Ira 0 #1 December 11, 2003 According to the Rantoul Press (this weeks edition), the lawsuit involving the jumper killed by the Helicopter has been dismissed. They also had a bit in there about a possible 5 year contract for the WFFC to be in Rantoul. The only kicker was a possible added $10 fee to help pay for police, water, electricity for the event.
