arlo 0 #1 July 6, 2003 i felt like i needed to post this since this is an incredible milestone for a skydiver to reach. This weekend was the 40th anniversary of Joe's first skydive...and he's still jumping his ass off. :) Joe had friends from all over the country (and then some) come to deland to help him celebrate. hell, alot of them also have 20 to 30+ yrs in the sport...ACTIVE years in the sport. it's amazing to see such longevity...they have my respect. they did 40-ways at Skydive Deland today to celebrate. there were even freeflyers on their bellies for this one. BBQ by Rusty was wicked good (as usual)... and i believe skymama was still glowing from her west coast trip. congrats joe! you've been skydiving longer than i've been breathing! arlo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mjosparky 4 #3 July 6, 2003 I would like to add my congratulations to Joe. I jumped with him a bit when he lived in the ghetto. Do you think you are going stay with it? SparkyMy idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #5 July 6, 2003 Quoteand i believe skymama was still glowing from her west coast trip. Heehee, yep, yep! I was hanging out with the gang until I realized that if I didn't leave for home soon, I was going to get caught in the race traffic. Joe's years in the sport are quite impressive, and he's still very spry. He's the only one I let pinch my butt every time he sees me and get away with it.
