Perkins recalled taking sailing trips with Rothschild and both their wives on Rothschild’s yacht, the Moonbeam. Together, they took sea trips to places like Halifax and Scandinavia.
“I sailed with him and cruised with him and he was a superb skipper and a most genial companion,” Perkins said.
His tenure at the Harvard Club followed his service as vice-president while Perkins was president.
“He was an enormously successful president and was a very loyal and effective vice president,” Perkins said. “He did anything and everything that I either suggested or asked and did it extremely well,” said Perkins.
He was also commodore of the Cruising Club of America in 1988 and 1989—“a post any sailor would be greatly honored to hold,” Perkins said.
