skydiverbc 0 #1 March 22, 2005 who is the most interesting person you've met and what were they like? i run across a few every now and then who catch my attention and keep in my life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
windcatcher 0 #2 March 22, 2005 hmmm----I would say most of them were skydivers. The most interesting person I've met, would probably be my father, because he just has a different sense of humor, likes to shock people now and then, and he can come up with the craziest ways to have fun. Also, Brad, Spanky and Chad, all skydivers, they are pretty interesting because of the way they see life, the things they've experienced, etc. Mother to the cutest little thing in the world...

mcarchangel 0 #4 March 22, 2005 Probably Claudia Kennedy. I knew her when she was a lowly Colonel in the Army. She eventually retired as a Leiutenant General (three star). I can't say I ever really knew her, I was a Specialist in her Brigade and the longest conversation I ever had with her was about three minutes one Christmas day when she came to see the people who were working that day and say hi. I saw her speak several times, saw her at meetings (where I was hiding in a corner quiet as a churchmouse). She was one of the best officers I ever met, and at her level she was as alone as anyone can be in the Army. We had three Brigade commanders during my time in the unit, and she was far and away the star.------------------------------------------------------- "These are the old days, the bad days, the all-or-nothing days.

Nightingale 0 #6 March 22, 2005 My 7th grade geography/history teacher, Virginia Gannaway. She was amazing. She taught us that history could really be fun, that it was like the world's longest storybook filled with fascinating people. She taught us about different places, and she'd visited every single place we learned about. Instead of looking at pictures in a book, we looked at her vacation slides. When we started a unit, she'd greet us that day with the native language, dressed in the native clothes (or a reasonable school-appropriate version thereof), and we'd get to eat the native foods. I owe my love of travel and history completely to her. If it wasn't for her class, I'd never have gone to half the places I've visited, and would have missed out on a lot of wonderful moments and knowledge. She was the most amazing teacher I ever had, and my friends and I were sad when she retired, because of all the kids that won't get to benefit from being in her class.

WrongWay 0 #12 March 23, 2005 There are definitely a few, and some who I'm close with but not extremely close. Most of which are skydivers, but I won't name any here for their sake. But to those who are, and I doubt you know who you are, thanks for letting me know you, and for being my friend. The most interesting person I've ever met who is not someone I talk to on a regular basis (like celebs and stuff) would have to be Robin Williams.
