Alumni, students, and area residents enjoyed unseasonably warm weather, an assortment of culinary delights, and a strong effort by Dowling's Crew team at the annual Alumni Cup Regatta on November 5. While SUNY Maritime edged the Golden Lions by one point to win the Cup, Dowling's rowers performed superbly in most races. Guests enjoyed food and refreshments donated by area restaurants and retailers under a tent on the Great Lawn. Tim Ring and his fellow S.G.A. leaders were busy on the grill, and many alumni reconnected at tailgate parties along the river banks.
