Also here in Houston is "Freddie" (don't know his last name), who is a long time deaf skydiver. Then there is John Woo out in California. Those are the only two that I can think of off the top of my head. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyangel2 2 #5 February 17, 2004 Don you are correct about John. Now, what ever you do, don't tell him about this place, cause then we'll never get rid of him.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

He jumps at Waller occasionally, but is more often found at Gladewater or Spaceland (I think!). He is an extremely nice, funny, helpful, generous man who I am fortunate enough to call a friend. He is back row left on the attached picture from the deaf 15-way. The pic was taken from http://www.deafskydivers.org. Cheers! Nick Hobbes: "How come we play 'War' and not 'Peace'?"

Dave's got the most skydives of all the deaf skydivers in the world (should be over 3000 jumps by now), and been jumping continuously the longest (31 years). Very accomplished freefaller, videographer and swooper. Hope to see him on here sometimes!
