  1. The Bill Baker I'm thinking of was jumping at Green County Xenia OHIO http://www.skydiveohio.com/ in 1970---72. He moved to Texas in 72. I saw him in Fort Worth Texas in 1973 when I was getting my Commercial Helicopter license. We jumped at small DZ's around Fort Worth / Dallas----it was a good time. Last time I talked to Bill he was in Fort Worth Texas. I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.

    credit card fraud.

    Got my new VISA card this morning. I'm disappointed I had to find out the card numbers were stolen by not being able to get cash from an ATM nine days after the bank blocked the card. I got a follow up call last night from someone in their security department, all we did was go over the information on his screen. He said an email was sent to someone that was supposed to call.

  7. The place is Z-Hills. The DC 3 is Sky Train, owned by Don (Fog) Fournier and Si Frazier (both dead). The Pilot looking out the window is Dave Sickler, another long time good friend who's dead. I worked on that DC 3 in 1979. I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.

    credit card fraud.

    For the second time in my life I've been a victim of credit card fraud. The last time was 1990, second time is today. A short while ago I got off the phone with the security department for my bank VISA card. Their sending me a new card overnight. I tired to use my card at three ATM's thinking there was a problem with the machines. When I got home I called the bank service and was told about unusual usage of my card that didn't match my spending patterns so the card was stopped. Looks like someone got my card numbers at a gas station in Fredericksburg Virginia. I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.

  24. The USPA Board of Directors has selected Ed Scott to serve as executive director effective in December. He succeeds Chris Needels, who is retiring after serving in the position for nearly 14 years. Scott has served as USPA Director of Government Relations and Group Membership for 11 years. He is an active skydiver and retired jumpmaster with more than 1,200 jumps. Scott also holds a commercial pilot certificate with an instrument rating and has logged more than 1,000 hours of flight time, much of it as a jump pilot. Said Scott, “I’m excited by the opportunity to help the board bring even more value to USPA’s members.” He continued, “Our members expect and deserve a full-service organization that continually works to reduce the risk, increase the fun, hold the costs and maximize skydiving’s right of access to the national airspace system.
