A Marine from suburban Lockport who saved a woman Monday at an Indiana beach said this evening that he didn't want to return to shore without the woman's friend, who also went into Lake Michigan when a raft the two were on capsized.

"I'm humbled by the praise and recognition, but I'm pretty sad that I wasn't able to help both of them," Marine 2nd Lt. Nicholas Dominguez said in a telephone interview.
