stratostar 5 #1 April 25, 2014 Hi gang here is a chance to help save some skydiving history! One guy took a huge risk and covered the cost to win the WHO wings & things on ebay in order to save them for the sport's history and museum, he is asking for a little help to cover this expense. Please see the attached msg and if you can help support the cause please do so.... THX! https://www.facebook.com/groups/28649069239/permalink/10152981182159240/ QuoteJohn JJ FermanisOldschool Skydiving For those who are interested, I have successfully purchased four of the ‘Bill Ottley’ skydive memorabilia items that were up for auction on EBAY. The total cost for the LOT is $965.00. I lost one of the bids unfortunately. The item I did not win was the ‘1977 FAA Logbook’. The items I did win are going to be delivered to ‘Pat Thomas’ before the end of the month, and they will then be turned over to the trustees of the ‘Skydive Museum’ for safe keeping and special care. In order help with the purchase cost and the costs of protecting the items from the elements of time, we are asking for donations that will go directly to the museum as ‘inkind’ donations for the ‘Bill Ottley’ memorabilia. The estimated total costs will be around $1500.00. When the items 1st came up in discussion on Facebook, there were plenty of offers to help support this action, and I would like to express my thanks for the offers to help. So, for those that made the offer to help, and for those that want to help out, I am accepting payments via Paypal at ‘[email protected]’. For those ‘Old School’ jumpers that still believe in writing checks, you can mail a check to me at ‘332 Georgetown Dr. Casselberry, Fl. 32707. All donors will have their names listed on the plaque that will be displayed at the museum alongside the Case with the memorabilia. All donations will be turned over to the ‘Skydive Museum’ as soon as we reach the goal of $1500.00. If anyone has any inquiries or questions, please message me in Chat and I will respond as soon as I can. Thank you for your support with this project.
