SmilingPhoenix 0 #2 October 23, 2006 You're too sweet Walt! It was a GREAT weekend though - I got my A, I got my A, I got my A... I'm still bouncing around like an idiot - but I'm a happy idiot Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!

waltappel 1 #3 October 23, 2006 I forgot to mention that I got to hang out with Turtlespeed, Moonglo, Luminous, Mad Max, and a few other dz.commers too, but I screwed up and didn't get pics. I'll make sure I do that next time I'm at Skydive Houston. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SmilingPhoenix 0 #5 October 23, 2006 OK, I know Turtlespeed is the camera guy and Mad Max is the guy that should be related to Tall Guy, but who are the other two? Being new to a drop zone and to dz.com means I have twice as many names to learn - eek!Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!

Luminous is the Larry--lucky guy who will be marrying her 31-MAR-2007. He was also wingsuiting. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
