President's
Message
St. John's
Regatta Committee
TOM STONE
1981 is the 155th anniversary of North America's oldest
sporting event - the annual SI. John 's Regatta.
It also marks the 80th anniversary of that day in 1901 when a
crew of Outer Cove fish ermen, rowing in the Blue Peter I, set
the record time of 9:13 4/5. In 1910, a set of gold medals,
known as the Lord Ward en's Medals, were offered for
competition as an incentive to better that record . They remain
unclaimed on display at City Hall.
Interest in rowing is higher how than it has been for some
time. Many crews of dedicated athletes are following a yearround
regimen of training and the competitive spirit is very
high. Our sliding seat program, too, is gaining increasing
interest thanks to excellent coaching and a core of dedicated
rowers.
The gratitude of the entire Regatta Committee goes to the
rowers and coxswains, the media, our sponsors and all those
who support us in so many other ways. A special thank-you to
Her Worship the Mayor and the City of SI. John's for their
tremendous contribution to the continuing success of this
historic event.
This year, I would like to Single out one Committee member
in particular, though I know he would not wish to be. This is
the 53rd year that Past President Gerry Angel has been
associated with the St. John's Regatta both as an oarsman
and a member of the Committee. He has served faithfully and
well and has held a number of Executive positions. In
honoring his . service, I would also like to recognize the
contribution of all my fellow Committee members who have
so generously volunteered their time and untiring efforts in
organizing this historic event and in preserving and perpetuating
a tradition which is an integral part of the heritage
of our City and our Province.
Finally, I would like to welcome the many visitors to this
year's Derby Day and wish them and all the cit izens of St.
John's an enjoyable 1981 Regatta.

GERALD P. ANGEL
In 1928 a young man of 15 years of age rowed with the 1st St.
John 's Boy Scouts in the Juvenile Race. That was the start of
a personal association with st. John's Annual Regatta which
has last 53 years .
Gerry Angel was an active oarsman on and off till 1949,
rowing in ten Regattas. He last rowed as an Amateur with St.
Bon 's. Jack Reardigan, another old Regatta hand, was a
member of that crew.
Gerry has two wins to his credit - one in the Amateur Race
and the other in the Club Race. Over the years he had the
pleasure of rowing under the guidance of such outstanding
coxswains as Levi "Shotty" Rogers, Jack Kenny, Jack Tobin
and Art Snow.
In 1946, while still an active oarsman, Gerry became a
Member of the St. John 's Regatta Committee. He served for
nearly 15 years as Secretary of the Boathouse and Pond
Committee and has held the positions of Secretary, Assistant
Secretary, Vice-President and President. He held the latter
position from 1964-67 inclusive. Today , he is as active as ever
as he presently holds the position of Assistant Secretary
once again .
Gerry Angel is one of the most dedicated Members of the
St. John 's Regatta Committee and is not happy unless he is
involved making an active contribution . His knowledge of the
Regatta and its history is unsurpassed. New members find in
Gerry a ready teacher and friend . Many have emulated his
example thus making a valuable contribution to our Annual
Regatta.
We congratulate and thank Gerry Angel for his 53 years of
service. We know our Regatta will be the beneficiary of his
wisdom for many years to come.
