For Ron Rosanove (OW1945), the love of rowing has never faded.
Ron still finds time to enjoy a regular coffee down near the boathouse and eagerly anticipates the Wesley crews rowing past. Seeing the purple and gold brings a familiar flash of nostalgia and pride. Ron proudly rowed in the Wesley College First Crew in 1944 and 1945 and began coaching rowing in his final year at Wesley and for a further five years while at university.
Ron and Elizabeth Rosanove have generously supported the College for many decades, including the boathouse and the naming of the Ron Rosanove Bay.
Eighty years on, it was a true delight to see Ron gathered with family, friends and rowers in the boathouse, a place so close to his heart.
Bow, you’re hurrying.
