10 Years Ago What exactly would tempt someone to arise at 5:30 am., grab onto a 75-foot length of kevlar-reinforced rope, jump into the lake wearing nothing but a wet suit and yell, "Hit it!?" The answer? Barefoot water skiing. On any given calm morning on Tippecanoe Lake one might find Bob Ragland, a captain with American Airlines; Patrick Pfefferkorn, a real estate agent for Century 21; and Jon Mark; an optometrist at Grossnickle Eye Center; exhibiting their idea of recreation. The three have become quite adept at deepwater front and back starts, one-foot fronts and backs and other advanced footinÕ techniques. 25 Years Ago At least six Warsaw Community Softball League teams will be going on to national or world series tournaments in various divisions for the National Softball Association.
