A group of grateful paddlers sent a letter of appreciation to staff at Lock and Dam 8, near Genoa, Wisconsin, after receiving assistance when their canoe started taking on water due to choppy river conditions. Col. Karl Jansen, district commander, took the opportunity to present the letter to the team. “This is a great example of the capable and caring staff at our locks and dams putting PEOPLE FIRST in all they do. This is just one example of the many acts of kindness our staff display up and down the river each day,” Jansen said.
