This is a diary of a trip I took as a member of the 1953 Kent School Henley Crew to England. Parts of this diary are not in my own words; such sections were written by Hans Kalinke '54 and appeared in the KENT NEWS in the fall on 1954. These sections are recognized by quotation marks and have the initles [sic] H.S.K. following. The trip was taken during my fifth form year when I was 17 years old.

Percy,
My memories of this trip are very dear and are a highlight in my life. Rather than write you an emotional epistle, perhaps this diary will bring you some delight and fond memories of the 1953 Kent Henley trip as expressed in this document.
Best personal regards - Kent Crews of the future will miss knowing you.

Best Wishes
Steve Fairbairn

A letter written from Buddy to Percy on hearing of the death of Steve Fairbairn. The letter sings the praises of Fairbairn and his skill as a coach, and tells Percy of the crew he is currently coaching - they are not very good and have little hope of winning. He closes the letter with his hopes that Percy will keep the Jesus crew 'free of all nonsense and make them work their blades to move the boat'.

Includes the original envelope - addressed to Percy Bullock Esq., 16 New Square, Cambridge

He discusses in detail rowing techniques and the methods in which beginners are taught at Harvard. He closes with asking how Percy's 'son and heir' is and sends his greetings to Mrs Bullock.
