neeznbreeze 0 #1 July 3, 2004 A memorial service for John Choate will be held on Saturday July 10, 2004 at 3:00pm. Location is the Christ United Methodist Church in College Station. Their address is 4201 Highway 6 South. Telephone number is 979-690-4673. They are located in south College Station between Greens Prairie and Rock Prairie Roads. Following the memorial service, an Ash Dive has been tentatively scheduled to take place at Skydive Aggieland, Coulter Field Airport in Bryan. This is Skydive Aggieland's busiest time of the year as one can imagine. This is one of the reasons the jump is tentative. And, you never know what the weather will do. Honoring John Choate's wishes, planned is at least a four-way (with John) w/video. Jumpers will be Richard Fisher, Mike Mitchum, John Rich, and Chuck Wagner. Videographer has not been named yet. We also plan to have refreshments provided at the Coulter Terminal. That's if the weather is nice and the jump is a go. If the weather turns bad and the jump is off, we'll have the refreshments at the Church. Angie Morehead Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shark 0 #4 July 7, 2004 Thank you for sharing the letter. I did not know John, but I knew of him from Rich, Mikey & Jenny. He sounds very much like a very nice, and courageous man; one who I'd like to have a beer with; Shiner, of course. Blue skies forever, John!
