Bio:
“I have always loved the “Wabash River”. I have
spent many hours swimming, fishing, boating and when
the water was low I would drive my old Model A Ford
into it and have a washing party. At times the river
is a beautiful sight. I present a glimpse of a small
portion of it on a early sunny summer morning.”
