Need help locating jumpers from 1960

[chuckakers 426]

Hey everyone,

I have been contacted by a retired jumper who needs help finding some folks who can verify he made a few jumps at Fort Hood in 1960. His name is Jim Burke and he jumped there in October and November of 1960.

Without divulging any personal stuff (VA related), Jim needs to contact the folks whose signatures appear on the attached documents as evidence that he jumped there. He contacted me since I am the USPA Gulf Region Director and Fort Hood is in my region.

I'm asking for help from our seasoned skydiving community in hopes of identifying these folks. Step one is to see if anyone can make out the signatures and ID the jumpers.

I believe the name on the Fort Hood Skydivers Club membership card is DJ or DG Ashcroft, who was the club Secretary. The name on Jim's logbook may be Don Morrow or possible Marrow.

These folks obvious could have jumped anywhere before and after their time at Fort Hood, so I'm hoping someone will know them regardless of geography.

Sleuth time, please! Thank you!!

Hopefully there'll be a hit

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

I don’t supposed PCA/USPA records exist of ASO, Area Saftey Officer 220? I was ine starting in 1983 until they became S&TA.
