My brother met Phil Jonik at the post office, when he asked about the boat strapped to Phil’s car. Since then, we have become good friends. Phil is a special rowing companion, having begun his competitive career on Philadelphia’s Boathouse Row 63 years ago. I’m new at it, but I’m able to relax and take moments to marvel at the experience of being in a shell on an inlet of the sea.
