DSE 5 #2 June 7, 2013 He always had a few minutes to chat about most anything. Was a great guy that often walked over to the DZ from the racetrack, hanging with us, always had a fun story or two. You'll be missed, cowboy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJohnson 0 #5 August 6, 2013 I'm really sorry for the late post to this, but I have not been jumping much the last few years....Please someone tell me is this Higgy? The coolest laid back cat I met at LP years ago? If so, I am saddened. Peace Bro. Blue Skies. I remember you and what you taught me.

Joelsmom 0 #8 August 14, 2013 No, the posting was for William Higginbotam, Coolidge, Arizona, and not Higgy. Higgy just attended the 2013 Lost Prairie boogie and still has his awesome smile and gentle ways. His wife and grandson David attended wih him.Dropzone observer since August 5, 1999 when my son Joel Atkinson first jumped at Lost Prairie for his 18th birthday.
