Penguin Plunge
By Dan Law
February 2012
Until this year, I had never paid much attention to the organized New Year's Day tradition of taking a swim or plunge into
the ocean. Well, this year my wife, Teresa, and several of our close friends announced they were going to take the plunge, so
I decided, since this year's proceeds would be donated to our new local Hospice House project, I would attend to report and
photograph the event.
The Penguin Plunge event required either preregistration online or registration in person on the morning of New Year's Day.
The registration form stated there was a $5 minimum donation to participate, and there were t-shirts available with a logo of
the event for donations of $20 or more. We all decided to wait until the morning of the plunge to register, and I was very sur
prised to see all of the families who came to register at the Crab's Claw Restaurant that morning.

If you go to the Vietnam Veterans
Memorial (also known as The Wall) in
Washington DC, you'll see the names
of the 58,272 service men and women
who were killed or missing in action
during the Vietnam War. The names
appear on the wall in chronological
order based on the date of their death.
One name on the wall, that of PFC Dan
Bullock, has been found to be quite
unique and controversial as some have
stated that his name is on the wall be
cause he lied. It's true, PFC Bullock did
lie, but it's far from the truth to declare
that fact as the reason his name is on
the wall.
Dan Bullock was born in Goldsboro,
and when he was 11, his mother died,
so he moved to New York to live with
The Pine Knotl Shores Radio Station broadcasts 24 hours a day
