JOY's BIRTHDAY (A Big One)

Recommended Posts

Hey BASE Jumpers, this is Rick Harrison and I wanted to let you all know that next week, August 8, is my wife Joy's Birthday. It's a big one for her, I can't tell you how big or she'd kill me, but I wish a lot of you folks would tell her Happy Birthday. She is so dedicated to keeping the numbers in order and getting all the right information so we can put keep track of it in the original BASE Book. It is very important to her and it makes her feel she has an imprtant role to do for us crazy BASE jumpers. She spends at least 20 hours a week keeping the numbers and sending e-mails. No one would spend so much effort doing this as well as she does. I'm really proud of her. Hell, in the old days, she was also the best ground crew Phil Smith and I ever had. Back in 1982 and 83, she knew downtown Houston only by where the tallest 4 buildings were. Anyway, as most of you know, we keep up the original BASE numbers out of a respect for tradition and for Carl Boenish and the spirit of a liviing brotherhood that was fostered by most of the early BASE jumpers. Joy and I knew Carl and I knew he would want the original BASE numbers to go on worldwide as the back of the card says. We like doing it but Joy does 90% of the work. Please everyone who appreciates the work Joy does, she would love a bunch of birthday wishes. She's big on that. If you're on the Zone August 8, and if you want, send her a mesaage to [email protected]. she'd just love it.
Thanks guys.

Whoa. That's a weird coincidence.

Isn't August 8th BASE Day? (August 8, 1978 was the first El Cap loads with Carl Boenish, wasn't it?)

At any rate, happy birthday Joy!

If anyone wants to send a card or a present, drop me a PM and I'll send you Joy's mailing address.

Yes, BASE Jumping is 28 years old today! And Joy was born on the same day - August 8 - and the same year too -1978- isn't that correct, Joy?
