LUCKE 514 Railroad Avenue, Wilmette Tel. Wilmette 2020-2021 It is e\'ening at the lake. I am li st ening to sound s, country sounds, up here on the hill. There is a little waterfall a short ways from us, and its quiet fall makes a constant soft sound of falling water. There is the sound of the slow movement of oars on the water. no. m . . tor boats are out. The last hit of colo r is vanishing from the sk \·. There is not a sound of a voice or . a footstep.
