Charles Hamlin, a 1968 Olympic rower, was reunited Saturday with the rescuers who saved his life this past summer after he went into cardiac arrest on Lake Whatcom.
Hamlin was out training at the lake on Saturday, June 2. He knew he needed to get back to shore to help dedicate the Susan Hirst, a new four person shell that’s named in honor of a woman who died a while back. She was an integral part of the master’s rowing program.
