    Default Zip it!


    You boys down there make sure you zip those life jackets every time that big motor is runnin. We lost 3 men up here this week. Two on Truman, and one on Smithville. None of them had a lifejacket on.

    They arn't sure about either yet. The 2 on Truman were both experienced on the water. The one on Smithville was 72 and a very strong swimmer according to his family. All 3 bodies have been recovered.
