Octogenarians Charles Touhey, Dr. Bill Cromie, and Phil Hansen reunited at the Albany Rowing Center on November 11, 2026, to reminisce about their daily pre-dawn rowing workouts and the regattas they entered during the 1980s.
The three former teammates, all in their 80s, gathered in the boathouse where they once trained, reflecting on a shared history of competitive rowing that spanned decades.
Photographer Paul Grondahl captured the reunion for the Times Union, highlighting the enduring camaraderie and passion for the sport that keeps these veterans connected.
