The oldest jumper was Chuck Hanson from the
Brainerd VFW.
You see him in the left photo with Tess and Mac from Hubbard Radio. Chuck was an Air Force Para rescue diver and received a silver star for saving a downed pilot while under enemy fire in Vietnam. The youngest, on the right was interviewed by Tess. |

One hundred or more spectators watched as their loved ones and
friends took the plunge. |

| See, it wasn't so bad after all. |

 |
| One policeman, dripping wet, did high-fives with spectators. |
