The beautiful A-frame home at the end of Hackberry Drive burned in November. Work is now underway to clean up the property. The remains of the house have been removed and the trees that were singed appear to be being removed also.
I came to Cordry Sweetwater Lakes in 1952 as a youngster with my parents who bought a lot on what is now Lion Drive. We also had a cottage on East Lake in Prince's Lakes. I grew up playing on East Lake and later Cordry and Sweetwater Lakes. In 1988, I earned a real estate sales license and started selling lakes properties on a part time basis. In 2001, I purchased Sweetwater Realty from Carol Catt and brokered the business until 2008 when I sold my interest in the company. I have continued to promote sales on my own as an independent broker at Sweetwater Realty.
