[QUOTE="wby257, post: 263558, member: 1035"] I was 10 yrs old in the summer of 1969 and living in Oakes N.D. My Mom had just given my brother and I 25 cents to go to the swimming pool. We took the money and bought candy and pop and decided to go to the river and swim. Its 3/4 mile west of Oakes on the railroad track. We left are bikes by the tracks and walked out there. Now it my brother and Billy and Bobby Pier. Were standing on the bridge and know ones wants to be the first to bail off the bridge. Were maybe 12 to 15 ft from the water and me having more guts than brains said I will. I dove off the bridge and hit something in the water. When I came up I was just about out, I was seeing stars. And I remember hearing them screaming hes bleeding. It was like the movie Jaws, blood all over. I forgot how to swim or maybe just out of it from hitting my head. I remember going down a few times and pushed off from the bottom to shore. My brother came down off the bridge and gave me my shirt. I was wiping the blood out of my eyes and we took off for town. We ran to town and the blood was unbelievable. We stopped at 3 houses and know one was home and you never go in a house unless your invited, so we went from house to house. We finally walked in a house and my brother called my Mom and said I was hurt real bad. I remember taking a dish towel and wiping the blood off my face.
