I remember several jumps with Toma taking me up when I had about 50 jumps to do drill dives. I still have fond memories of those jumps. I'll miss you Toma. May you smile down on us until we meet again. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skykatherine 0 #7 September 2, 2010 Great tribute Jimmy.
