The Boys in the Boats: The Back Story to a Publishing & Cinema Phenomenon
Lecture Hall, Room 009
Jim Ojala, MA '71, PhD '74, shares an insider’s insights into the back story of Daniel James Brown’s runaway 2013 bestseller, The Boys in the Boat, and details the ensuing decade-long struggle to bring it to the silver screen. Ojala took his first stroke in a racing shell sitting in Joe Rantz’s #7 seat in the original Husky Clipper and was later was coached by George Pocock. He personally knew many of the major players in the book and collaborated with Pocock’s son, Stan, in the writing and publication of his lavish memoir, "Way Enough!" Recollections of a Life in Rowing.

Need a hand? Binghamton Rowing is here to help! Rent-A-Rower is LIVE, and our new members are eager to assist the Greater Binghamton community with any work that might need to be done.

Our fall training has been intense, but we have the strength to show for it! We do a variety of work - the possibilities are endless.

Have any questions? Looking to put us to work? Contact Daniel Owens, our Vice President of Fundraising, to get started! His email is below.
