Sort of the same way some news reporters incorrectly or hastily "assume"? I'm just sayin'! _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

Almost speechless, this is so hard to believe. We've lost a legend, a friend, a leader. Spider was such an influence to so many of us "Old Timers". You'll be missed, old friend. Heart felt condolences to Nancy and the family. Rest easy Spider. _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

Larry, so terribly sorry for your loss. _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

BSBD-Peace Fly free, Jordan.! _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

See? It was as easy as falling out of a plane! Right? Seriously, I'm happy you're back in the air. Stay safe!!! SRA rocks! Heheh! _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

Fly free. RIP, Bob. _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

The feedback you've been given above is good. Best advice IMO is talk to the staff at the DZ of your choice and WELCOME back! You really should check out "Skydiver Resurrection Award" (SRA) on Face Book. They are a loose group of skydivers who spent at least 10 years away from the sport and them "came back". Fun people! _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

Rest In Peace! You've earned it. Respect! _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

So okay--the 'Powers-That-Be' (and represent us!) were thinking! They just weren't thinking very clearly! _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

Blue skies, fly free Jay. _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

...and the ranks keep getting thinner. Bob was a great guy and will be missed. RIP Bob, fly free my friend. _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

You asked: "Question: Anybody know of where I can come by a whole new circle of friends and a new family while I'm waiting for the cast to come off and get the hell back up there? " Answer: You already did...the day you started jumping! _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

Sad news. Fly free Barry! Peace. _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

Okay, I'll play: I think Maytown PA had the best 'pea gravel pit' in the country. Just hitting the 'peas' was reason for celebration! By the way, were you equipped with a "gravel ban"? _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

We aren't able to make it this year. Sh*t, bum sh*t! Everybody play safe, okay? _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

Blue Skies, fly free Jim. _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

Rest In Peace, Laddie. _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

You're joking! Right? _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

We lost a long time member of the skydiving community on July 5, 2013. John "Big Bad John" Gordon, D-6068, died in a traffic accident. John, 81, was a member of JOES (Jumpers Over Eighty) and SRA, as well as being a ski school instructor and motorcycle enthusiast. He made over 10,000 jumps during his lifetime. He will be missed! Blue skies, John. _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

Looks like this thread has been around for a while. I stumbled across this web page . Pretty good representation there, (at that time). http://maytownparachute.bizland.com/history/history.htm _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

Skydiving has lost another "great guy". You'll be missed, Mike! Fly free, my friend. BSBD _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

Blue Skies, Ken. Rest easy. _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

Fly free, Larry! R.I.P. my friend. _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

Hmmm! Yesterdays source of pride...todays source of curiosity. _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

Is anyone here in touch with Woody McKay, Tom Schapanski, or Bob Richardson? Hopefully they're still with us, on this side of the grass. "Pioneers of Sport Parachuting", Kim Knor ([email protected]), needs their contact info. ( Phone #, mailing address and email address) in order to forward information ref. the next reunion. _________________________________________ The older I get, the better I was!
