Every two years, our family had two months home leave to come back to the states to visit friends and family. In 1966 we stayed in a rented cabin on the Homosassa River where family came to visit us for a change. Craig was 2 years old at the time and fascinated by what he could see in the water. It was the summer that Bob and I were married nearby in Crystal River. I remember standing on that dock with Bob - Craig was hanging over the dock looking underneath while Bob and I were looking out for manatees. I glanced down to check on Craig and he was in the water! Without thinking, I jumped into the water, fully dressed, to fish him out. After a couple sputters, he was ready to resume his watch... It's one of those stories that has made its way into family history and shows Craig's early fascination with water.
HaHa - Busted! And why am I not surprised? Acting "like foolish teenagers?" Nothing new here. 😉
