My friend Erin took the plunge last Saturday to benefit Oregon Special Olympics.  It was a high-energy event in Corvallis with a diverse cast of participants, teams including several city police, high school, college, business groups, etc.  Two police boats patrolled the river while several wet-suited emergency technicians stayed in the roped-off plunge area, just in case.     That's Erin gasping for breath on the left.  A stop-action shot instantly understood by the viewer:  Who would voluntarily do this?  People who support a wonderful cause by putting their beliefs into action.  Bravo to all! These Vikings were a fun group!
