Too easy for you?
Ok what about these?

No really, help me with the folks here, I know quite a few and some I've seen before....but.

I can't say who, but I can say when. It has to be verry close to 1977. Not the Northwest, since that was my turf, and I don't recognize anyone. Blast handles (yes, I still think they are good). Three rings, some capewells, some "wrap-wells", big jumpsuits. The guy in the white t-shirt, kneeling in the door looks vaguely familiar.

I think I know who the lady is but not sure enough to take a guess but the guy in the background looks like Ron Cox which would place the picture in the Dallas area.

The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

I beleive that is Lupe (sp?) Gonzales.

The pic isnt dated but I bet you are right on the year. Or damn close.
I cant tell what aircraft it is? If its a DC-3 could it be Southern Cross?

Well, I recognize Bob Chaffin, Bruce Head, Bruce Cunningham, Scott Wall, Vickie and Lupe Gonzalez, Bobby Brown, Gary Hollingshead, Leslie Gott and a couple other faces who's names are lost in the haze of time.

This could have been at McGregor, TX in 1977 or McKinney, TX in 1978.

Yup thats Ron Cox Sr. and Sherry Schrimsher

She cut herself with the POB and thats why her finger is in her mouth. That is the front of the Seagoville Hanger on the concrete. Packing

Got my dad to look at the pic and rattle his memory a little. These are the names he could remember. Leslie gott, Bruce Cunnigham, David Arquest, John Embry, Bob Chaffin, Jeff Smith, Scott Wall, John O'Neil, Eddie Flores, and of course himself. Some of these guys I have a had a chance to meet since I got back into the sport. I always look forward to seeing the same people I watched growing up around the DZ, if I am lucky they will tell a good tale or two, if I am even luckier they will make a jump with me. Keep posting this kind of stuff J.

Clite, I thought that was Arnquist but wasn't sure, same with Embry but sure would never have recognized O'Neil. Tell Bobby hi.

Is that Lizard?

Little Pete is right. That's Howie and Shelley AKA the Funk and the Girl Next Door. I know they spent some time in Hawaii in the late 70's I think. Looks to me that's where this picture was taken. I don't recognize anyone else either.

I am pretty sure Lizard flew back seat in an F-4.

My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

[stratostar 5]

Yes you and pete are correct on those two.

Skydive jack, No I have never heard him called lizard if your talking about photo #1.

I had lunch with Lizard and Dr Dave Holmes at Cal City once....telling war stories and shit. It seems like he said he was backseat in an F4...if my memory isnt going to hell.

I'm pretty sure Lizard flew back seat too. And if I remeber he got to eject out of 2 of them. Your tax dollars at work.

I also remeber a really hairy round reserve landing he did at Elsinore one time in high winds at he top of a power line pole where he cutaway (with a knife) his reserve to keep from being fired.

He was quick and good.
