Wilf B Mole

Brisbane Rowing Club which later became GPSOB Rowing Cub (QLD)

Jack Pritchard in his book Rowing in Queensland noted his death in 1986-87 season and offered the following tribute: During the year the death occurred of Honorary Life Member, Wilf Mole. He was possibly best remembered as stroke of the winning 1939 winning King's Cup crew. He was Honorary Secretary of the Q.A.R.C. from 1948 to 1950, Honorary Treasurer from 1959 to 1965 and retained a keen interest in rowing activities throughout his life, and his cheerful presence would be sorely missed.
