Special to the Times Vedette
Bill and Sue Jesse of Lake Panorama were honored to have Darlys Leicht, who will soon be 94, riding on their pontoon. Leicht set a new record for a rider’s age on their pontoon, which they purchased in 2005 after buying their property in 2004. The youngest rider was their 4-month-old granddaughter on her first ride.
Leicht had moved to Iowa from Olympia, Washington, six days prior to this ride. She said she wanted to live closer to her daughter and her husband. Lake Panorama was the first Iowa water Leicht had ever been on. She said she enjoyed the lake tour — a sunny spring day with 75 degrees and no wind — and viewing the beautiful homes and properties.
