I made my first jump on Memorial Day, in 1976. Needless to say, it was a very memorable day, and it set a course for the rest of my life. Some people say that "Skydiving" is an addiction and I couldn't agree more. There is no feeling on earth better than falling through the air and taking in the majesty of creation. All week long I constantly look skyward, wondering what the weekend will bring. I've met many great people in this activity, and made many lifelong friends. I only hope God has a dropzone in heaven.
