Don't get your hopes up TOO much. Skydive Chicago is not very crw friendly. Rook might let you do crw if there is only going to be one plane on the ground. Or maybe the first jump of the day or the last one. But - good luck otherwise. I know Bob Felt will be there. He may have a spare canopy on him. But that won't do much good if they won't let you do it. We've tried the last three years and had to really work it to get up. Bring you RW canopy, too! Linda Lu CRW Diva #73

HEY NOW! We don't get snow in Wisconsin until Halloween! Linda Lu CRW Diva #73

Excellent, as usual! Linda Lu CRW Diva #73

I'm not really sure how many there were from the bench on the 1st 100-way, though I don't think there were many. After the 100-way was successfully built however, 14 were moved in from the bench to try it a second time so more people could get their name on the record. All 100 docked, but it was not official because of a bad grip. But hey - they can still say they docked on a 100-way, even though it's not an official world record! Still quite an achievement!

Soooooo........ how did it go? Linda Lu CRW Diva #73

There are some exceptional close-ups of people in this batch of pictures. Nice job, April. (and Razz?) Some of these should be printed up and framed! They should use these for world record ID badges, too. Better than those mug shots from the last one! :-) Linda Lu CRW Diva #73

How do you know balut? And San Miguel beer? You must have been to the Philippines, too. Terribly offensive to smell and eat. I can imagine that the effects would make even a pilot jump out. Linda Lu CRW Diva #73

That would be great to bring to a crw camp! Bored crw dogs on a weather hold - I can see it now. Bring two - we can have races! Linda Lu CRW Diva #73

Hey Dawgs and Dawgesses and puppies, Z-Hills is the place to be January 13 -15 for a weekend of CReW! Mike Lewis has agreed to organize on Saturday and Sunday. Me, hairy Bob and Don will be there on Monday the 15th also because of the MLK holiday, for anyone else who is around. Sorry for the short notice. Hopefully there will be a good turnout - at the least some Florida Dawgs and pups who can show up for one or both days. There are two coming from Wisconsin already! Any other states? I've already heard from some people - lets gets some more! Let me know and I'll add you on. THE LIST 1. Mike Lewis - organizer 2. Linda Ruiz 3. Bob Felt 4. Don Bromley 5. Kevin Keenan 6.

One of the less expensive choices is the Hotel Villa Real. Not real fancy, but it's nice and close, and cheap. It's good enough for Jason and Viv! They stayed there last year, too. Linda Lu CRW Diva #73

Wow! There are already 88 people on "the list" ! You guys work fast! Linda Lu CRW Diva #73
