turtlespeed 226 #3 August 1, 2003 My grandmother jumps...she has gone on three tandems. I get such a kick of waving at her as I leave the plane. She's not 83 , but I still love it.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

174fps 1 #8 August 4, 2003 So much for press accuracy, "Great Grandma"Mary is ONLY 81 going on 82. She got her jump on two local TV News broadcasts and a page in the Edmonton Sun. With photo supplied by Pete (Canuck) who I believe owes BEER for his first published photo. http://www.edmontonskydive.com/mary/index.htm Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
