CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — On the walls of Harvard’s Weld Boathouse, here on the banks of the Charles River, among the dozens of photos of women’s crews gone by, is evidence of how long Gevvie Stone has been around the sport of rowing.
Look at the black-and-white team picture of the 1984-85 Radcliffe varsity heavyweights. There, in the back row, is the coach, Lisa Stone. That’s Gevvie’s mom. She’s wearing maternity overalls.
“There I am,” Gevvie Stone said last week, pointing at her mom’s round middle, “in her belly!”
That was 30 years ago. Of course Stone gravitated to the water.
