Lynn Alfred III WILLIAMS

Lynn Williams (crew) and Dick Stearns (helmsman) formed a pairing from the Chicago YC to take the silver medals in the Star class at the 1964 Olympics. They started slowly in the first two races, placing only seventh and eighth, but finished strongly to win the silver. Williams had previously won titles at the 1962 Worlds and the 1960 North Americans and Western Hemisphere Championships. Williams was a graduate of the University of Chicago and was an engineer by profession.
