Anyone notice ,that there are very few female fatalaties?Being there are large number of female Skydivers.They must be doing something right.

When iwas stationed in Bamberg Germany in 1981.I read a URARMY mag and .That had an article on Skydiving.That s how i hooked up with Tom Schaffer.Who ran a Auto insurance agency for GIS,in Bamberg.And he had about forty rigs.mostly para commanders and Papillions. and a few Strato clouds and a jalbert Para foil he jumped himself.I think it cost me around a hundred dollars for the training and the use of his gear for the entire time that i chose to use it. He would come and pick us up at the barracks on saturdays and take us to the drop zone.Sometimes we got milatary hueys.jump all day for a dollar.and other time we would go to German dzs.He gave my first jump certificate to my fist sergent.with out my knowledge.And was presented to me in front of the company formation. I always had great admiration for this man.And to this day.Any one else out there start jumping with Tom.or know if hes still alive?
