Jmping in the 60's in HI	Can't Post

Any old timers around that jumped in the late 60's in Hawaii? Or if you happen to know Clyde "Sonny" Orr or his brother Dale

I was in Hawai'i in the '60s, but wasn't jumping then. The name Dale Orr is very familiar, though. Was he in the Marines and/or did he later jump in NC? I can't quite place him.

Dale was 16 in 1969, his dad was a General when they were in Hawaii, where they went from there I have no idea
