Some of the regulars are a little younger than Bill and the elderly women. One such person is Santos, who I saw in the Square many times before actually meeting him at the Tasty. He sports several earrings and a real smooth mannerism that goes with his jean jacket. This guy also was mean, looking to start a fight with a redhaired guy who sat alone at the table. But Karl refereed and brought the conflict...
...names include: the Ridley Boat Club, Canada's 1984 Olympic gold medalists and last year's Head Championship Eight winners; The Rude and the Smooth, the famed '75 Harvard crew; Andy Sudduth, a 1984 Olympic silver medalist and last year's Head singles champ; and crews from Navy, Wisconsin, Oxford and--of course--Harvard...
