ACMESkydiver 0 #2 August 13, 2004 I'll be there Sunday and perhaps Friday... Why have I not met you, Rhonda?? Then again, I am a typically week-day jumper...so I don't get to meet a lot of peeps that just jump on weekends.~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

SkyDolphin 0 #3 August 13, 2004 QuoteWhy have I not met you, Rhonda?? I don't really spend much time at the DZ these days and mostly used to jump at Kapowsin. I was there for the ash dive last weekend. You may have met my husband, Richard, AKA Big Daddy. Rhonda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaoskitty 0 #4 August 13, 2004 I didn't know him, but I'm sitting here at work looking at his website and trying not to cry! (no crying at work!) A boogie is a really cool way to honor and remember your friend.. I hope you have a great time! I'm sure you will feel him in the sky with you even more so than you already do. Blue skies, Kristi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACMESkydiver 0 #5 August 13, 2004 I was there too. Too bad I didn't know who you were or I would have said 'Hi'...I did a few jumps that day, right before and the sunset load right after the ash dive.~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

SkyDolphin 0 #6 August 13, 2004 Thanks Kristi, It's not to cry when you read his website. I still cry when I read it and I was there through most of it. He was such a remarkable person. Words can never do him justice. Rhonda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livendive 8 #7 August 13, 2004 Hey Rhonda...Looks like you guys gave him a good send-off (and I hope that zoomie guy bought beer!). I really liked this line from the webpage: QuoteHis oncologist, Dr. Picozzi said to us when we found out that the cancer had returned, that “everyone should live their life through a cancer patients eyes” and that is exactly what we did and what Ben would want all of us to do.

SkyDolphin 0 #8 August 24, 2004 The boogie is this weekend. Hope to see you all there. Rhonda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACMESkydiver 0 #9 August 26, 2004 Bump again with a link to Skydive Snohomish for the boogie. Unfortunately it doesn't look like they've put anything on the website about the boogie, but if anyone's new in town, it will give you directions, etc... Pray for some sunshine, we're looking at some pretty stubborn clouds right now...~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.
