NEGAUNEE -- Several swimmers took on Teal Lake Sunday morning on a windy, three-mile swim, and they did it to honor the memory of a good friend.
Organizer Lisa Wetton wanted to keep the memory of her dear friend, Linda Halverson, alive. Linda passed away in a boating accident two years ago. The group is also raising money to benefit the Beacon House in Marquette. Years ago, Linda stayed at a similar place when she needed help with her premature babies.
"Linda was always a caring, loving person and I just feel like I need to give something in her memory. I just want her memory to carry on," said Lisa Wetton. "I feel the Beacon House was something that was important to her."
