turtlespeed 220 #227 December 7, 2007 I'll ask the mods to make another sticky if they will - but we have set up a paypal account for the Parachutist article and all other expenses. Go to Paypal and enter "SkinnyShrek@live.com" Thanks, all of you.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From the hangar to our campers is kind of like a hike... you have to cross a bridge and enter the woods! just because it is only 150 ft tops doesn't make it any less of a hike!

skydivegirl 0 #231 December 7, 2007 Quote Yesterday, someone posted that they had arrested somebody?? Here is what I read not 2 hours ago - however, since then that has been changed/updated If you read it carefully though they're contradicting themselves. "We've got a few suspects without being specific. We are tracking some leads and hopefully we'll have some suspects come out of those leads, but we are actively pursing it right now." Basically Turtle is right.... we'll just have to be patient and see. I've discovered that I'm not a very patient person. Pink Mafia Sis #26 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RfukfreeflyingW 0 #232 December 7, 2007 I know I don't post on here but once a year, but Lee is going to be missed by more people then can possibly be imagined. I've known him for many years, and his wedding was still probably the best wedding I have ever been to. I'll miss you lee.---- -God, you are the perfect amount of dumb...

wontbcaged 0 #233 December 7, 2007 Last Christmas was spent with our Grandson (Turtle) and his daughter. Lee and Brandy had invited Turtle to visit and meet Lee's parents from England. It made no difference to Lee and Brandy that three more of us would be visiting. What a great group of people. They made us feel as if we had known them for years. When you have met Lee's parents you can see where his smile and love for life came from. Brandy, our love goes out to you. I'm glad you have the Skydive family. Lee's parents...our love to both of you. Our heart aches. Marilyn and Larry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KathleenL 0 #236 December 7, 2007 I just PM'ed Spence and he said that pay pal charges fees too. I am going to call Hans and see someone at the farm will organize a fund. If I hear anything I will post it. Kathleen PS I told Spence that when they catch this moron and he goes on trial that we all need to make a road trip to FL and pack out the court room for Brandy.

If I hear anything I will post it. Kathleen I did suggest that the poker game we plan on having at The Farm this Saturday be a charity event with all proceeds going to Brandy, and anyone else not playing can contribute as well. Maybe some of that money, if designated specifically, can be used for the Parachutist memorial page. Quote PS I told Spence that when they catch this moron and he goes on trial that we all need to make a road trip to FL and pack out the court room for Brandy. That would be awesome. I know it won't bring Lee back, but wouldn't it be a trip if we all gang-tackled that perp and beat the shit out of him? There wouldn't be enough bailiffs and cops to stop us all. But hey, I'm not saying do it. Just the thought of it would make me smile.

warpedskydiver 0 #245 December 7, 2007 Lee would be proud of what you guys are doing. To contribute, or help others when you are wealthy and doing fine, is admirable, but to do so when you have to do without for yourself, is truly worthy of being called GREAT/Unselfish. It's just like when you are eating, and don't have much money, but offer half of what is on your plate because someone is too proud to say they are starving, and have no money.

chaoskitty 0 #247 December 7, 2007 Can I ask a favor of everyone? Please stop making comments about causing harm to the person responsible for this. They absolutely deserve to be caught, prosecuted, and punished, but when you talk about taking it upon yourselves, it just continues the cycle of violence and hate. I can't help but think that they have a family and friends who would be just as hurt as we are. Its not our responsibility. Retribution is just as bad as the original act. I'm not going to lecture any more or ask you to agree, but please, as a personal favor, it hurts me to read those comments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
