skymama 35 #1 May 16, 2003 In case you missed the report in the Incidents forum, our friend and Marine veteran, Chris Colwell, was paralyzed from the chest down on a freefly jump a few weeks ago in Deland. Please help us help Chris Colwell at the Get Better Boogie - Memorial Day Weekend May 25 - 26, 2003. At the " Get Better Boogie" everybody benefits! A $25 registration fee (100% donated to Chris Colwell) entitles you to organized RW and FreeFly loads with some of the biggest names in skydiving, free cookout after sunset and dueling DJ's in the hangar after dark. Woohoo! In addition, a Silent Auction will be held throughout the day and prizes will be awarded to the raffle and auction winners around 9 00 PM. Winners need not be present so feel free to give heavy, there are over $6000.00 in prizes already donated! Buy lots of $10 raffle tickets from Nancy Colwell at Ouragan Suits, Tsunami at 219-808-6263 or from Skydive DeLand's Gear Store. They accept credit cards by phone and fax, call 386-738-3539 or 736-1233 respectively.

flyhi 24 #3 May 19, 2003 Any reason to go Saturday? Looks like I'll at least make Sunday. Anyone else gonna be there? Got a new video camera and have almost perfected the art of shooting the air space into which a formation is about to travel. If nothing else, I have a memory stick and can take some pix on the ground to post next week. See ya there.Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
