Lake Papakeechie
Frank Nyikos' place is on Lake Papakeechie at 9065 E. Circle Drive S. just south of Syracuse, in northeastern Indiana. It is a quiet little lake, just off Indiana State Highway 13, where all motor boats are banned. It is a place of great serenity. You can look out over the water and see ducks swimming and a great blue heron standing on its long legs in a shallow place looking for fish to spear with his beak. |

Frank Nyikos coming out the door from his dining room. This is the side of the house away from the lake. Large windows on the other side look out over a short stretch of green grass and trees that leads down to the waters of the lake. |
Frank had invited a large group of people over to eat hamburgers cooked on a charcoal grill on his porch. Frank is on the left and Glenn Chesnut is just sitting down on the right. In back (in the center) is Bob Peden from Goshen, Indiana. |

Another view of Lake Papakeechie. It is so quiet and serene that all you can hear are the birds singing. |
