Hi Keith, That is a cheap shot. And, I think you know that. Jerry Baumchen -
Hi folks, IMO we need more people like this: Only five years after graduating from Lewis & Clark Law School, Peggy Nagae received a phone call from Minoru “Min” Yasui, a lawyer and civil rights activist she deeply respected. Yasui wanted to challenge his 1942 conviction for violating curfew laws targeting Americans citizens with Japanese ancestry during World War II. Today is Minoru Yasui Day. For this Oregon attorney, it’s been a life’s work - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen

Hi Curtis, I've been around skydiving for a while. It is very easy for a Newbie to be 'taken' by someone wanting to unload their old gear. Talk to as many people as you can. Do NOT buy on price only. Take your time & don't be in a hurry. Jerry Baumchen PS) Lots of folks on this website will answer almost any question[s] you might have.

Hi Craig, As noted above, I've been wrong about some of this. Al K for sure was the 'face' and leader of Cap'n Hook & the Sky Pirates. When Craig Fronk re-located to SoCal, he got on Al's team. IMO it did not take long & Craig was running the team. Then it became known as Visions & then Coors. At least, that is how I remember things. I knew some of the guys on Cleareye Express quite well, but not Craig. See this: who were the first 8-way world champs - Skydiving History & Trivia - Dropzone.com The last I heard of Craig was 'about' 20 yrs ago when he applied for the position of USPA Ex Director; he did not get the job. Also, the last time I saw Al K was at the memorial for Gary Douris at Elsinore, about 2009. Jerry Baumchen

Hi 17, Yup, I was wrong. I had not realized that Craig spent anytime with them. Would it have been prior to his re-locating to SoCal? Jerry Baumchen

Hi 17, My posting history shows that my memory is not perfect. However, I do believe that Craig was never with Mirror Image. I am quite sure that during those yrs he was trying to put a competitive team together here in the PacNW. Jerry Baumchen PS) Re: but your term 'move out' sort of sounds like 'hostile takeover' Would Al's 'retirement' sound better?
-
Hi 17, Re: I thought Al was running the team the whole time, even when Craig was there. I first met Craig in about 1970; he had about 25-35 jumps. He began his jumping at the old Issaquah, WA dz. Craig was a true organizer/team leader. He tried & tried to build a competitive team here in the PacNW. The weather would just not allow it. So, he relocated to SoCal. It only took him a few yrs to 'move' Al K out as the team leader. C'est la vie, Jerry Baumchen

Hi 17, Re: Dave and Terry were part of a world-class top-competitor 8-way team captained by Al Krueger. Not to argue; but, are you sure that Al was the captain at that time? I 'thought' that by the time that they became the Coors Team that Craig Fronk was running things. I am fairly sure that Craig was the guy who got them the Coors sponsorship. However, I've been wrong before & will be again. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Chris, +1, Jerry Baumchen

Hi 4470, Re: I believe that it is supposed to be semi-exposed. I have to say: My mistake. All of Dave's earlier products use a semi-exposed RPC, such as Sunpath's Javelin; where Dave worked for many, many yrs before going on his own. Enjoy your rig & forget my Senior Moment. Jerry Baumchen

Hi 4470, Why do you have your RPC covered up? I believe that it supposed to be semi-exposed. Jerry Baumchen

Hi D2909, Re: or was that the smaller one that came out in the early '70's? If you are referring to the 'smaller one' that was meant to fit into the stopwatch hole on the instrument panels back then, that came on the market in 1965, as I recall. I bought one not long after they came on the market. Jerry Baumchen D-1543

Hi Ken, Yes, IMO it is time to have another ceasefire & get the hostages released. Then, and a 'maybe' then, some progress can be made. Israel has shown that it can wipe Gaza off of the map. It is up to Hamas to decide how much they want left. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Bill & others, My premise is and still is that I have not heard even one Palestinian say that the attack of 7 Oct was wrong. That is what all of you have failed to counter. Where is your example? You all have done just about everything but address this issue. Jerry Baumchen
-
Hi Joe, Re: "Any person under occupation has the right to fight," Are you saying that this is justification for the attack of 7 Oct? I continue to stand by my contention: They all are glad about it. Prove me wrong. Jerry Baumchen
-
Hi Bill, I do not see how something published 20 months prior to the 7 Oct attack proves that some Palestinians do not support the attack by Hamas. I stand by my contention. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, As I have said: I have not heard one Palestinian say that the 7 Oct attack should not have happened. Three months ago ... we had 12% support for Hamas in the West Bank, and today it is 44% They all are glad about it. Prove me wrong.
