J, thanks for waking me up and directing me to this page. Pammy, you are my mentor. Ron's comments prove that he does not know you and has no comprehension of your selfless contributions here in California. I arrived at Perris from Nashville with 50 jumps, no booties, a frap hat, and the worst body position you can imagine. I was frustrated and had no confidence. You shared your faith and your ideas with little old me. Pammy, you and you alone motivated me to get good information and get to the wind tunnel in Florida to learn to fly, and then hire coaches to train me. That was 2001 and now I am realizing my dream of being on a 4-way team. I miss Perris like crazy, but I love your e-mails and now I joined dropzone.com so I can follow posts from you and your growing number of fellow 4-way nuts. I too feel that going to the wind tunnel without coaching, especially the first time, is not a prudent use of money so Ron can just go ahead and criticize me all over the place too.
