Riverside's Centennial Year

On the eve of Riverside Boat Club’s 150th anniversary celebration, it is gratifying to recognize the distance the club has come in the last fifty years. Riverside was dangerously close to extinction in 1969. Frank Bane Jr. recalls that there were so few people around the boathouse at the time that he and his brothers invited friends and classmates to join them for summer evening rows.
