tattoojeff 0 #1 June 11, 2003 our sport had a very sad day on sat. as we all know. i find myself compelled to say a few words. i never got the chance to meet Mr. Nelson but that didnt stop him from touching my life. i certainly knew who he was and why he was so important to our sport. he not only inspired myself but many accomplished skydivers and swoopers in his many years in skydiving. some may not even had made it threw aff without him such as mariann kramer whos inspirational tale can be read in skydiving mag. rogers articles written for parachutist said alot about him as a father, and a mentor. my heart goes out to missy, rook and family. lets not argue about how high he fell, or if cpr was appropriate at this time, lets share how roger nelson touched us all directly or indirectly....
