skypuppy 1 #1 August 28, 2006 The thread on the U of A skydiving team got me thinking back to the old University of Western Skydiving Club where I started in 1979. I know it was around a lot earlier than that.... Some of the alumni were Bob Wright (currently with @ 11000 jumps, dzo of Grand Bend Sport Para Centre and on all the world records since Myrtle Beach, I believe). Wayne Bolahood (earlier '70's)- past member of the Canadian 4-way team (and possibly 8-way) in the '80's with Bernie Sirois and others. Bruce Robertson (later '80's)- now with 13000 jumps, past manager of Lake Wales, currently working for Sunpath, I think.... Kevin Killen (later '80's) - represented Canada on 'Toe-tag' 4-way team. Mike Dewit (1979-1982)- who represented Canada in Australia on the 4-way team 'Toe-tag', and was on the 200-way in Myrtle Beach. (And of course, wife Deanna). And of course, me (1979-1982). It would be interesting to get a fuller picture of who started in the club over the years and where they ended up? Any takers?If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead. Bruce McConkey 'I thought we were gonna die, and I couldn't think of anyone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
