Another New Year, Another Video

This year we started the year with a dip in the Deerfield River. A tradition of the Polar Bear Club. My father started a slightly more extreme version some years ago. Extreme in that a running river is colder and more dangerous than ocean water. After he died, the swim became a sort of memorial to him. Speaking of memorials, this past year we sent out letters to friends and family asking for donations to the James Arthur(is that spelled right?) Salem Endowment, for the American Indian College Fund. As of last count we've raised $19,639, which means we did it! I'll get back with more details, but my understanding is that each year the fund will provide a small piece of cash to a American Indian attending college.

Anyhow, here's the video:
