	Bucknell Varsity 8 at Henley Jeweliet Yost of Ventnor (in sneakers) was the coxswain for Bucknell University's Varsity 8 that raced at the Women's Henley Regatta in Henley, England in June. The varsity eight lost to Leander Composite, which is comprised of under-23 British rowers who aspire to compete in the Olympics. Bucknell lost by two boat lengths and faced a challenging headwind throughout the 1,500-meter race. Leander went on to win the event.

	With the price of gasoline at $4 a gallon, when a dollar cannot buy a euro, and when the air travel industry (both at the airport as well as on the plane) treat passengers worse than cattle at a chute going to the slaughterhouse, Betty and Cornell Dowlin of Moorestown and Ocean City decided to have different travel plans this year. They traveled to the far end of Tennessee Avenue to the boat ramp in Ocean City. They observed the Great Egg Harbor Bay and the B.L. England generating plant in the distance. Now for those of you who are “chronologically gifted” like this octogenarian (that is old), you may remember Sen. Claghorn on the old Fred Allen pre-television radio show who said: “That is a joke, son.” And so it is. This is a joke, son.
In the ‘city of dreaming spires’ This picture was taken in March at Oxford University in Oxford, England.
