The River News image isn't really necessary, but who could resist that drawing?

Dams, dams, dams. In the early 1950s, my father had a garage that he didn't need, built into the side of a hill, separate from his and my mother's house. He tore down the garage, and decided to turn the garage's foundation into a swimming pool. How did he deal with the open space in the foundation where the garage door had been? He pulled out his father Will's fifty-year-old book on dams, and built a dam across the opening in the garage foundation. Here's something that Daddy didn't learn from his father's book: he put a box spring under the floor in one corner of the pool to create a shallower area for the smaller kids.
That pool was a wonderful part of my childhood.
