About Alan Hoover Retired Air Force fighter pilot, test pilot, and Southwest Airlines Captain, I grew up in Kokomo, and water skied on Winona Lake as a kid. My wife and I split our time between Arizona (where we have horses) and Indiana (where we have grandkids). I race biplanes at Reno, NV at the National Championship Air Races. My wife owned a weaving shop in The Village of Winona before she retired. Alan Hoover purchased this House in 2010 Why Alan Hoover chose Winona Lake Two of ours sons married sisters from Winona Lake and when the opportunity came to buy the house on the water next to my best friend from high school, it was a win-win situation. In 2013 we decided to remodel the house because you cannot replace the view from Sunset Point. We were awarded "House of the Year, 2015" when it was finished. What makes this House unique Fabulous sunsets, incredibly friendly people, awesome community, great activities and outdoor areas and lake to play in, make this a wonderful place to build memories!
