A two mile swim across the lake was a holiday challenge for Garret
Jacobs ! Garret started his swim at 10:30am on Sunday, July 05 and
finished it at 11:34am the same day !! Garret was accompanied
by his Mom, Barbara Jacobs and friend Eric Plonczynski who
followed him in a kayak, making sure he was okay. Garret
started his swim from his grandparents cottage,
Harry(deceased) and Barbara Jacobs, located east of Lincoln Avenue
near the mouth of Indiana Pete Bayou.
Garret is a graduate of Ball State University, majoring in aquatics,
and is working with this program in Indianapolis.
The Jacobs family is now fourth generation on the lake, thanks to
William and Ann Lawrence who left them this wonderful legacy . Our
family spent many summers fishing and enjoying the fruits of their
labor keeping our property clean and beautiful for future
generations. The Jacobs will be celebrating fifty years at the lake
next year..so when you're passing by..give us a wave !
Barbara Jacobs and family
