MakeItHappen 15 #4 March 10, 2007 QuoteSteve Fielding passed away last night. Sparky Steve was an icon in the sport, especially in SoCal. To honor Steve, we gathered some info on him and put together these articles. Sharron surreptitiously gathered data from his logbooks. Others sent me stories and details. Still others loaned me photos to scan. Steve Fielding and the links to others articles. There was too much to put in one article, so it was split into several. The articles were put on the web site after Steve and Sharron were driving to the DZ. At the end of the day, we showed him our handiwork. Blue Skies Steve. ..

He's a founder in our sport. he will be missed, our thoughts are with Sharron and his family. Only the good die young, so I have found immortality, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
