About The Author
E.J. Woodhouse
Edward James Woodhouse is a retired corporate lawyer now focusing on writing biographies. He rowed at Kent School, Litchfield (Ct.) Rowing Association, and Harvard. He was a member of the New England Champion 1970 Kent Varsity, the 1970 U.S. Junior eight that placed 4th in the World Championships, the undefeated 1972 Harvard freshmen crew that won the Thames Challenge Cup at Henley, and the 1974 Harvard Varsity National Champion crew–the “Rude and Smooth.” A Sports Illustrated reported he was named “the smoothest” by his boatmates. Upon graduation from Harvard, he helped coach the 1975 U.S. Junior National championship eight that placed 7th in the Worlds in Montreal. During his law career, he ran 23 marathons in 40 years “to stay sane.” He now lives on the banks of Claytor Lake, Virginia where he rows daily and competes in Masters head races each fall.
