Polar Bear Club in the Maumee River! I didn't know there was another  
LUGger in the Toledo area! Where are you? We live on the Quarry off  
Salisbury Rd in Maumee. My 19-year-old son and his buddies have been  
making an annual tradition of a New Year's dip off our deck.

I have a few shots taken in Side Cut Park during the colorful fall  
weather in my album on the Gallery.

Nice shot of your father, BTW, and a nice Christmas story to boot. He  
looks like he's determined to recover.
