Letter: Former resident Dave Scoles comments on Riley Creek swimming hole

Posted by Fred Steiner on August 28, 2020 - 10:25am

Icon viewers:
It was nice to read about the "old swimming hole" on Riley Creek. My brothers Russell and Jim and some local friends spent a lot of days in the water just before the dam.  I appreciate keeping up with the Bluffton Icon. We lived at 327 Cherry St. and then moved to Colorado in 1953.  

Thanks forthe memory.
