wmw999 2,447 #5 November 23, 2024 D-37, cancelled by USPA. That’d be an interesting story! And Nate Pond was D-69; I wonder why he’s not on the list. Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Wendy, Re: D-37, cancelled by USPA. That’d be an interesting story! I was thinking the same thing. Re: Nate Pond was D-69 I seem to remember his son was D-6969. Re: I wonder why he’s not on the list. That list has a number of voids. The best jumper in the early 60's was Dick Fortenberry, D-38; he is also not there. Who knows how the list was put together.

When Jerry Rouillard worked for USPA, he stayed up to almost midnight processing licenses until D-2000 came up & he grabbed it for himself.
