low&slow

Crazy . . . . when I posted this I thought I had marked all of the boxes correctly to receive an email if anyone responded. Because the long awaited email never showed up, I thought it wouldn't hurt to check the site anyhow. Imagine my surprise when I saw what I had started. To answer some of the questions from somewhere in the above writings: This is an emergency chute - was a cushion in a glider a few times. Never jumped. The owner passed away in 1999 and his widow gave it to me. I don't have a need for it and as stated earlier, I just don't want it to go in the dump. Maybe it is worth something to someone? Maybe a donation to a museum or school? As to the other point - the "Notify me of replies" appears to be on (it is in green after all). Let's see if it works this time. Thanks.

I have a Para-phernalia Softie that has to be at least 24 years old. I had it inspected and packed by a master rigger in about 2013. It has been stored in the house (heated and air-conditioned) and way out of the sun its entire life. I really would like to see it go to some use - rather than the trash heap. A a jumper at the local airshow said this was the forum to use to get a little clarity on the situation and maybe a really good answer/recommendation. What say you?
