50 Years. 50 Stories: A celebration of Philadelphia rowing through the history of the HOSR. We are celebrating the HOSR’s 50th anniversary by highlighting 50 legendary competitors/crews/teams/coaches/influencers that have catapulted the regatta into a fall classic over 50 years. This list could never be exhaustive, but will be representative of the breadth of competition, and the culture, of the HOSR. This is an opportunity to hear the stories of the legends that have made ...the Schuylkill River and Boathouse Row so important to the greater rowing community, and special in our hearts. We celebrate the people by passing down their stories through generations, and affecting change for the future of our sport. We will publish a new story each week, continuing the celebration of our 50th anniversary, leading up to the 2021 regatta. Week four shares the story of the PGRC "Vichy" 8+ - The first time American women were permitted to compete in an international competition was 1967, only three years before the first HOSR race. http://hosr.org/the-pioneering-women-who-first-raced-abroad/ #50stories #50years #schuylkilllegends #lovewhereyourow #rowing #VirtuallyYours

He’s supplied charts for the Jazz Orchestra of Philadelphia under direction of Terell Stafford, the Temple University Jazz Orchestra, and the Dutch Concert Big Band. Jack is the leader, conductor, and sole writer for the Jack Saint Clair Orchestra, a 17-piece big band that performs the first Thursday of the month at LaRose Jazz Club.
