skybytch 259 #8 April 26, 2007 I first met Tom in Paso Robles back in 1990. He'd come along with the Otter from Perris for a weekend. I had around 20 jumps and was having an issue with fall rate. He gave me a bit of advice that solved my problem - and I remember that advice to this day. "Take a pencil. Put it between your shoulder blades and hold it there. Then put the pencil on your ass." A few years later, after moving to Perris, I met him again. I don't think I ever saw him without a smile on his face. And he gave great hugs. My condolences to Tammi and the rest of his family, both "blood" and skydiving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
