weegegirl 2 #2 July 22, 2008 Hey Pete, I think about Pops a lot too. He was a great man. Him and Junior pretty much took me through the static line program. He was Mr. Safety, always looking out for the newb. I can still hear him saying "red... silvah.... red..... silvah" with his NY accent. My favorite Pops story is from when he and I landed off after I hurt my neck real bad on an opening. We landed in a big field and were quickly surrounded by big fat cows. They were staring us down and I was getting real nervous. Pops told me to stay behind him and started waving his canopy frantically shouting "Yaw! Yaw!" I looked at him and said... "does that really work?" He replied "It works on TV!" From that day forward Pops called me Cowgirl. Miss you Pops. You'll always have a place in my heart.
