Sounds like you could...or would pick up any split!!! GOTCHA Be careful what you ask for...you just might get it!!!!! Sandy

Exactly what I needed on that jump!!...How did you know? Are you a pro bowler by any chance? *** You are sure going for a strike!!!! Sandy

Hi Larry....I know all those you jump with. I fully understand your comment. BE AFRAID...BE VERY AFRAID Sometimes danger is fun. Why else would we keep jumping??? The fear factor and danger keeps us coming back, just to see if we can cheat it again. *** A friend once told me, if you like something, do it till you get enough. Looks like AIR TRASH just can't get enough. That's a good thing .....SANDY Sandy

QuoteHere's mine. It was in the mid 70's. The California Aerial Circus was jumping into the Treehouse...a nudist colony. We jumped there for the Miss Nude U.S.A. contest. It is located in Devore, CA just next to Glen Helen Regional Park. The pilot was Bob Jones from Perris and Elsinore. I think we had 4 jumpers on that load. We left the airplane on single passes. When it was my turn to go, just Bob and I were in the plane. I climbed out on the ladder, turned to jump and my right leg got caught in the bottom rung of the ladder. I was hanging upside down NUDE. Bob could not help me cuz he was flying the plane. Boy did he get an EYE full! He has a glass eye. I grabbed the ladder and proceeded to do pull ups. Imagine weighing 105 lbs and trying to pull yourself and all your equipment up. Meanwhile the Treehouse was getting further and further away. I was pretty good at accuracy so I didn't care where I landed. I just wanted to get off that plane. Bob was yelling stuff, but I don't know what he was saying. I did pull ups for what seemed an eternity. I was getting really tired too. After about 10 trys I finally turned into SUPER WOMAN, and pulled up just enough to get my leg off the ladder. Freefall never felt so good. I made it to the Treehouse just off the target. I was pretty shook up. I bruised the back of my knee. Big old bruise too. Later that night is when I really got scared. I kept thinking of all the other things that could have happened. What I thought of the most was..WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD I NOT GOT MYSELF OFF THAT LADDER . This is a TRUE story. I'm sure some of the OLD gang remember. Especially BOB...He really got his EYEFULL on that jump.....SANDY*** Confucious say woman who fly upside down have hairy crack-up!!!!...Sorry, I just couldn't resist that one. Sandy

No that is not me. I'm 5'1" and 105 lbs. dark hair and lived with Bill Hallam from 1971 - 1978. Bill was a freefall photographer and instructor at Perris. I ran the snack bar at Perris (now the bomb shelter) I was a jumpmaster for awhile. I knew Bob Sinclair as a friend only. If you go to www.ParachuteHistory.com and go to the womens section you will find an article on Tiny Broadwick and scroll down til you get to a picture of the Perris staff with Tiny on her 80th B-Day. I am kneeling in front of Hallam on the right side of the picture. That was in 73'.....SANDY Sandy

I have not seen Bob for 25+ years. His number is in the phone book. My Mom lives in Hemet also. Last time I was there I looked up his number, but have misplaced it. Just call information and ask for Hemet, Ca. The area code is 951. I don't remember if he is listed as Robert or Bob Jones. Good Luck. If you call him tell him Sandy Calliham said Hi.

That's pretty AMAZING. I had the privelage of meeting Tiny Broadwick and had my picture taken with her too. She came to Perris DZ on her 80th b-day. How excited I was to meet the 1st female jumper.

I agree....Pat Works is bottom right. The other 3 I'm not sure. They look familiar

PROVE IT!!!!! Sandy

I remember what happened at the Pueblito Cantino, The Rumleseat, The Pizza Place and The Melody Inn. We all fell on the floor after awhile But nobody yelled ANTS! We fell cuz we were all DRUNK. The way we partyed, I don't think we could have said ANTS or much else for that matter!

Booze luge? Exolain please

There are many games that I remember. Cardinal Puff is the one that comes to mind first. Probably cuz I drank many a glass before I finally went all the way through to the finish. Him...him... f*** him or her is another memory. I remember guys holding their beer cans upside down and downing them in a few secs. Does this still go on? If not, what games are played at your DZ? I am curious......Sandy Sandy

HELLO Don't know about ultralight....but back in the 70's....Rich Piccirrilli and Sylvia Lindgren were jumping from a hanglider. Took place in Elsinore. Then I stopped jumping just when the ultralights were coming on the scene. A lot has gone on since I stopped. I don't even know the language anymore. It's all good though, I'm sure

ROOM? Who said room? Are you buyin? Did you really want to buy me dinner or pet Snoopy in a ROOM? Gotcha! Back off SPARKY, I got me a boyfriend. His name is FROGMAN. You know what they say? You gotta kiss alot of frogs before you meet your PRINCE. Haven't met my Prince yet! We are gonna watch the sheets rise as we discuss THERMALS. Get it? Thermals-Rise. DUH!!!....Sandy Sandy

OOOOOOOOOOO is OOOOOOOOO no matter which way you are facing. The End Sandy

Duh??? Your name must have been lifted up by a thermal on your profile....I thought we were sticking to the subject. We are just blowing alot of HOT AIR around just like thermals do. Right? Right! Sandy

I think it's YAHOOOOO... Sandy

No, I did not jump then...My last jump was in 79'. Sandy

Larry...I figured it out!!! That picture reminds me of a Halloween Party I went to in the 80's. The couple won 1st place. The man had a potato dangling on a string, hanging from his belt!!! Give up? He was a dictator!

Virginia???? I'll be moving to Delaware in 2 mos. We will talk then Frogman......Sandy Sandy

No kidding! Ray doesn't look much different than he did in the 70's. I must admit he was pretty for a guy back then. I'm serious. Nice skin, perfect hair, a real cute guy. Now he has grown into a very handsome man. Still one of the beautiful people . SANDY.....A very handsome well-groomed nice guy.
