If not, it's a Lowell (MA) Sun article about a blind, diabetic woman celebrating her 50th birthday with a tandem at Pepperell, MA. Certainly not the first blind tandem but got lots of favorable news (including Boston TV).

Chip Steele, the TM, guided her hand to the ripcord, and she pulled. He plans to use this in future tandems -- "I had a blind woman pull...you can too."

A friend of mine living in Medford has been squeamish about skydiving for quite some time until he saw this on channel 4. He's going to do it now I bet. "I ain't skeeered!"

[hijack] speaking of dogs, there used to be a dude that jumped at Barnwell, SC with his dog all the time. He wore the little nipper across his belly in a thing that looked like an arm sling. He loved the freefall, but would shit all over his master on opening; nice. I think the dude's name was Woody. [/hijack]
