Andrew Larkin grew up in New Britain, Connecticut. His father was a doctor, and his mother was a nurse. He was awkward as a child. He dreamed an impossible dream that he would go to the Olympics in rowing. He went to Harvard and rowed for the legendary coach Harry Parker, who coached at Harvard for 50 years. The 1968 Harvard Crew went to the Olympics in Mexico City. They were involved in the Olympic Project for Human Rights, set up by Martin Luther King, Jr, to dramatize the blight of black athletes in America. These actions led to the dramatic photo from the 1968 games, the award ceremony of the 200 m race, with Tommie Smith, Peter Norman, and John Carlos. The author went on to a career in medicine, and settled in Northampton, MA. He has taken up recreational rowing, and his toured down the Connecticut River to Long Island Sound. He enjoys telling stories, and finds writing difficult. People told him he should write a book, and he finally did.
