Social

Hi, Social channel! I'm Tony, a new member as of this month. I joined Sail Away for the boats, but I'm equally excited about meeting more people who just love being around the water like I do!

You may have already run across my son, Ben, and I out at the club, and I'm sure you'll see more of us as it starts to cool off! I tried working from the dock the other day, but I only made it about an hour!

Joe Tinin was the director of Counseling at Eastfield College and I was a first year counselor and Psychology teacher. We would bring our Psychology and Human Sexuality and Social Problems classes to White Rock Boat Club and It was so much fun! Students had to write all the things they did and give a speech about it. It is called participatory teaching where the students teach each other from their own xperiences.

We told each student they were our favorite. The students were motivated to be extroverted in class and the more we learned about each other the more we loved each other, My family Joel Janis Jena and Jonathan every Sunday would have a group encounter starting in Junior high. What do you like or not like about each other and be honest! My kids grew up to make more money than I did and very different careers.…

When I joined WRBC I was 26 and a friend Joe Tinnin had a Rebel and we would sail around White Rock and stop at the different docks. We would see young families or awesome women and offer to take them sailing. We tried racing but the boat got beat up by inexperianced sailors so we quit racing! Joe died of cancer and gave me the Rebel and I just sold it after 52 years and bought an awesome Flying Scot for my kids Jena 32 and Jonathan 30.

What fun stories do you have at WRBC?

I am trying to find some diversity to join our club from different countries like India, England, Demark, China or any of the many minorities which walk past our club. Do you have friends who could join our club to give us some color or interesting lives?
