Uncle Jimmy was a Frogman in Korea, I think they were the beginning of the Navy Seals. He helped my brother and I learn the basics of swimming when the only pool in Montrose was one of the lakes at Chipeta. He would swim under water with us on his back. As a kid I was kind of scared for him being totally under the water, but we always had fun with him and Dad.
