Charley,
I'm sorry if I dredged up some unpleasant memories.
Is that how Pete met his maker?

“The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him.

There's a comment to the attached photo about "a meet in Kansas in 1961." I'm curious where that meet would have been. Anyone know?

The first time I met her and her husband Ludlow Clemmens was at a meet in Kansas in 1961. Ludlow had been a B-47 Bomber pilot that crashed and severely crippled him. He was jumping again with a round canopy that he could steer with one hand. His phenomenal progress was stopped when he was diagnosed with a cancer that eventually took his life. What a great man! What a great couple!

Experience is what you get when you thought you were going to get something else.

Hi Martin,

That is Susie Clements ( he was Ludlow Clements and a great guy ) & Gloria Porter; just to set things straight.

Susie ( nee Jones ) was originally from Portland, OR & Gloria is a Seattleite,
