Rescued from watery grave while skating near Cedar Rapids
A Cedar Rapids skating mishap ended in rescue when Mr and Mrs Harl Brichard fell through thin Cedar River ice near Cedar River Park. Four artesian well drillers formed a human chain and, with driftwood as temporary support, pulled the couple to shore. Firemen arrived later to escort the exhausted pair home. Both were shaken but unharmed beyond exhaustion. Brichard had honeymooned two months earlier and works as an engineer for Winds Central.
