Hi. I've been racking my memory from 45-plus years ago with regard to a wooden diving platform atop a metal structure from which I and some neighborhood kids dived/jumped from in - I think but am not certain - Big Hill Lake a few miles outside Cherryvale. The platform was not connected to a pier if I recall, and one had to swim out aways to get to a ladder leading to the actual platform. This is not life-threatening but it's one of those nagging memory things that have been keeping me awake nights.

IS or WAS there such a platform in the above lake mentioned?

You might join and post on the FB page “Kansas History Geeks.” I can just about guarantee someone will be able to answer you there.

Good suggestion. I'll give that a try. Thanks!

Well, my attempt to join the team at 'Kansas History Geeks' was rejected ...no reason given. I wasn't even given the opportunity to answer the questions that they require to be answered. It appears to have been an automatic rejection.

Hi. Just a quickie. My application to join the Kansas History Geeks Facebook Page has been approved.

My goodness, I thought they were going to ask for a police clearance certificate.

A friend (since deceased) of mine in Chanute looked (and sounded) the image of Ethel Mertz.

To Bayarea4, yes, when I first met Carla, circa 1973, I thought I had just run into Vivian Vance. Other locals who were familiar with "I Love Lucy" (which would have been most of them) thought Carla was an Ethel Mertz look-alike (and sound-alike) also. She and her husband, Gerald, operated Olson Heating & Air in Chanute. Her son (then 12 year-old Brian) was the drummer in our local band, Shilo Canyon.

^ Probably more info than was necessary . . .
