Garth Gaskey, of Brookfield, who is known as the Polar President of Milwaukee, said he will call it quits after 60 consecutive years of taking wintertime plunges into the great lake, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Thursday. Advertisement "I'm getting old," Gaskey said. "I've got four stents in my heart. My toes turn black from staying in the water too long. My daughter is having a conniption fit. It's time I hang it up." The long-term forecast for the 2012 event calls for partly sunny skies and a high of 40 F. Although Gaskey said he plans for this to be his final plunge, he might still "get the itch" in the future.
