Boat builder Dick Stephens and the Folly II

This year’s Stephens Yacht Rendezvous, an every-other-year event, decided to honor renowned boat designer and scion of the Stockton family legacy Dick Stephens on the occasion of his 100th birthday. A water parade of classic Stephens Marine boats made its way Sunday past the Calaveras River home of Stephens and his family, with Stephens joining the fun aboard the lead boat Folly II. That's Stephens sitting in a wheelchair at the bow as the Folly II docks at downtown Stockton's Waterfront Warehouse. [CALIXTRO ROMIAS/The Stockton Record]
