Merry Frey

I am a retired Physical Therapist and avid exerciser (walking, cycling, step and water aerobics, yoga). I volunteer at church, the local food bank, and make donation quilts as well as quilts for family and friends. I was introduced to rowing by my husband when we started a business selling shells. Tom’s love of rowing continued to grow and I finally tried rowing doubles with him. We rowed in a few regattas in TX and AR. Our children were young and it was challenging to row in regattas. We continued to support Tom by attending regattas and being his cheering squad. I have rowed on the concept 2 machine on and off over the years.

In February 2026 when some members of the USNA class of ‘75 put together a team of men to set Concept 2 World Records, I was right there to support my husband and his classmates. Goats Row is expanding in 2027 and I look forward to participating as a member of the Lady GOATs to raise awareness of these deserving charities and promote financial support for them.
