Share this post Link to post Share on other sites base587 0 #27 October 19, 2004 Personal high light of my first (and last) BD- After over delaying, I landed short, on a large dry rock on the shore line...unfortunately taking out a huge tree branch as I set down which summarily hauled me off into the river. When I finally got to the shore with the help of two great volunteers, completely soaked, separating my canopy from the large tree limb.... A friendly local whuffo lady (so I thought) was videoing my difficulties. We chatted for several minutes about jumping and where I was from and why I did it. After asking my name, she said in a quiet unassuming way "my name is Jean.....Jean Boenish" It was like finding my long lost mother or something. I gave her a big (wet) hug and said "Hi, base 587". SHE "Hi....base #3" "I always told people to land well in the river if they couldn't make the LZ, but they never listened to me then..." she said smiling. We spoke for 15 min more and reaffirmed my reasons for getting into and eventually out of the sport. Very cool. Thankyou Jean. I'm glad to have finally met you.
