Name Change

The name of the Laidlaw River Restoration Project has been changed to the Lynn Path River Restoration Project.
A search into Pewaukee historical sources has revealed that the original quarter-mile long walkway was built by Jim Ackley Sr. on property he owned along the Pewaukee River in the early 1940's. It was named Lynn Path in honor of his wife, Anita Alma Luenzmann Ackley. (Her maiden name was pronounced Lynnsman.) The photo was taken about 1986 at the rededication of the path on its 22nd anniversary.
