jdobleman 0 #2 May 9, 2013 Damn, met Sandy at this year's SOS record. Great guy, he was docking across from me. Inspirational story on how he got started when Deland said he was too old. Looked forward to jumping with him in the future. Blue skies Sandy. madjohn Main goals in life: Be on the "Jumpers Over Eighty" (JOE) World Record and attend the Lost Prairie Boogie once after I'm gone.

Divinfool 0 #6 May 9, 2013 From Sandy's blog.....I could not have said it any better: "Trying to find the quality in life that every day has to offer. In this process, it is better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all".Fear is the thief of dreams..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pchapman 279 #7 May 9, 2013 ChrisD http://santiagorosell.blogspot.com/ An accomplished jet pilot! Bit awkward that he went in at the DZ that initially didn't want to train him a couple years back because of his older age. But plenty of younger guys have gone in too...

paralola 0 #9 May 10, 2013 Like madjohn I meet Sandy at this years SOS record attempt and was impressed with his story about getting his AFF done. I am glad we made a few jumps together in Elsinore and I am so sorry you are gone. Blue Skies SandyAlways happy to fall out of a plane Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
