This issue’s cover families share their stories
For the Dupree and Masters families, living on Lake Logan Martin is
fun year-round, especially in the summer. Their children and friends are
pictured on this issue’s cover enjoying a summer afternoon on the water.
For Leah Dudley, life on the lake has always been a part of her life.
“I grew up coming to the lake and now when we have family come and
visit us, it is really sweet to make those memories all over again with
our kids.” For their family, including children Blaize and Celine, living on
the lake provides many opportunities to spend time together, whether
out on the boat, entertaining or enjoying dinner at their favorite willow
tree by the water.
Janna Masters has lived on the lake all of her life and it was a natural
decision for Janna and her husband to raise their daughter, Logan,
pictured on the cover here at the lake. “We are always out and about
on the water, spending time with friends and enjoying the lake,” said
Masters, “We really have so much to be thankful for.”

Shorelines - Published by Alabama Power for the pleasure of our great
lake lovers.
Water Whys
A few of our favorite things
Family and friends. Faith and forever. Foliage
and fireworks. Fishing, food and fellowship.
These are a few of our favorite things, and they
fall wonderfully into place along the shorelines
of Alabama’s lakes. They are the “whys” the lake is not just
a place we visit, but is a part of who we are – our heritage,
our memories, a sturdy strand of our DNA. It’s the “whys” we
gather here – along the common thread that binds our diverse
tastes and interests into the eclectic tapestry of our lives.
So, it’s no wonder that we promise our forevers here. We
worship and plant roots in a backdrop of beauty and inspiration
here. We protect our feathered and flattened friends here. We
fend for our friends and family here. And we feed our Southern
souls here.
In this issue of Shorelines, the people and pictures of Alabama
lakes tell their stories. Each is unique and special, but there
are generations of tales that can be told as beautifully. We
have brought you a few, and we hope they find you recounting
fond memories of family and friends of your own.
Enjoy!
