His wife hurt her back. Despite a long spot that put us all on the far end of the runways in some really hot, thin summer air, we all did goof PLFs and did just fine. Turns out it was Buron Ervin and his wife...he eventually did the first BASE that was done off of New River Gorge Bridge. Sorry, no pic but the story is here: http://members.citynet.net/skydiver/ Also jumping there at the time was Terry Queijo; she went on to make history in the first all women flight crew on a commercial flight (American Airlines) and more recently as alternate pilot for the commerative (as seen on PBS TV) - 100 year anniversary Wright flyer recreation with one Scott Crossfield (Mr. Right Stuff/X-15 jockey advising).

aj4218 0 #38 June 28, 2005 Jumped with Lewis Collins of 'The Professionals' TV series. It was for a charity thing run by the Daily Mail in the UK. I have never jumped with someone with such a fast fall rate in a relaxed position. He's a fairly stocky guy and I'm only 150lbs, but I could only stay with him comfortably in a kind of stand up!! http://www.personal.u-net.com/~carnfort/Professionals/lewis.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nitecap 0 #39 June 28, 2005 I made several jumps with Daryl Henry.He was writer director for the TV show Emergency. The show ran seven seasons. He also wrote an article called Command the Commander. This was the bible for new PC owners in the early days. Daryl was a member of the 1960 Canadian Team at the fifth world meet. Anyone know what happened to Daryl?

councilman24 36 #40 June 28, 2005 Hmmm, I must have one of those around somewhere. But not good memories. My friend Connie Bushy died there. With about 20 of us from our MI DZ on the load, including her husband of nine months. IIRCC there was a second fatality there that year two.I'm old for my age.

JerryBaumchen 1,046 #41 June 28, 2005 Daryl currently lives in Santa Barbara, CA and usually shows up at the Para-Pioneers get togethers. Somewhere I have an address but it is buried deeply these days. Try contacting Tee Taylor at: [email protected] She may have contact info for him.

skybytch 259 #42 July 1, 2005 I did a jump with Don Henderson (SCR007) and Troy Hartman (skysurfer and MTV's Senseless Acts of Video stunt dummy) in Lodi in 1993. Troy wasn't famous yet. Don was already infamous. Did some tunnel time with Purple Patty last year. I've also jumped with Carey Peck (Gregory Peck's son). Lots of people can say that, he is a big way jumper/organizer... but can they say he's sucked on their ear? My mother about fell over when she saw that going on.
