Hey,
was your Dad Ron Coward? pilot and teacher???
My dad ( Neil Baker) was in first 8-stack in Livermore and a Diablo Skydiver (Antioch) Mr. Coward taught me Geometry, and told me I hung out with the "wrong people" when I cut class! I knew him since I was five years old. I used to pack the parachutes, or more correctly, wrap the rubberbands!!!,( yes rubberbands held the lines) for a quarter.
I remember the guy in the reservoir and Jeanni McCombs tried to swim to save him, but I do not remember who he was. I believe he was a student.
