Leisure's Memory, bay, foaled 1967 by Maxinkuckee

Offpring of Maxinkuckee:
Roundy's Lass's first foal, Roundy's Kid, was a brown filly by Maxinkuckee, a stallion at stud in Western Canada. Roundy's Kid became a champion 2YO in the west.

Roundy's Lass's second foal, Flying Award, a chestnut gelding also by Maxinkuckee, was an iron horse, winning or placing in 13 stakes and racing until he was a 10YO, with over 90 starts.

The next Maxinkuckee offspring was Timber Topper, a brown gelding who raced into his 7th year, winning or placing in 20 stakes. He earned about $90,000, a large amount for western Canada.

Forestry, the next offspring of Roundy's Lass by Maxinkuckee, was "only" stakes placed, racing into his seventh year, also a gelding.

There were three more Maxinkuckee foals from this mare: Diamond Hostess, a chestnut filly who would only place at two, Roundy's Ember, a bay filly who was a stakes-placed winner, and, finally, Timber Tramp, a chestnut gelding, who would only win a maiden. Roundy's Lass's producing energy had run out.

Lake Maxinkuckee, Indiana's second largest natural lake at 1,854 acres, has its best walleye fishing in June and July with an average size caught at 15.1 inches. In 1996, Maxinkuckee anglers harvested 3,198 walleye and released an additional 2,848, making the 1996 creel survey the highest ever documented at the lake. The survey also indicated that more than a third of the lake's anglers were pursuing walleye.

Maxinkuckee Lake is located at the town of Culver near State Roads 10 and 17 in Marshall County. Public access is free, but parking spaces are limited. Outboard motors are permitted. Maxinkuckee has been stocked with two-inch fingerlings (100 fish per acre) the last seven years - Lehnen's Indiana Outdoors


Lake Maxinkuckee, Indiana’s second largest lake, became a resort community beginning in the 1870s and the area continues to be a summer vacation spot today. Fishermen began visiting the area in the 1860s-1870s. Groups from different cities formed “clubhouses”—groups from Plymouth, Peru and Indianapolis created these private hotels. The clubhouses gave way to small hotels, boarding houses, and private residences. The oldest houses around the lake are on the east shore, the west shore was developed after World War I and the south shore since World War II

University of Kentucky - Blue Grass Wiriting Project - Storytelling - Storytelling has been around since the beginning of time. It was a way to preserve thoughts, ideas, morals as well as hand down historical events. Eventually these events and thoughts were put into a written format. Today, technology has allowed us to put a new twist on our thoughts, ideas, writing and storytelling. It allows us to enhance our writing with pictures and music. Included on this page are some resources for digital storytelling as well as samples digital stories that Fellows of the Bluegrass Writing Project have produced.

Our technology project for the Bluegrass Writing Project Institute 2003 was to create a digital story. Fellows worked diligently during the Institute to complete their digital stories using Microsoft Power Point. If you do not have Microsoft Power Point on your computer, please go Microsoft web site for a free download of the Power Point Viewer. Note: some of the presentations are large files, please be patient while it loads. It is well worth the wait. Enjoy!

Perkins, Samuel Elliot III. Collection, 1896-1938. P 0053. Approximately 200 black-and-white snapshots made or collected by Samuel Elliot Perkins III between 1896 and 1938. The photographs have a documentary quality. Perkins made photographs of soldiers departing for World War One, and attempted to capture bicycle racers in motion. He successfully photographed the racers standing beside their bicycles. Perkins annotated a number of photographs with the month, date, time, and prevailing weather conditions. Bridges, parks, and views of the White River are featured in snapshots of Indianapolis. Perkins also photographed automobiles, particularly on journeys with this family across Indiana. It may have been on these journeys that he photographed covered bridges and natural features in Adams, Wayne, Washington, Franklin, and Brown Counties. A small number of photographs are affixed to the verso of letters addressed to Perkins. Samuel Elliot Perkins IV donated the collection to the Indiana Historical Society in 1975.

Richard Gwyn Davies author of Swords at Culver (Unlimited Publishing 2006).- a teacher at Culver Military Academy [teaches humanities, myth, literature and popular culture], 1959 graduate of Valparaiso High School and 1963 graduate of DePauw University, Master's at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, Ph.D. from Indiana University. After a stint in the Peace Corps, Davies taught at Culver, returned to school to get his masters. He also taught in south Wales and spent two years at Oxford before returning to Culver in 1974.

This rousing story is set in the cornfields of Northern Indiana where two boys are cadets at the starkly real secondary school named Culver Military Academy. They embark on an epic adventure involving two swords - the Bronze Age blade used by King David and Excalibur belonging to King Arthur. While unfolding the the mystical fantasy story, cadets Tim Marks who is American and Merthyn Jones who is Welsh; are attacked by a group followers of a malevolent goddess belonging to the Native American cult group ther adventure takes them to many familiar Indiana landmarks. After they survive the initial attack, they encounter the fearsome water monster Heganzi rising from the depths of Lake Maxinkuckee, and kill it using swords that they later learn are Excalibur and the sword of the biblical King David. They also are assaulted by a shape changer in their dormitory, then afterwards both boys prepare to become initiates of the Midewewin Native American society and postulants for knighthood. They are assisted by their faculty mentor and his colleagues, the cadets prevail against formidable challenges to bring the story to a satisfying conclusion. Or do they?
