Hi Mark, OK, that reminds me of a sort-of jump story; and this is only a portion of the total story. Which would take me a couple of days to type up. It was either the '71 or '72 USPA National Championships in Oklahoma. Ted Mayfield was driving a big Ford station wagon. In it was 5 jumpers & 2 wuffos. They were on their way back to Oregon. They stopped for gas in the middle of the nite somewhere in New Mexico. Getting gas at the same time was Bill Driver, a jumper also on his way home from the Nationals to Denver. Bill takes off & Ted tries to keep up with him. Pretty soon, Ted sees Bill's taillites all over the road & Bill ends up in the ditch. Ted & company stop and Bill is a mess; the windshield is out, the car is a wreck & Bill has blood all over his face. Bill has hit a horse that was in the road. Ted says, 'Give me beer.' He shakes up the beer, opens it & washed Bill's face off. Ted had been in Special Forces in the early ''60's & learned to do that to look for serious injuries. Another car stopped & they told them to go call an ambulance. After they got Bill into the ambulance, Ted said they would takes Bill's gear & suitcase to his mother in Denver. Then they notice that Bill has a cooler full of beer in his car; so they grab it & head on down the road. After a bit, Ted, who is driving, says, 'Give me one of those beers.' They hand one up to him, he takes a swig & says, 'This tastes like shit.' Another guy, who had one, says the same thing. So they get a flashlight out to see what is wrong. When Bill hit the horse, it shit & all of it ended up in the cooler with the beer. True story Jerry Baumchen
