Lee in the “SWIM” of it!

LeeAldrich, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida – we lived across the street from Lake Melba, which was 60 foot deep  and you see him in his swim trunks – Lee and his friend Arthur,  would sneak across the street and play in one of the neighbor’s boats.  One afternoon the boat got loose and the boys were out in the middle of Lake Melba – the boat was rocking and they were scared and yelling for help! My husband had to swim out and bring the boat and the boys in to safety!

The next week, my husband took little Lee to the  YMCA – to have someone teach him to swim – the Instructor reported back to us that “LEE” was part “FISH” – he was able to do everything so easy and not afraid of the water at all. In no time at all – Lee was jumpiing off the “HIGH DRVE” and the Instructor told us  – he would be glad to continue instructing Lee with the swimming lessons – but Lee was a “NATURAL” born swimmer!
