A couple of severe rains in the past couple of weeks have closed the lakes due to high water levels. Four inches of rain this past Friday and Saturday have put Cordry on "Yellow" and Sweetwater on "Red."
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.
