2013. Every fifty years the Harvard Varsity Club compiles a book about sports at Harvard.  I would like to quote from the Third H book of Harvard Athletics, outlining the legacy of Harry Parker:

       The word dynasty doesn’t do justice to Harvard heavyweight crew; the programs, the accomplishments rival those of any school, in any sport, over any stretch of time. The titles, the trophies, and the testimonials are proof enough.   Such success is an inevitable result of recruiting great talent, but those in charge of Harvard rowing program also take immense pride in developing novices into elite oarsmen. Step into Newell boathouse and you will sense the unmistakable harmony that exists there, making everyone-from the future Olympian to the unsung rower toiling in the fourth boat—feel at home…p 760

        Perhaps the greatest of  Harvard’s rowing achievements came in 1967 and 1968,    when the varsity won the gold medal at the 1967 Pan-American Games, placed second at the European championships, and  represented the United States at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, where the boat reached the grand finals…p710

Hark back to the middle of the last century of the previous millennium, and hear my story about rowing for Harry Parker, and my life in boats.
