“Standing on the Memphis banks of the mighty Mississippi River – the Great Brown God in T.S. Eliot’s words – watching the swift, remorseless, volcanic rush of the waters.

Minnesota
“Lake City MN is the birth place of Waterskiing. 1922 – Waterskiing invented at Lake Pepin by Ralph Samuelson, who strapped on a pair of pine boards and took off behind a motorboat. ” – Ishannon
