  1. I was the reason a teacher got canned once. She was a lousy 4th grade teacher and almost the entire class was smarter than she. She wouldn't open a book to find out if she had misspelled something, or used a word out of context. Her message on my sons spelling paper said "dont writ to fast" He brought it home and showed it to me. I took it to the principal. It was a spelling test on which my son had spelled every word correctly, but the teacher had given him a D, because she didn't like his penmanship. When I showed her spelling to the principal, and to the teacher, the teacher defended her misspelling of the word "to". I'm not sure if she ever understood that she had made 3 errors in 4 words, but her boss did, and it was a short year for her. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  2. Hey thanks, it makes a difference. I've had to post bad news more than once, and I'd hate to have my message diluted by the way in which it was delivered. It's more important that we understand the jist of the message than the grammar. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  3. Hey Dawg! Thanks for trying to educate us as to something that affects skydivers. I thought that was the point of this bulletiin board, but apparently you and I are in the minority on that. I'm sorry that you are taking a bashing for doing all of us service. I'm going to call Cathy and see if I can find out some details. Hope all are well. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  4. OH NO! Tell me I didn't miss one of lifes big experiences! Why in the world would anyone use a plastic bag, or a sheet of foil, or for Gods sake carry it around with them? Animals do it outside, in trees, in water, and in caves every single day and it is EVERYWHERE! It dries up and goes away, or disintigrates or flattens out, while fertilizing the earth. Why should ours be any different? skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

  9. In case anyone is wondering why we keep saying that our new DZ is basically like jumping at Rantoul, attached is a picture I took recently in freefall directly above Illinois Skydiving Center Hey Hector, it was great to see you and Debbie, too. It was fun hanging out with the Tall Slut and the Airboss as well. Glad to hear that your mom is doing well. Have fun in Granbury (pond swooping anyone?) Boy that picture is sure proof of how close you are to Rantoul. I can imagine right exactly where my RV should be sitting right about now... I'll be seeing youse guyse soon.

  18. We have Chester on the roster, and I can hardly wait!! I haven't been there in a couple of years, and all of my RR bros are there. I'm really melancholy about the WFFC, but it's gonna be great to get back south again, and I haven't been able to do both, so good news, huh? How do you think we should proceed with next year? Rantoul, or something else? skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
