Jessica 0 #1 November 4, 2002 Allen Flynn, an S&TA, AFF-I and Skydive U coach at Skydive San Marcos and all around Cool Guy™ is running as a write-in candidate for USPA regional director in the gulf region. That includes a lot of south Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana. His website is www.allenflynn.net and he sez to e-mail him if you've got questions and he'll be glad to talk to you. (Or if you post questions on this thread I'll send them to him.) If the picture on his site looks familiar, that's because he was the profiled skydiver in October's Parachutist. I'm posting this because Allen wasn't going to, but he said it was cool if I did. Allen is a very awesome guy, and I totally trust him to represent my $44 in USPA. He also directed my coach course last weekend but he already signed everything off so I don't need to suck up anymore. So this is sincere.Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssmi 0 #2 November 4, 2002 I have known Allen for some 20 years now and although we don't always see eye to eye I do believe he would make a very good Reg. Dir. he is geared more to the avg.& beginning skydivers vs competition. At the same time I do like Don E. but feel Dons plate is already full and if there is one thing we don't need its a Reg Dir thats not in touch with the whole sport. Thats been the problem in to many Regions for to long and thats why SSMI droped out of the USPA. However we are rejoining in part due to the fact that weather Allen or Don are successful we need to ack together Phil Chappell Skydive San Marcos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessica 0 #3 November 5, 2002 Thanks Phil! Oh, interesting fact: Apparently, USPA members who do not live in the United States can vote for one regional director candidate of their choice. Hint, hint!Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
