Roger's sister Carleen asked me to post this in response to Andy's question. Smooth was right...the caricatures are from the Freak Brother comics. But each character represents one of the original 3 Freak Brothers. On the right is Carl Nelson (FB#1), on the left is Roger Nelson (FB#2), and in the middle is Wayne Nemic (FB#3). By the way...if anyone knows the where abouts of Wayne...can you have him contact Roger's family. They have been trying to get a hold of him. Thanks!!

Let's all join together and make sure that we grant Roger's wish for balloons!! I know many of you cannot make it to the service. If you would like your memory of Roger placed in a balloon...please email it to me at [email protected]. I will make sure it is placed in a balloon and presented at the service. Spread the Love ------------------------------- Our founder, builder, brother and father of what and who is Skydive Chicago has left us Memorial Service will be here at Skydive Chicago, Monday, June 16th, 2003 Memorial Jump is at 12:00 p.m. Services following at 1:00 p.m. (Outside if weather permits) Everyone is invited to attend and stay as long as you wish. Your prayers are greatly treasured. Appropriate dress would be appreciated, show your colors, wear the SDC logo or that of your home DZ. DZ casual is the dress code for the day. Roger wanted balloons Missy is asking everyone to write down a 'favorite memory' of Roger (be it funny, fond, or what-have-you) so she and Rook can keep them in a scrap book. It would be a great thing to have everyone show up with a balloon (no helium, filled with your own air!) with that piece of paper inside the balloon. We will collect all of the balloons, eventually pop them all and give the pieces of paper to Missy. ----------------------------------------------------- When you're going to extremes...you taste adrenaline!!

Anyone who cannot attend the service...but would like a balloon presented with your "favorite memory" or Roger in it....feel free to email your memory to me at [email protected] and I will make sure it gets taken care of. Spread the love! Karla ----------------------------------------------------- When you're going to extremes...you taste adrenaline!!

Thank you Chris for putting into words what is in the hearts of us all. Already, you help carry on the philosophy and vision of Roger. I can't thank you enough for that!! Blue skies Roger...we will continue to spread the love!! Karla ----------------------------------------------------- When you're going to extremes...you taste adrenaline!!

Please accept my apology. I guess I didn't think it through to well. I just have never seen so much spam before in my life...especially personalized to others besides myself. Well, guess I am stuck getting these...I will set up better filters. Again, Sangrio...sorry...didn't mean to accuse. Guess I should have read through my post before sending it...did seem a little harsh. ----------------------------------------------------- When you're going to extremes...you taste adrenaline!!

I am noticing a large number of spam emails that I am receiving to my dropzone.com account. Most of them are pornographic. I know that these are due to my name being sold by dropzone.com since most of those that are received are personalized to other dz.commers like Skymama, Skitzo, etc. So, somehow personal information go mixed up when the list was sold. I am very disappointed about this since I have been using my dz.com account as my main email account. Any ideas on if this can be rectified? ----------------------------------------------------- When you're going to extremes...you taste adrenaline!!

Wow...I was surprised to see this thread come back to life from 6 months ago. Well, an update since this post...I have since graduated AFP and have a total of 37 jumps now. Wish this crappy Chicago weather would cooperate a little more so that I can get more jumps in! But none the less, I still spent the past weekend at the dz hanging with my buddies (and my favorite dz.commer Sunshine). Guess my diagnosis was right from way back when...I am addicted. ----------------------------------------------------- When you're going to extremes...you taste adrenaline!!

"there was the great phone call from my favorite couple at 4:30am!! You kids are so silly" So glad you didn't get pissed and hang up on us! And you were such a good sport for talking to our drunk asses for so long!! But you did get us back with the 6 phone calls you made the next morning to remind us of how hungover we were. Well...might as well post my numbers... 4:0:0 Too bad it is so cold here in the midwest...I wanna jump!! ----------------------------------------------------- When you're going to extremes...you taste adrenaline!!

I have to disagree about their concert. I absolutely loved Incubus...then went to see them in concert and was disappointed. Now they sounded phenomenal...but there was no energy to the show. They just stood there when they performed and didn't try to get the crowd into it. I was so disappointed I haven't listened to any of their CDs since the concert. But that is just my opinion. ----------------------------------------------------- When you're going to extremes...you taste adrenaline!!

Once at O'hare, they took my mace that was on my keychain. Perfectly understandable...so I told them just to throw it out. They told me that if I still wanted it...to go back and hide it in one of the big planters and pick it up on my way back. Can you believe that? But that is what I did!! ----------------------------------------------------- When you're going to extremes...you taste adrenaline!!

I have dealt with similar issues and there are two suggestions I can offer you. Keep a log...when the dog is out barking, what damage they do to your property, etc. This will be helpful in court and for refreshing your memory. Second...call the cops on every occurence. This will seem useless at first...but eventually the cops will get sick of playing mediator and issue you a court date (I had a similar situation with a noisy neighbor). You will then have a chance to argue your case in front of a judge. Chances are the judge will give them one more chance to correct the situation without taking action...but don't give up. Just keep calling the cops each time it happens. Try and get copies of all the police reports so that you have them when you go to court. This will be a pain for you...but hopefully they will get the picture...and the parents will get involved. I would avoid all confrontation with the neighbor...you don't need to give them any ammo to weaken your arguement. Good luck!! ----------------------------------------------------- When you're going to extremes...you taste adrenaline!!

Too bad you guys weren't up for skinny-dipping! ----------------------------------------------------- When you're going to extremes...you taste adrenaline!!

What a lucky one I am with 2 such great guys!! Can't wait to make it back out to Perris to see these 2 sweeties again!! ----------------------------------------------------- When you're going to extremes...you taste adrenaline!!

My favorite is having someone "fall" out of the plane at a lower altitude...and then have someone look out the door and say "Hope he makes it". ----------------------------------------------------- When you're going to extremes...you taste adrenaline!!

Thank you so much Jack! I am really looking forward to jumping at Perris and meeting all kinds of wonderful new friends! I will make sure to find you when I get in town! Karla ----------------------------------------------------- When you're going to extremes...you taste adrenaline!!

And what fun would it be if you are on your best behavior?? ----------------------------------------------------- When you're going to extremes...you taste adrenaline!!

I was planning on sticking with RW for awhile...but tried sitflying this past weekend and I am hooked. I am really just looking to learn anything anyone will teach me!! I think I might be leaning more towards staying at Perris. Anyone wanna help show me around? ----------------------------------------------------- When you're going to extremes...you taste adrenaline!!
