member of the Wayzata Yacht Club. Known to all as Doc Sam, he loved
sailing and would spend the majority of his free time from spring to fall
sailing. He also enjoyed racing and had a persistence and "never quit"
attitude that was more important than wining and that he instilled and
encouraged in others.

annually to the sailor selected by the WYC race committee as one who has
demonstrated Doc Sam's love of sailing, love of racing and in particular
his persistence and "never quit" attitude during races.
