Jameson completes Mackinac Bridge swim

Omena resident Lee Jameson decided to challenge himself and give back to his community this summer when he decided to swim the Mackinac Bridge during a fundraiser in July.

Jameson was accompanied by his wife Barbara Nelson-Jameson and his daughter, Emily Jameson, who traveled from Washington to watch her father.

“My daughter was a big motivator. She started swimming at the age of 5 all the way through high school. I’ve always enjoyed swimming. I’ve always enjoyed being in the water,” he said. “It was her turn to watch me after we went to all her swimming meets while she was growing up.”
