In yesterday’s USRowing SW Masters/Open Championships held at Lake Merritt, LARC rocked. Mark May turned in a second place finish in the single scull, the strong women’s eight made it to second in the Open race, and the mixed eight turned in a brilliant second place showing.
Yep, you guys in the Mixed Eight were huge! I was in the Lions Mixed Eight and while we were second for a while, LARC had the heart and the strength to make it all the way. Kudos to the team!

It’s my pleasure to let you all know that, in tandem with Ryan’s brilliant upgrade of the launch to the “right” engine system, last Saturday 20th we finally placed the name on the launch!
You can see a slideshow of last Saturday’s installation project HERE. (Hit PLAY)
Thanks Ryan Reid, and also Gary Smoot, who came in to save the sticky process…
The name “Tener R” comes from my father Tener Riggs Eckelberry (Senior), who died on October 23, 2007 in Southwest France.
There is a short bio HERE. Scroll down for a fascinating collection of his postwar stories including some great CIA anecdotes…
Here is a photo from the last quality time I spent with my father, in 2006:. Some of you will recognize this as the photo I use, cropped, for all my social media profiles.
I am honored and thankful for the opportunity to remember my father in this fashion.
Thanks, LARC.
