As is their way, Skydive Carolina, Steve Vaughn, Judy Girrard and camera flyer Quincy Kennedy did an awesome job.

Not just jumping. Last year I was putting up christmas lights and over reached a little, you know, didnt want to move the ladder for that last little strand. Ladder and I went down. My wife made the comment "Nice PLF". I didn't even realize that that is how I landed. I moved the ladder next time _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss

Just got a note from James at Chester: "I wanted to inform the jump community that an exclusive story will be released on Good Morning America (ABC) in the morning (Tuesday, February 3rd) from 7:31am thru 7:38am EST. Chip's tandem student, Daniel Pharr will be interviewed by Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts.

Man, I was there dropping off some gear on Saturday. If I recall, he was one of the instructors on my first AFF jumps. He will surely be missed. Personal note: My brother passed away on Jan 8th, now this. This year is really starting off bad _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss

I stand corrected. I just got a call from james and we lined out a gameplan. I should have been more patient _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss

The first email and Voicemail I left were for James. I'll try again. Thanks _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss

Ok, I'm disapointed. Over the last couple of weeks I have sent email, left voicemail and yesterday left 2 messages at Chester regarding getting current and doing the ash dive with no response. I'm gonna try Raeford. While I jumped there a couple of times, Tom didn't jump there but perhaps I can accomplish his last wish there. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss

Didn't die skydiving. Died in his office. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss

Would it be bad luck to jump his gear. Size isnt a problem. I weigh right at 200 and his chute is somewhere around a 290. I guess it would be floaty _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss

Thank you for your thoughts. Dont think I could get them in the Air (he never could) . It will be ok, I will do it for Tom. They will be there for support.
