TopLeft Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Just finished reading this in the paper (Columbus "Disgrace" by the way!). Very sad to claim the lives of kids. When we teach Ice Diving in quarries with divers, we always attract the attention of people who ask many questions. A wise ODNR employee got us hooked on the adage "Thick and blue, tried and true; Thin and crispy, way too risky." Though it doesn't provide 100% security, especially with moving water as seen on the banks. I can't imagine the grief that family is experiencing now...
