What Ever Happened To...

Arch Archer.
He was an oldtimer I used to jump with at Z-hills back in '99 or'00. He had a very distinctive voice because he used to be a news anchor. He femured-in sometime around 2000 or '01?? I haven't heard a peep since.
Any info y'all might have would be appreciated; he was a really nice man.
Thanks! Jeannie

You're maybe talking about Arch Deal? The description fits except for the dates are way off. As far as I know, he's still alive but I don't know that he's still jumping or not. He goes way back to the mid-70s.

You may remember Arch Deal and the Fallen Arches demo team.

"Nice man"...he'd get a kick out of that...so would the demo team, two of which I know are still jumping.

My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

That's it! Thanks! I will try to check on him (it means a lot to me to tell him how much I appreciate him.) I just hope he's still around...I miss my mentors..

I did a lot of jumps with Arch when I was manager at the Hills. He's still around as far as I know, but not doing a lot of jumping. I actually last ran into him jumping at Davis in CA in 1996 when he was visiting out there. He had a company that did personalized greetings using that voice of his. I would imagine that Henri from Sunrise Rigging might know of his whereabouts as Arch was doing the voicemail greetings for him for some time.
