Float Plane Crashes At Puslinch Lake

51-year-old Ron HARPER of Puslinch Township was the lone occupant and operator of the privately owned float plane. He was brought safely to shore by a boater after freeing himself from the submerged plane suffering only minor cuts and bruises. The plane remains submerged and arrangements are being made to remove it.
