John M. Weisenberger, 19, student, saved Stanley J. Egan, 17, messenger, from drowning, Covington, Kentucky, May 23,1921. Stanley was seized with cramp in his legs while swimming in deep water in an abandoned quarry 50 feet from the bank. He threshed and moved to within 30 feet of the bank. Wiesenberger, who was a very poor swimmer, his right leg being somewhat crippled, swam about 35 feet to Stanley and was submerged as he reached to take hold of Stanley. Upon rising, Weisenberger grasped Stanley around the neck and swam with great effort about 37 feet to wadable water with him and then dragged him to the bank. 21484-1824
