I don't think the 20-year-old issue means anything in isolation, unless there have been significant changes in the science or knowledge-base in those years. Have there? I would expect newer programs to be more efficient in how they approach the data set, but I'm unclear how the underlying field has changed in that time. Does anyone know?

Hi Dubosej, Contact these guys: United States Parachute Association > Home (uspa.org) Jerry Baumchen D-1543 PS) I joined PCA the summer of 1964.

I was a skydiver in the 1960s member of PCA . I can find no record of the early organization I hold D1080 but can find no records of the early D license holders.

Yeah, you're right. Just looked it up in the book. They are indeed quite specific about it. Yikes... How did Barb mess that up so badly?

Check out page 53-54 in the book. It’s clear that it was Woodburn. They mention Aurora and there is a map. They also visit the spot later in the book.

The Forman’s wrote the book 20 years after discussing this with Barb. Maybe they are misremembering what Barb said. Perhaps she actually said that she jumped near Woodland and they misremembered it as Woodburn.

It's important to point out that Barb was not pulled out of a hat. There was a suspicion that she was Clara. No one was claiming Sheridan Petersen was Clara or William Reca. I encourage more analysis into this, but I believe it will not yield a different result than the original.

Did Dayton/Forman claim to have landed at Woodburn OR ?
