Darkwing,
I took the picture, probably in 73. I can't recall where for sure. Some of these jumpers could be Washington jumpers. I just found another old picture taken in Spokane with the same Beech. This may be why some of the jumpers are so hard to remember. Check out my next photo....Steve1

I think this is Wally's Beech. Correct me if I'm wrong. It was taken at Deer Park, Washington (Spokane area)..... In 73 or 74....There are some real characters in this photo. Many were Kalispell jumpers. Left to right. Dave Tousey, Nancy Krouse, Pug, Fred Sands, Me, Bob Murray, Blackburn, Andrus, Larry Mason, (B.J. Worth looking out the door) and Gordy Listor.
I've got a better photo of this at work. If this is too dark, I'll show it tomorrow.....Steve1

QuoteAlso, does the guy wearing the piggyback rig look like a very young Ted Mayfield to anyone else? Maybe I'm just having a bad dream though.
There never was a "young" Mayfield. But you may be right.

He seemed old to us young sprouts in the 70's. I met him at his DZ at Sheridan way back when. He must be really, really old by now. Whereever he is I hope he's doing well.
Say that might be a good title for another "thread".....Ted Mayfield stories....I know a few of his stories didn't have happy endings, but I'd bet someone could write a book about his adventures. The fatalities at his place were of course unfortunate. But I'll bet there were plenty of good times too....Steve1

Mayfield thread might not be the hot ticket. I heard he is in jail.

Actually I would have guessed that it was taken well prior to 1974, maybe 1971 or 72. I'm referring this photo to another guy from that time and place. He predates me by a couple of years.
