On Dec. 5 in Poughkeepsie, 21 alumni who were rowers at Marist in the 1970s got together to honor former crew coach Bill Austin. Bill was presented with a framed and signed picture commemorating the dinner that he hosted for the rowers during their September alumni weekend. Throughout his eight-year head coaching stint spanning the late ’60s thru mid-’70s, Bill brought together countless oarsmen to represent Marist, most of whom remain close friends to this day.
