I'm very sorry to here about your friend CI and wish it did not happen. It is so sad to have this stuff happen. To you, his friends, and most of all his
family our prayers are out to you folks. I have not been around this but had a friend go to his armpits when a hole had opened up and was coverd with snow. We were glad to have been there to get him out. In a earlier post " amount of ice" I tried to suggest that the ice is bad here. Now our smaller lakes are" ice free " and we are finding that hard to believe it has been a strange year for us. But, still people are driving right by open
water in pick-up trucks. A no brainer but some it does not seem to bother!
I hope that no more will have to suffer from a loss like your friends and his
family did.
