In the summer of 1963, I was working a summer job for Base Civil Engineering (cutting weeds) at Richards Gebaur Air Force Base. On July 4, I drove over to Mission Road Airport in Kansas and jumped a Cessna 175 and a Cessna 172 (according to my log book). I went back a couple of more weekends in July. Larry Upp, or LA Upp C413 signed my log book. We were jumping rounds back then, and needless to say, it was hot.
