Bob

Robert Henry Kefford III was known to his friends as Bob. He was sorry to be leaving Cambridge. He had spent three glorious years at St. John’s, and he hadn’t read as many books as he had done for his undergraduate degree at the University of Chicago, he had tried hard to come in head of the river. It wasn’t unusual for an American to win a rowing competition in the early 1970s, but he to win a victorious Cambridge eight for three years in a row. Britons have done it.

Bob’s father, Robert Henry Kefford II, known to his friends as Robert, has traveled over to England to watch his son take part in all three races from Putney to Mortlake. After Bob had stroked Cambridge to victory for the third time, his father him that he must not return to his native Illinois without having presented a memento to the University Boat Club that they would him by.

“And don’t forget, my boy,” declared Robert Henry Kefford II, “better to show that you have an effort to present them with an object of historic value than give them something that obviously cost a great deal of money. The British appreciate that sort of thing.”

Bob spent many hours considering his father’s words, but completely to come up with any worthwhile ideas.
