Hanks, Kenan, Jul 20, 1972

"Supt. William N. Burgen, Coulee Dam National Recreation Area, reported that 12 year old Kenan Hanks was accidentally drowned while swimming at Fort Spokane late Friday afternoon. Witnesses reported that the young man attempted to go down a swim slide standing up, lost his balance, fell and struck his head on the base of the slide. Lifeguards began searching immediately but were hampered by murky water which limited visibility to only a few feet. They were later joined by Bureau of reclamation scuba divers out of Coulee Dam who searched until dark. National Park Service Rangers continued searching until midnight when dragging operations were suspended to allow the water to clear for scuba divers the next day. Divers from the Spokane County Emergency Underwater Rescue Unit finally located the body Saturday afternoon. Young Hanks was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Irving Hickey of Elk, WA. The family had been at Fort Spokane for a picnic and swim when the accident occurred." (Dav. Times: 7-20-1972)
