Hi Speedybaby, You must have found my stash of old "Brother Dave Gardner" records Now, listen to me talk and go figure?? I'm first generation here of Hungarian parents I was born in "Newoawlinz!!" Louisiana and grew up across the lake in Hammond in the middle of an immigrant community of Hungarians (turn of the 20th cent farmers) Italian immigrant farmers up the I.C Line in Independence, Red Necks all over, some English, Irish and don't forget the Cajuns, Blacks up and down the street, a clan of Syrians that had the farm across the street, Chocktaw, Chickasaw, Alponca Indians, was the only Hungarian kid in a Catholic School full of Dagos, staffed by a bunch of Creole Nuns from New Orleans down in the Irish Channel off Poyadras Street by the docks and God knows what else and you got the ballz, gall and audacity to say we talk funny!! Ever been here?> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tickfaw,_LouisianaLived on the corner of Whiskey Ln. and Tin Can Alley. You wouldn't like their jail. Nice tubing down the river tho. NO rocked in the day. Lines of coke on the bar in Fat City. No Problemo. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

Carl Boenish's Gravity project seks funding.
akarunway replied to kimemerson's topic in Skydiving History & Trivia
I met a real cool woman at DeLand about 10 yrs. ago. She has some really cool shit from way back. I'll see if I can track her down. Or talk to Maddog or what's his name? That 3 ring guy. This guy was cool too.>http://guswing.com/photo_journal.html Or this guy>http://www.lewsanbornaccuracy.com/images/meet/13/IMG_3288_edited.jpgOr here>http://www.blincmagazine.com/forum/incidents/18340-list-version-3-1-2-a.html>#5 Carl Boenish, BASE #4, June 7, 1984 Age: 43 Cliff Jump Trollwall (Stabben) Norway Cliff Strike “Carl Boenish is the father of BASE jumping. He organized the trips to Yosemite’s El Capitan that resulted in the first “modern” BASE jumps in 1978. The term modern refers to jumps made using ram-air canopies and the ability to track. All fixed object jumps previous to these had been one time stunt type jumps. Carl showed us that fixed object jumping was not only possible for an experienced jumper, it was repeatable.” “Carl Boenish (his family always called him Ronnie) began jumping at Lake Elsinore, California in 1960 at the age of 21. One day, in 1966, while heavily involved in filming the West Coast RW scene, he hears the story of two skydivers, Michael Pelky and Michael Shubert who went to Yosemite National Park’s El Capitan and jumped off using their Para Commander round parachutes. Both are badly injured by hitting the wall under canopy on the way down. The idea, however, stuck in Carl’s mind and years later in 1977, while in Yosemite Valley filming hang glider pilots, Carl looks around at all the vertical granite and thinks of those two back in 1966, and more importantly, it's a time when he truly begins to believe . . .” “Tuesday, August 8, 1978 is the day BASE jumping as a sport is born. Carl is lowered over El Captain’s rounded brow on a rope. While looking down he proclaims his now famous, “Eureka, we can jump here!” The first person off is Kent Lane. Kent is followed five minutes later, in order, by Tom Start, Mike Sherrin and Ken Gosselin." "Carl later names the new sport BASE Jumping and starts the sequential BASE number award system we still use today. Carl and his wife Jean also published the very first BASE magazine. Carl was killed jumping in Norway by hitting a outcropping in freefall. (No one saw it, but that’s how it figures). The BASE community is stunned by his death and some say the progression of BASE jumping, the very thing Carl loved and nurtured, was set back as a result of his death. In any case most American BASE jumpers shied away from Norway for the next ten years or so.” I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. -

I don't want this to go to Speakers Corner, but I would just make sure you've got the union rules well in-hand, and that everyone adheres to the safety plan/accident prevention plan. Also, make sure whomever if your Quality Control Manager is top notch. It's not about the union, it's about the guys working on site with you. If a guy doesn't pass muster, I'm pretty sure the union rules allow you to replace him/her on the spot. It's about getting the work done safely and within spec for the project owner, not about self-improvement. If you're going to be the lead, then it's about leading and directing the workflow. If the laborers and operators are professional and hardcore, then they'll do their job, and if they don't... With all the excess labor in California (especially construction, what's the unemployment rate for construction? 30%?), any guy that doesn't fully understand everything is going to be more trouble than he's worth, and there's no shortage of talent to draw from the union pool (or list, or however they manage it). What kind of project is it? How big? Period of performance? BIG solar project . The guys will be coming from parts unknownhttp://www.energy.ca.gov/sitingcases/ivanpah/index.html I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
