It was with profound sadness I learned that Hart Perry, Executive Director of the National Rowing Foundation, Henley Steward, to mention a few of his positions in the Rowing World, passed away at Lawrence & Memorial Hospital, in New London, Connecticut, at 1 o’clock this afternoon. He took ill at the award dinner at Henley on the 20 January, and when he returned home, he was soon thereafter rushed to the hospital.Hart was a great man, and he will be sadly missed by all his friends around the world!

What a loss to rowing and to friendships. Hart personified all that is fine and great about rowing and his colleagues and friends have mighty boots to fill. Bill Lanouette
