The skydiver is the only sane one of the bunch. Stepping out of a
Casa-212, at 12,500 feet, with 20 of your friends with you and
turning 4 or 5 points. Dumping the main at 2,000 and swooping in to
a perfect one point landing. Only thing better is the last load of
the day dumping the main at 6,000 reaching into your jumpsuit and
pulling out a beer or two and enjoying the peaceful ride. I sure do
miss skydiving.



Land on your head once too often?

Actually no, I never landed on my head from a skydive. In fact I never
had to use my reserve, 1700 jumps all landing on a main canopy. Do you
want to read the newspaper articles written about me and my skydiving?




You quit much too soon.

No, I quit just about the right time. There was a crash of a Beech B-65
Queen Air in West Point, VA in September of 1995 where I lost 8 very
good friends, 12 souls total were lost in that accident. I had about 500
jumps out of that plane.
