Thanx Perris

How to start? My Dad died a couple of weeks ago and as I was packing to fly out to his house I saw my rig and without thought brought it with me I didn't realize I had a plan till I was on the plane. Then it came to me or it was there all the time. I would scatter my dads ashes on a jump. This seemed very fitting to me since my father loved almost anything that flew (he flew RC gliders and took a couple of glider flights in the Perris area). I discussed it with my family and they agreed that it was the right thing to do so I called Perris and talked to Jack the DZM and he said he would arrange it and he certainly did Craig O'Brien did the photography and a bunch of Swiss jumpers did the jump with me. the jump went well and my fathers ashes left a mark in the sky that pales in comparison to the mark he made in my life. So I would like to take this time to thank everyone at Perris especially Jack, Craig, Nicholas, Gills and all the other Swiss jumpers. You people made a time of grief a little easier to deal with
PS I posted a couple of the pics in the special jumps

John, I am so sorry for your loss.
And I am glad you were able to celebrate his life, and help him find the freedom of the sky. He is where he belongs, and he will always be with you, too.
And thank you to Jack and the Swiss guys who helped you through this time.
Blue Skies, Snowflake's Dad, Blue skies.
Michele
