Go USA: Mel and Nancy Gross watched the 100-year Kings Cup Regatta in Britain.

During a three-week trip to Scotland and England, Nancy and Mel Gross visited the holiest of holes for golf at St. Andrews before they joined their Brit friends in the Stewards’ Enclosure at the Henley Royal Regatta. The U.S. Armed Forces and the Bundeswehr German armed forces were vying for the King’s Cup on the 100th-year anniversary. As the rowing crews raced to the finish line, the Brits in the stands stood up and heartily cheered, “Go, U.S.A.! Go, U.S.A.!” repeatedly, making it a reality. The victory is one that Nancy and Mel won’t forget.
