Body:	<i>One of our summer past times was to head south of town to swim in the canals and take a cold dip in the pump basins. The well water came up cold,clean and clear into a small concrete basin before it dumped in to the canal. George Rundle, Greg Campbell, Doug Yount and a few others would load up the car with watermelon and cantaloupe ( that we bought from the Ethington brothers) and spend the afternoon under the shade of a big old mature cottonwood. The watermelon and cantaloupe would bob in the pump basin cooling down as we swam and tubed the canal. We even tried water skiing in the canal behind Georges Fairlane. The water was cleaner then. Today SRP would arrest you for trespassing. There was a place where 3 canals came together and created somewhat of a whirlpool. The idea was to jump in get tossed around and hopefully shot out the other end. Some how no one broke any bones or got dead. Good times. Fond memories. </i> *
