On Wednesday, February 10, 2016, I was lucky enough to see Diana Nyad speak about her book, her life and her drive. Diana spent a summer swimming at Ak-O-Mak in preparation for her swim across Lake Ontario in 1970. Buck Dawson is credited with introducing Diana to marathon swimming. In her autobiography, Find a Way, she talks about a quote that she comes across and posts on her wall for years, “A diamond is a lump of coal that stuck with it.” Her primary speech topic was... “What will you do with your one precious life?” Libby Ernharth, Ak-O-Mak Alumni
