freakyrat 1 #3 April 10, 2011 Audrey was a genuinely nice lady who I first met at one of the POP's World Meets. She had a long skydiving life and was known at DZ's across the globe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tiger 0 #5 April 10, 2011 This is very sad news. She was always an encouraging site at Whenuapai when I was a new Pops. She was a unique lady. Blue skies, Audrey. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmarshall234 14 #6 April 11, 2011 She put me out on my very first jump. A static line, gutter gear, Cessna 182 jump at Perris Valley in Oct of 78. W. Ski and Doo-da taught the FJC the weekend prior, but we were winded and came back the following weekend and jumped with her. There were 56 of us in that FJC and we were originally going to go out of the DC-3. With characters like these, it's no wonder I fell in love with the sport. Blue skies - Audrey F. Jackman I-78.

mjosparky 4 #7 April 11, 2011 Robert she was one of a kind. I first met her at Perris when she first came over. She could drive you crazy but you could never get mad. SparkyMy idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissBuffDiver 0 #8 April 11, 2011 She was a great friend over the yrs and was a blast this past yr on FaceBook. Love her comments and all the photos from her and her daughter Pam. She will be missed and of course, never forgotten. So, where have you been Sparky? Did you divorce FaceBook?Sandy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmarshall234 14 #9 April 11, 2011 I only had her for two jumps and she left two impressions: She seemed very competent and she made it FUN! I remember that hat too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,363 #11 April 11, 2011 Hi 3331, I only met her once, at the first POPS World Meet in Australia; but she was sure a fun person. IIRC she was the first or second person to be hauled off in an ambulance when accuracy started. I was either the fourth of fifth to be hauled off.

33zulu 22 #19 April 16, 2011 Bummer news. Glad I'd gotten in touch with her in the past few months. Always a cheerful disposition, even in tough times. First met her at Pelicanland back in '76-'77. Here's a shot of her at the 1980 (?) Nationals. RIP, Audrey. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
