This is a segment of an article entitled “As I Remember” by Frank Mylod. He gives a brief history of the Regatta, and then discusses his own memories of watching the event. It provides an excellent example of the Regatta from the spectator’s point of view. He focuses on the atmosphere, the colors, the noise, and the excitement. He briefly discusses Regatta Row, the colleges that attended, the best places to view the race, and how the winner was announced to the crowd. He also covers why the Regatta eventually left Poughkeepsie.
