Information on Chicago Rowing Center |
Lou Canellis rows up the south branch of the Chicago River with the
Chicago Rowing Center! This women's rowing program is for anyone high
school age and up, with any level of experience. Right now there are
about 20 girls on this team-the youngest is 16 and the oldest is nearing
her 50's! Their practice schedule pretty much sums up their level
of dedication-they are out twice a day, 6 days a week, at 4AM and
6 in the evening! And the work pays off for this Bridgeport club-the
CRC has won 11 national Titles in its 5 short years of existence!

Information on Tempel Lipizzans |
They've been protected by empires... performed before royalty... pulled
the casket of the Unknown Soldier of the Vietnam War... and have been
ridden by world leaders like Ronald Reagan and Morocco's King Hassan
The Second. There are less than 4,000 amongst this rare breed worldwide.
And, through the course of their lives they magnificently begin to
change color from off black…to pure white. They are the Lipizzans
Stallions at Tempel Farms in Wadsworth Illinois! And this year marks
the 60th anniversary of one of the great untold stories of world war
two: the U.S. military rescue of two hundred Lipizzans being held
captive by German troops in Czechoslovakia.
