Greetings to all Woofers reading this post! Did a whois search on skydog.com & hell a record company has snagged it. So I did the reasonable Skydog thing & snagged some others. Here's the deal: We now have an internet voice! And it's up to all of you to tell me which one to bring alive. I welcome any and all information regarding the history of the Skydogs, the assigned numbers and whatever...etc. This is not an attempt to hijack any existing website or that type of BS. Just to put the message out. Not everyone can be on a team or make 500 jumps a year but everyone can contribute and enjoy the Skydog Mantra. I know that Hutch is enjoying this shit....where ever he is! So here are your choices. Send me an email with your choice. The voting is open until April 28th! Here they are: Skydog-Woof.com SkydogSkydiving.com SkydogHutch.com Woof-Woof-Woof.com Send me an email with you selection...blah blah blah. Vote often and many times. Woof Woof Woof Is the beer light on? Don't go away mad....just go away!

Woof...Woof.....Woof......from Mary! There will be 3 memorial services for Hutch. The first one will be hosted by his brothers the Tradesmen motorcycle club. It will be at Bryant’s Ice House in Katy, Tx on April 14th in the afternoon. The next one will be at Sky Dive San Marcos in San Marcos, Tx on April 28th late afternoon. This will include a missing man formation with scattering of his ashes and full military honors. The third service will celebrate his Buddist traditions and his life. It will be on April 29th at the VFW Hall/Museum in Katy, Tx at 2:00p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend one or all of these celebrations. If you wish to send flowers for the last service you can send them to 2826 East Elm Circle Katy, Tx 77493 shortly before the 29th, or you can make a donation to Houston Hospice in his honor. Woof! Mary Wickizer Hutchinson Don't go away mad....just go away!

Just receive this from Hutch's email: Hutch passed away at 4:47 a.m. Feb 20th after a long, hard battle with cancer. When he passed he was an inpatient at Houston Hospice, and due to their exceptional care his passing was very peaceful. He did not struggle and was not in any pain; he actually had a slight smile on his face. There will be three memorial "services" to, as Hutch wanted, celebrate life; his desire for these services were among his last requests. - The first will be for his brothers, the Tradesmen, and anyone else that wants to participate at a local ice house. If you want to come, wear your colors and be prepared for rampant toasting. - The second will be at Sky Dive San Marcos, and it will include a missing man formation and full military honors. - The third service will be a celebration that will honor his Buddist lineage/tradition and will include many spiritual aspects. We, and Hutch, welcome anyone and everyone to all three services, or one if you prefer. Due to scheduling issues we do not yet have set dates, but to honor his wishes we anticipate a timeframe of mid-April. In the Spring we celebrate life and new beginnings, and that is what Hutch is all about. For those wishing to attend all three services, we will try to have them all on one weekend, weather permitting. I know many of you will be from out of town and I will let you know the dates as soon as possible so you can make travel arrangements. Please do not send any flowers until we have set dates for the services; or, per Hutch’s wishes, you can make a donation at any time to Houston Hospice’s inpatient services at www.houstonhospice.org From Hutch, a gentle "woof, and from Mary, with more information to come. Don't go away mad....just go away!

Of Course, Woof Woof Woof. Hutch gave me these rules during our last visit. So now everyone has a copy from Hutch. Damn, we all miss him. Skydog 902 Don't go away mad....just go away!

Hutch gave me a set of the Skydog rules. I'll scan 'em and post 'em up tonight. Woof Woof Woof. Don't go away mad....just go away!

Here's an email from Andie in England..... damn you know, someone else who had lived through as much as Hutch, and been where he had been, might have turned out to be a really twisted mf. Not Hutch. And, you know, I think there are just a few times in your life that you are lucky enough to come across someone who is so genuine and so open and so giving of energy that you can instantly picture their face and hear their voice and smile at the memory years after you last met them. That was Hutch. I just reran a video from Quincy - I don't know maybe it was taken 10 years ago - a helicopter jump where Skydive Houston chartered the whole ride.... there's this guy, big, bandanna'd, in the middle of it all, and smiling from ear to ear. That was Hutch. Don, you used to say I was from South Texas, waaaaay South Texas... and when I first met Hutch I thought I was getting special treatment because of my Aussie accent.... some connection with his past, but I don't think this was it. I think Hutch just genuinely liked people - and people genuinely liked Hutch. He's one guy I really look forward to hooking up with in the big beyond. damn. Andrew Don't go away mad....just go away!

