Where are we from?

Recommended Posts

Going through the what's your name and what do you do thread made me wonder... how many different places are represented by the posters here?
The questions are - Where were you born (a general area is fine, don't need to specify a city/town)? Where do you live now? Where is your home drop zone? Where'd you do your first jump (if it wasn't at your current home dz) and when?
I'll start -
Born in the San Gabriel Valley, California, USA.
Currently living in Hemet, California.
Current home dz is Perris.
First jump at a dz that no longer exists, Paso Robles, California, 2/4/1990.
Next? :)pull and flare,
lisa

Where are we from?

well, Lisa, sometimes, when a man & a woman love each other very much, the man will.....
OK seriously: I grew up/ went to college in the Boston area (Newton) in Massachusetts, also known as Tax-achusetts, the Pay State.
Lived in Baltimore, MD (the hair-do capital of the world) for a while, went to grad school there (UMBC). Lived in Gaithersburg, MD & now live in Bethesda, MD, fixin' to buy a house in Frederick.
I was skyborn in June 1999 at Skydive the Point in West Point, VA. I am now forced to return to whuffo-hood :((hopefully just temporarily) because I need to sell my gear to make a downpayment on a house.
