From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 8, 1975:

Harold Crady Sr. and Harold Crady Jr. were both praised in a Journal-World article this week for saving a man from drowning in the cold waters of a local lake, but their main concern was not to get credit for saving the man but to emphasize the importance of boaters wearing life jackets. The two Cradys had been fishing at Leavenworth County State Lake near Tonganoxie when they noticed a commotion nearby, where a sailboat’s occupant appeared to be having trouble trying to pull someone from the water. Responding to the scene, the two men saw a canoe had capsized, throwing both its occupants into the water. One canoeist had made it to shore, but the other was face-down in the water. “I think if we’d been there 20 seconds later he would have gone,” the elder Crady said. He said his son Hal had jumped into the water (wearing a life jacket) and had pulled the man to safety, while the elder Crady went ashore and got their car heater started. “Hal got cold too, but nothing like that fellow,” Crady commented. “We just felt glad to be around…. We never did get a name. We did tell him he better learn to wear a life jacket when he’s boating — it was the difference in his life — and he agreed he’d never make the mistake again.”
