His son told him that, shortly before 7 p.m., he saw a duck boat headed for the lake.
The wind was coming in strong and the water was choppy.
“They’re not going in, are they?” Alonzo said. “I don’t think they’d be going in when it’s like this.”
By Friday morning Alonzo had heard what happened to the boat.
“They went in,” he said. “Stupid, I can’t understand that.”
