Former Olympic rower Col Alexander
Lindsay, 74, who lives nearby Jamie in Cirencester and competed
in the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome, says: “Jamie is a remarkable
man and I greatly admire his continuing efforts to raise desperately
needed money for Alzheimer’s Research UK. I’m keen to
do everything I can to support him and proud to be part of this
year’s Forget-Me-Not-Row.”

Hugh Matheson, who rowed in
the Olympics in 1972, 1976 and 1980, remarks: “Jamie and I
have been friends since our school days and I admire his willpower
and determination. I rowed with Jamie last year and I’m delighted
to be on board again to help defeat dementia.”

When the dust had settled on
last year's row, the team reflected on Jamie's amazing achievement.
There were no superlatives left that could express what Jamie had
done. Andrew Gordon summed it up admirably: "It was all great
fun, solid bonding, and we will not forget.

"I hope we might do it
again next year on the Fourth of June, and end up in the procession
of boats at Eton in the afternoon. I suppose it is up to Jamie,
if he can stay fit enough. Meantime, some more money to come in,
I hope."
