Johnny was always positive and excited about life. I used to tease Johnny on his amazing life of SCUBA Diving and skydiving. He loved to do CRW, wingsuit flying, four way and most of all being with his friends. I can't say I ever remember Johnny ever being upset about anything. He treated everyone consistently the same.

If there is anything that I remember most about Johnny was his demeanor and his eyes. He always seemed to be very gentle, was never in a rush and made time for you. His eyes gave you the sense of an old heart and a caring spirit. He loved skydiving, but most of all he loved being with his friends. He spoke lovingly of his family and especially his kids.

Skydive Carolina will not forget you and neither will your students.
As we reflect on your life, we will celebrate and be glad we knew you.
You've left us with the legacy of how we should all treat each other - with kindness and respect.

God Bless Johnny.

Skydive Carolina will be hosting some RW big ways with Airspeed's finest!

Bobo Loco - Good to hear from you! Life in Chester is good - all are behaving themselves (well most all). Hope to see you again soon my brother.

Chile - I do have XXL. I can get it in the mail to you tomorrow if you like....We sold them for $16 - I'll give it to you for that - no charge for shipping.

-Antigua

Who is Bobo Loco Rodriguez!

I can help you out! What do you need? i.e. sizes etc.

I can talk to pepe if you want the Got Bumps tees and I have the Family of Freaks tees from the Reunion boogie in tee shirt and baby doll sizes.

We'll help you out!

We have a CASA this weekend as well! Come jump with us this weekend......

-Antigua Rodriguez

Final Numbers for the weekend:

171 Registered and 1,248 jumps were made.

Everyone had an absolute blast! The dates for the Second Annual Rodriguez Brothers Family Reunion Boogie have already been set!

Everyone mark your calendars for June 8-10 2007!
I hope all the same teams will be there!

Thanks for all those that came! What a great weekend it was!!!!

Greetings to all! Thanks to all who came out and participated! I'm thrilled that all had a good time - I had a blast. My voice is shot from too much microphone time!

While the vibe is still hot, I would like to declare the date of the Second Annual Family Reunion Boogie be returned back to the original Cinco de Mayo date - May 4-6 2007. Unless anyone has an objection - I'll put it on the calendar - let the other teams know to prepare (maybe add one more team) let vendors know to earmark the date and prepare for a bigger and better boogie.

I will be submitting articles / pictures to Parachutist and Skydiving this week. If anyone has any cool shots (initiation jumps / inflatables / raft dives / Jive Jam) please e-mail to me and I will get it in my submissions.

Many thanks to all team leaders that did an excellent job organizing:

El Prez
Mike Wolfe (Hellfish #15)
Johnny Gates (right up until the last load on Sunday)
Brooke Schultz - Mafia
Denis / Explosivo - Dirty Sanchez

If anyone did not get an event tee-shirt, I have about 15 tees left. For the same $15, I'll be happy to send it to you -shipping free of charge. Credit cards accepted :-) [email protected]

Many thanks to Gene Fulton for the AMAZING new steps for the Rodriguez Brothers! We'll have to have an Otter at next year's boogie just to be able to use it!

Many thanks to Perra, Corazon,Nenita, Annette and all ladies who did an amazing job both decorating / lighting the DZ and a special thank you to Perra for her donations of time and money and for making her amazing jello shots!

Thanks to Cajones for making the journey and making initiations feel as if you were at the WFFC.

Shaggio for finger time on the tequila machine.

Bolas for.......well...being Bolas! A true legend of the Rodriguez Brothers.

The staff at Skydive Carolina!

Pepe Rodriguez for starting a damn good thing!

The danger of saying thank you in a public forum is that you may forget someone - There are so many that made the weekend great - if I missed you - my apologies!

P.S. If anyone has any video / stills of Richie Pretto's jumps from the weekend - he'd be so grateful to have any evidence of it. He wants to show all his friends in Venezuela what he did with his brothers Rodriguez!

That is all!

3 Days, 23 Hours, 29 Minutes.
CASA arrives 10am on Friday

Packing Kathy will now be at the Family Reunion Boogie! Plentiful packers everywhere!

Things are shaping up nicely! I will be adding Bombero Rodriguez to the roll call list as he is still incompetent with computers! Who is Bombero Rodriguez!!!!!!

Also, final tee shirt designs are being finalized as we speak - with an unexpected late change.....Bring $15 for your tees 'cos once they sell out - they're gone!

T-minus 7 days, 23 hours, 39 minutes untill the boogie commences.

Ganja - spoke with PD today - they will have your Katana 170 available for you to demo....

I have returned married and honey-mooned. Hmmmmm...... I think I am ready for a family reunion!!!! See you in 11 days!
