This is DieselFish Dragon Boat Team’s 25th season!
We’re going to celebrate this milestone by sharing memories from our past. Read
on to learn about the team’s greatest triumphs and challenges—as told by the
people that were there. Buckle up! This is the story of DieselFish.
Here’s with a conversation I had with Frank. Frank was
one of the founders of DieselFish Youth (DFY), DieselFish’s high school division.
When he wasn’t managing and nurturing the DFY kids, Frank paddled with the
DieselFish adults.
DF: When did you paddle with
DieselFish?
Frank: My first association with DieselFish was in 2009 when we approached the team with the crazy idea of forming a high school dragon boat team to represent youth paddlers residing in the Peninsula and South Bay.
DF: Why did you join DieselFish?
Frank: We were looking for experience and willing coaches and a team to call home. DieselFish was the adult team willing to sponsor and support a youth program. Of which we were very appreciative.
DF: Tell us your favorite DieselFish story:
Frank: There is no one story to be told but of a life experience. Without dragon boating, we would have never met a finer group of people and developed lifelong friendships, on and off the water.
DF: How did DieselFish change your life?
Frank: For me it isn't how DieselFish changed my life but how DieselFish changed the lives of youth paddlers. I had the pleasure of watching the youth paddlers mature and become adults themselves. My greatest pleasure was providing a platform for creating memories and experiences for young paddlers.
DF: Thanks for sharing your memories, Frank. But more
importantly, thank you for helping create DFY! DFY provided its members with
character-building experiences that they’ll never forget.
