Footnote to UBC Rowing 1950 - 1960 - Frank Read

"The period 1950 to 1960 could be called the Frank Read era - the glory days of Canadian rowing" states Jack Carver in his book "The Vancouver Rowing Club". With intensity and burning desire, UBC rowing coach Frank Read molded university crews, not national crews, into world class champions.

The genesis and builder of UBC's rich rowing history, Read between 1950 and '60 molded the UBC student crews into world class champions. His crews won medals at the '56 and '60 Olympics, won Canadian and British Commonwealth championships, as well as medals at Henley. Read embodied the "golden age" of UBC rowing.

Frank Read was inducted into the British Columbia Sports Hall of Fame in 1966 as a Builder and later into the University of British Columbia Sports Hall of Fame in 1994
