RoysPlayThing 0 #1 August 30, 2004 So it has been almost a year now that I have had the privilege to meet and get to know the Byron Dropzone family... I have grown close to many of them, and I am so happy for those who have opened their hearts to me so completely. Lots of you know about my situation, and why I can't skydive at this time... .. but I love to be around the sport, and around my sweetie while he is skydiving for the both of us. I love to capture the skydiving, the smiles, the love, and strength that burst out at this place with film and video.. but a camera is no comparison to being there in person. It is like no other place I have ever known... like no place I will ever know in my life... and it is all because of the people. Vic & Connie are the Heart ... and everyone else is the love and air around them. Thank you Byron for opening up your home to me.... I hope to play up in the sky with you some day. Here are a few pictures of the byron family from this weekend... and also a new member that got a cool new way to ring in his 100th jump ... Welcome to Byron Duane! This Thread was just to thank you... for everything. Lany_______________________________________________ My mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open.

rmsmith 1 #3 August 30, 2004 You have to appreciate those around you in this sport as they can be taken away so easily. I've never been to Byron yet, but I was an Antioch skydiver back in the seventies...great times. Thanks for the pix! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have rolling green hills in winter and spring. Pleanty of water on the delta for your wake boarding and wind surfing pleasure. Oh. And guess what? We jump in the winter. Maybe you can head south when you get sick of the rain. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
