I had the great fortune of meeting Jan at the end of February this year at the Gold Coast Skydivers Mardi Gras Boogie in Moss Point, Mississippi. Jan arrived early, registered, and on a beautiful Friday afternoon, gave up her slot on a 4-way to fly a tandem video for us. She was more than happy to film a first time jumper's excitement and joy as he boarded the CASA and then exited. She captured the expressions of both the tandem student and tandem master in freefall and in landing. And never did she expect to be compensated for doing what she obviously loved! Imagine her surprise when I handed her money and said thank you for doing us a favor. She gave up her spot in a 4-way to provide a lasting impression on both the student through his video and the lasting impression on me. I am blessed to have met Jan and to have seen her videography skills. Jan, you will forever fly in blue skies and will forever be in my thoughts. Thank you for sharing your joy of skydiving with all of us. -Debora
