Friend and fellow rower Peter Jensen died on July 13 after a long battle with colon cancer. In 1994 Peter joined CLRA where he learned to sweep row and scull. He rowed at various clubs along the East Coast and in Vienna, Austria. For six summers he was a host to out-of-town coaches of the National Team during summer training. Under the tutelage of Stuyve Pell, a founding member of the club and renowned sculler, Peter restored a 1980s racing shell, affectionately known as the Aunty Mabel, and spent years rowing it up and down Lake Carnegie. He has many Laker friends who will miss him deeply.
