kallend 2,148 #1 July 13, 2006 We're thinking of going for a SOS state record in Illinois but we need a few more jumpers. Are there any SOS members in northern IL or nearby states who would be interested and are current?... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

micro 0 #4 July 17, 2006 John: There was just a POPs meet at Archway two weekends ago, w/ several SOS jumpers there. Jason Mark, the DZO probably has some contact info for them. (I actually did a 4 way w/ two of 'em, a married couple who were both well into their 60's, great folks!). The DZO doesn't post here, but I'll contact him and see if he can give up any info and get back to you... md I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Let me just remind you that the SOS folks DID set a TX record last weekend unlike some group mostly comprised of younger folk. Anyhow, being in AARP makes one feel right at home in Z-Hills....

But then again....even a BLIND dog finds a bone now & then! ...and it's 'easier' for the old folks, their only worry is whether or not to buy green bananas! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
