TheBachelor 5 #3 February 22, 2008 To spot the same way most people do at large dropzones, he could either have his dog watch for the green light, or wait for 15-to idiots to yell "get out!" Heck, they're not watching the spot, so it would be no difference for him... [/rant]There are battered women? I've been eating 'em plain all of these years...

JakGramley 2 #9 February 23, 2008 Lori - Great article, but one of Dan Rossi's greatest skydiving achievements was getting his CRW 4 stack. Best of all, he wasn't part of the base/pin. He docked 3rd. I was his seeing eye CRW dog on that jump. Dan actually made the dock with a bit of verbal coaching. Dan is incredible, as is John Fleming. I was on the ground radio when John had one of his reserve rides. John handled it with ease with just a bit of coaching from the ground.
