We both have our licenses, insurance and rigs, but we'll be sure to bring some food and drink. You know, this will be our first jumps in a different country, so perhaps you should recommend some beer now so we'll be ready. By the way, how far is Bottens from Geneva. We'll be staying with a friend in Geneva while we're there, and I want to get an idea of how far we'll need to travel. Oh, and we both pack..when I'm not being lazy.

Hate to do this, but it's either France or WFFC. I spent plenty of time in Rantoul back in the late '80s, but have never been to France. Cora and I won't be able to make it to the WFFC this year. Sorry. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

Out of curiosity, will the two of you be making your way back in our direction in the foreseeable future? Cora and I never even got a chance to hang out with you much after a day of jumping.

Thank you very much for the info. My sweetheart and I are both jumpers, and she is a pilot as well (should have her instrument rating by the time we leave). I'll send you more info when I have it as to when we'll be going from France to Geneva, Switzerland. We'd love to visit and jump with you, even though we're both low # jumpers (me: 124; her: 95). Let us know if there is anything we need to be aware/careful of. We're so excited about this trip we can hardly stand to wait until September. I'll keep you informed. Thank you again for your initial assistance.

I wish Cora and I could come visit, but we're kinda strapped for the moment. We miss you both and hope to see you again soon.

So, my sweetheart and I are spending a week in France in September and are thinking about jumping. Neither one of us speaks French with any degree of skill, and to say that we understand more than we speak would almost be an insult to natives and fluent French-speaking individuals the world over. We are just trying to gather information as to whether it would be work our while to take our gear and/or attempt to make some jumps while visiting. As far as I know, we will be flying into Paris and spending at least 4 days there before we head off to Geneva, Switzerland to visit with friends there. Our trip is scheduled for the 13th through the 20th of September. We are open to suggestions and recommendations. The two of us tend to be fairly humble and respectful, but most especially when visiting another country. Any advice that people can give us would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

The skies are yours forever, my friend. I know you'll be watching all of us and guiding us in your own merry way. When the sky is bright and the wind is just right, I'll know you gave us that day.

No words as I sit here at my desk at work fighting tears. I only knew Paul for a short while, but I could see what kind of person he was in that short time. He will live on in the hearts and minds of all who knew or met him. There is no limit to what you can do, Paul. You'll be missed here. Chuck, thanks. For everything.

This cast a somber pall over everything this weekend. Raff is the type of person who can meet you once and remember you months later. He helped Cora and I numerous times with advice and tips.
