Q But clearly, I mean, clearly you were close, right? I mean, you, I mean, even though, Pete, you were at Stanford, Dick, you were on the East Coast, I know that, Pete, you went and visited your brother in Philadelphia at a certain point, which is, I think, the first time you actually tried rowing, right?
A Absolutely, yeah. Of course, I was, you know, Athletic. And so he said, why don't you try rowing? And I said, okay, great. So he put me in a single, which is, it's got to be about 10 inches wide, I think, the single, and, um, pushed me off the dock. And in Philadelphia, there's a dam just downstream from the boathouses. I've sort of drifted around out there, trying not to flip over. I really thought I was petrified. I could, I could, I really couldn't move, and boats were coming right at me, and I had to shout out to say, stop, I can't move, and finally, I sort of picked my way around and got back to the dock, but it was probably half an hour later before I got back to the dock, and that was my first experience. Terrible.
