He was a strong swimmer but the other boy he was with was not and they both perished. They were rowing the boat to get groceries in Glen Arbor. My Uncle's name was Glen Cheney. My Grandfather Calvin farmed an apple orchard there on Miller Hill in the early 1900's. I didn't know the look out was accessible now to the public? As a boy my brothers and I helped our father clear the brush away on the lookout. The picture brings back a lot of memories.
