1995 QLD GPS Head of the River
The 73rd boys Head of the River was conducted on Saturday 25th March 1995 at Lake Wivenhoe, Queensland.
The Five seat in the First VIII Anglican Church Grammar School, Angus P. Schmidt, completed three generations of Schmidt family representing Churchie in the GPS Head of the River.
J.C. Schmidt rowed in the 1st IV in 1928 and was Captain of Rowing in 1929. Three of his sons rowed for Churchie, namely, Peter Schmidt who was captain of Rowing and a member of the 1st VIII in 1960, Bruce who rowed in the 1st VIII in 1961, 1962, 1963 wining in his last year and Penrod who rowed in the 1st VIII in 1966. Two of Bruce’s sons have rowed for the School. Simon, a member of the 2nd VIII in 1985, was unable to row in 1986 so he coached a crew and finally Angus rowed in the 1st VIII in 1995.
To commemorate their long service Boatshed Maintenance officer, Anglican Church Grammar School named the new four oared addition to the School's fleet after Ken Baird or as Ken was known around the sheds, the Boatman.
Baird's craftmanship with timer was superlative and the repair work he did on the hulls of some of the timber eigths was truly outstanding. Ken’s real love though was oars and as he was in the shed at the changing of the eras from wooden oars to carbon fibre, the last of Churchie's wooden oars were immaculate to the last. Ken took a wider interest in the shed, making the flagpole for regattas from a broken oar and making a shield on which to record the kilometres covered in training by the different age groups.
The Ken Baird would be on full display at the 1995 Head of the River.
