SBS 0 #2 December 5, 2001 Wow, that looks like a really cool raffle. I think I will participate right away. Although my handle looks a lot like that of the person who originally posted the announcement, I assure you, I am mearly a member of the skydiving public who thinks that everyone should get involved in this raffle.:-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 273 #4 December 5, 2001 Boy I'd be really bummed out if I bought a couple of raffle tickets and ended up winning the free pair of Firefly freefly pants or the 35% off certificate for an Icarus canopy or the 50% off certificate for a Reflex II or the 50% off certificate for any Flitesuit or the free Good Stuff video or DVD.... Yeah, instead of buying raffle tickets I think I'll go spend my money on groceries.... pull and flare,lisa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mountainman 0 #5 December 5, 2001 Hahaha....hey guys, I know that my handle may suggest that I am the 2nd-in-command post whore, however, I am really a mild mannered skydiver that is just wishing for good weather this weekend. Don't let it fool you! I couldn't help it...-------------http://www.JumpinDuo.com"oh no. Not another one"-Alienangel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Milo 0 #11 December 6, 2001 fwiw, I never met Taya. But I did a web search on her name and read an article she wrote where she said:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Skydiving is an expression of freedom, courage, and individuality, a physical and visceral celebration of life at its most intense and beautiful. At the very least, it will be the best adrenaline rush you've ever had. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------That's closer to describing my feelings about skydiving than I have been able to put into words myself.Milolink:http://www.reckonmag.com/articles/issue7_article1_p1.htmAnother interesting link (not about skydiving):http://www.impactboston.com/stories.htm#mideast Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SBS 0 #17 December 6, 2001 In answer to a question that has come up a couple of times...Anything anyone contributes is going to help...whether it's $1 or $10, $5 or $50. So, if you want a chance to win some stuff, throw a couple of bucks in an envelope and support a good cause.Also, thank you guys for your nice comments. Moreso than the money raised, the moral support is fantastic. I'll definitely pass them on, if she hasn't seen them already.Blue Ones,Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
