Notes for this person
Chicago, Jan. 2 (AP) -- Richard Zirkle, 38, and Nicholas Dubois, 53, winter swimming enthusiasts, went to Lake Michigan for their first swim of 1946 Tuesday. They stripped to their trunks and after a sun bath on the ice, Dubois jumped into the icy water but scrambled out a minute later. Zirkle plunged into the water and disappeared. Navy and Coast Guard crews searched for his body. Dubois, who said he had been swimming every winter for the last 15 years, said he and Zirkle had swum together almost every week for the last year.
