STANLEY R. POCOCK 1923-2014

Stanley Pocock, son of the famous George Pocock, learned the shell building craft from his father. Here he checked the width of one of the braces in the shell at the loft workshop.
      The life long Seattle resident was inducted into the National Rowing Hall of Fame in 1979. His father, George, was inducted in 1966.
      There is a Memorial Ceremony for his rowing friends on 3 January 2015 at the Conibear Boathouse on the UW Campus from 11-3.
      Some of the accomplishments of the legendary man and a farewell can be viewed here.
