    John,
    Was the Albany to NYC race your Dad ran in '65 by chance. I was there three times and that was the worse. When we rounded West Point I wondered if we had missed Ft. Lee and headed into the Atlantic. We finished second in FE running a flat bottom 13' Allision. If I had been smarter we could have won. Earlier in the race we passed the class winners Mike Quale and the late Herman Haggerman.
    That's the only race I ever ran that I received a certificate from the state for completion.
    What year did a certain college boy from Califorina brag the night before how fast he was going to run the river in a flat bottom DeSilva?

    Default Albany to NYC

    1965 - Steve Sherlock / 1964 - John Sherlock Jr. / I think my dad ran in 1965, same year as my brother.. My brother, Steve, was killed in Vietnam just a few years after the 1965 race.

    1964 I believe was calm. I wasn't there, but I believe that was the year Ted March won FH and Bob Halstead won FI both in flat bottom Allisons.
