There has been a lot of talk on this discussion, and in others about "what has happened to todays youth." But there have to be bright spots; there are great kids out there. Today in Kingston, 14 yr. old Natalie Lambert swam Lake Ontario. She swam the 57 kilometers from Sacket's Harbor NY to Confederation Basin in Kingston, becoming the youngest person ever to swim the lake, and she did it in the fastest time. She did it not for the record book, but for charity, for a local swim club for young people with disabilities. For the last part of her swim she was joined in the water by her sister Jenna. Last year Jenna made the same swim for the same charity. Jenna is crippled, she walks with difficulty on crutches. Their parents were behind them and with them all the time. What wonderful kids! What a great family! And what an example they set! Kingstonians are proud of their achievement. There are great kids out there, and it is reassuring to know that.
