WC Dedicates Maher Shells

Thomas and Belle Patterson Maher (back row) were joined by members of their family for the dedication of shells named for Belle and daughter Jenna '85. Washington College parent and former College trustee, gathered his family (including son Tom '83 and daughter Jenna '85) in February to help present two new rowing shells he purchased for Washington College.

"The Belle," named for his wife, and "The Jenna," named for his daughter, were dedicated before a crowd of sports fans during Convocation weekend. Jenna, a member of the College's first women's crew team, introduced her dad to the fine sport of rowing, and the Mahers purchased the College's first women's shell in the early 1980s. The original "Belle" was recently retired from varsity competition.
