skypuppy 1 #1 July 19, 2006 An American. I remember he wrote a story called Ol' Jim's Vision that was in the first CANPARA magazine I ever got. Good story. Is he still among us?If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.

mark 107 #2 July 19, 2006 Unfortunately, no. He was one of the six in the 21 March 1998 skydiving airplane crash in Grain Valley, Missouri. I made a few jumps with him when I was living in Kansas a number of years ago. Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