Woof Woof Woof...... I won't claim any more friendship than others with the Skydog.And having fun and being safe is what a Skydog is all about. Woof Woof Woof. Do the serious stuff on the ground.....have fun in the air. He loved the WFFC, Ballunarfest, Herc Boogie, SCR's and all of his buddies in Texas and Florida. Hutch was a good person and a great ambassador for the sport. If you ever skydived with him, then you know about his love for the sport. Hell most of my skydives with him didn't work out, but damn we had a lot of fun! I'd heard that he was sick...very sick about a year back. His last visit to the dz was about 6-7 weeks ago. He was still talking about jumping......holding at jump#1485. My last visit with Hutch was three weeks ago. We visited while Mary went to the cleaners. He knew the end was approaching. Hutch was using a walker and even though his body was wearing out, his wit was still keen. What do you say to a dying skydiver? You talk about skydiving of course! That #1485 stuck in my head so I gave him 15 of my jumps. Skydogs can do that kind of shit. Hutch did not know about Johnny Gates' demise. I told him about how Johnny died. Hutch responded "That fucker" and shaking his head slowly and smiling...."that lucky son of a bitch...died doing what he loved best...what a way to go... I just wish." We spoke about a lot of other things. I could see that he was tiring & our visit was over... way too soon. Mary returned and I left. The sport has lost a kindred spirit. Hutch would want you to carry on in the skydog way....... Woof Woof Woof! Sometime next month after a day of jumping...... I'll buy some beer and we can tell stories around the bonfire. Hutch would like that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________________________________ Don't go away mad....just go away!

Did a demo with a spectre 230 @ WFFC a couple of years ago. Twas very hard opening and knocked my skydiving ass out.....came to and landed without further adieu. So hell I bought one!!!!!! Got more that 1,000 jumps on spectres....one reserve ride. Packed it at home with good vibes, respect and love. Bastard opened with a bird's nest and flat spin.,..chop chop...adios MF! Go figure! Don't go away mad....just go away!

Don't you find it ironic that Sheridan wants to ban air guns? http://www.sheridanairguns.com/[url] Don't go away mad....just go away!

I've received several phishing calls on my cell phone this week. The caller tells me that I've won $5,000 bucks and they need my bank account number for a direct deposit. I giv'em a line of shit and they are happy. Obviously it's a scam....so what would tell'em when they call YOU? Don't go away mad....just go away!

Oh SHIT...that's way too much chemistry for me!!!!! Try this stuff, it's made with Jalapeno hots!!!! http://www.zostrix.com/pages/clinical.asp Don't go away mad....just go away!

Hmmmm...Objections to Hillary. Let's see. 1. She and Ted"Chappaquiddick Kid" Kennedy want to desperately redistribute the wealth in this country. They are trying to do this by taxing those that have taken responsibilty for their own future and are rewarded financially to support a growing "leach" class of society that does not want to achieve anything at all. 2. I am not a gun owner but I strongly believe that Hillary is not really after gun control but firearm confiscation. Do we really want to be treated like those poor bastards in Mexico? They have some of the strongest gun controls around and look at the internal strife of that place. 3. Have you forgotten about her attempt to nationalize healthcare? She would try and turn this country into a socialized utopia. 4.Face it. Bill Clinton is/was a bumbling idiot without her. I truly believe that she ran the presidency for those eight years. Look at some of the bs that went on and on. It all started with travel gate and escalated from there. A lot of people don't trust her and with good reason. Chao! Don't go away mad....just go away!

Someone farted on a Otter load. Not just a musty fart.....this was a major, nasty bastard, dead gerbil in your ass, eye burning fart, gag and heave fart......... Damn near got me.....did get the student across from me. At least he held most of it in. Jumpmasters took him to the door and he exploded... Damn that was nasty! Needless to say, student dude rode it down. Afterwards it was funny as Hell. Student had a great sense of humor later on the ground. We all felt bad for him. 'Cause we all almost puked. No one ever 'fessed up..cause we would have hammered a butt plug in 'em and sealed it with superglue! Don't go away mad....just go away!

Congrats! Enjoy your progression! Hang around after hours....never hurts to bring beer, snacks...etc. Talk to the high timers......you'll learn tons of info! Blue Skys! Don't go away mad....just go away!

Yahooooooooo!!!!! He'll be 76 if he lasts the 24 years. Just finished the book "The Smartest Guys in the Room". Damn great book. Got it for $1.50 used... They were a bunch of pompous, lying, thieving bastards. Ruined a bunch of good lives. Good bye Jeff and Andy! Don't go away mad....just go away!
