klingeme 1 #33 May 22, 2002 "A few years ago I would have said . . . 'IT Trainer'"Ha, I have to laugh at this because I have this title for 2 more days after which, I'm being RIF'ed but now my answers.1. Skydiver - It has ruled my life since my first jump2. Teacher - In a classroom setting or helping out with a FJC, or taking someone with 20 some jumps on their first sit jump.3. Entertainer - Anyone who knows me knows I'm always looking for the funny side of a story.4. Generous - with my time, my jumps (can you video this and tell me what I'm dong wrong), with my knowledge...5. Kid-at-heart - My motto is "I'll grow old but will not grow up."Mark KlingelhoeferMark Klingelhoefer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmytavino 16 #39 May 24, 2002 for jtval...New Yawk!!!! for sure!!! born and raised,,, but most of my jumpin' has been done Upstate.....real Up state.... Made some loads in Stormville,,( I grew up in nearby Brewster) before Billy and Kay and the crowd, moved over to the Ranch around 20 yrs. ago....Made a bunch at Gardiner over the years,, Never have skydived on Long Island,,, though I bet the view is great. Been livin' in Rochester for over 30 yrs.. started jumpin here. Frequentedthe Seneca Falls Club, south west of Syracuse in the '70's.Jumped with Kinger and his people at Finger lakes Skydivers in Ovid NY,made a few with Roch. Skydivers over the years, cause they were nearby..... but got tired of waiting for the DZO to get a bigger plane......I jumped with Frontier Skydivers for years,,, but mosty as a visitor,,,, when Frontier began bringing in turbines on a regular basis,,,,I made sure that my dues were up to date, each year, and I traveled an hour and a half each way, to SUPPORT the planes..... And so I get out to the Club (which is just N E of Niagara Falls), now as often as I can..Thanks to Paul Fayard. Roger Nelson, Marco at Aerostore, Steve Stewart, Mike Mullins, .Jim West, and especially Tim and Sherry Butcher at Airohio for sending us aircraft over the years....And thanks also to our great Board of Directors, Instructional Staff, and club volunteers.........Consider yourself invited to join us , anytime...Have a good season JTval,signed,, JT vino........
