My personal message:

Thank you so much for visiting and hopefully sponsoring me in the 2008 Special Olympics Vermont Penguin Plunge!

On February 9, I will be joining my fellow Chiefs Of Police, Sheriff's, Federal Law Enforcement, The States Attorney, Troop A Williston State Police Commander, the Attorney General of Vermont, jumping into the icy waters of Lake Champlain!

As I dive in, I will be thinking about this past summer at Oak Beach and the warm memories ...That is the only way I will survive.

If you can  sponsor me, it is for a great cause..Special Olympics Vermont and our wonderful athletes. I also know it is a busy time and lots of charities are asking, so NO OBLIGATION . In any case, keep warm feelings coming my way on February 9th, 2008.

My goal was  $3000.00 in three weeks but thanks to everyone's generosity we met that goal and moved the bar which called for an adjustment. Thanks to all who allowed me to reach my initial goal!

Please pass this page on to anyone you think might help me raise the cash for the athletes. I truly am inspired by them, their hard work and spirit!

Thanks and "Burrrrrrrr". I will be back in touch after the plunge..
