I grew up in South Haven MI, also a block from the beach.<BR/><BR/>There was one year here where we had a few absolutely windless days, and the lake actually froze in smooth, clear ice. Then we got some waves, and the ice broke up. It looked like a million pieces of glass floating out there, sharp corners up.<BR/><BR/>On Saturday, June 26, 1954 there was a big wave at Montrse harbor, seven people drowned. I found articles on this in the Chicago Tribune and the New York Times. I just put them on my little blog:<BR/><BR/>fosterbeachchicago.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>This is the first time I've done this, but when I clicked on the pic on the blog, it magnified right up to where it was easily readable.<BR/><BR/>You have a great site.<BR/><BR/>Arn Nelson at Foster Beach, Chicago<BR/>(next beach north of Montrose beach)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
