wendybird 0 #1 February 9, 2004 We have more folks in need. Bo and Paula Coody, owners of Sydive Goshen (now Indiana Skydive Academy) lost all of their student gear, tandem rigs and personal gear in a fire at the building they store the equipment in for the cold season (here we call that everything but July). The only thing skydive-related they have left are 2 canopies that were out for repair and a pull up cord. This could mean the end of business for them unless they are able to recover a fair amount of the cost of the lost equipment. If anyone is interested in helping out by donating equipment or money, please let me know as soon as you can.

quade 4 #2 February 9, 2004 Do you have a way for us to contact them directly? I think most folks would like to deal directly with them as opposed to a third party.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wendybird 0 #6 February 11, 2004 Hey guys -- Thanks to the people that have contacted the DZ owners or me about donating equipment -- but please tell all your friends and fellow jumpers (if they're not one in the same) that Indiana Skydiving Academy is still in dire need of anything they can get if they're going to reopen this spring. Imagine your DZ losing literally every single piece of skydiving related equipment ... that's a lot of stuff to replace.
