BillyVance 34 #2 February 24, 2010 This could be interesting.... Hey NickG! Wanna take bets on whether this award goes to a deserving recipient or will it be a "parting" gift for service?

CSpenceFLY 1 #3 February 24, 2010 Hell,I'll take one. Doesn't matter which one. Hell, give me a Nobel Peace Prize too. On second thought, keep the prize I just want the cash. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alabamaskydiver 0 #4 February 24, 2010 I nominate MatthewCline, BillyVance, Cspencefly and Jumpdude for their dedication and diligence to our sport by getting the 1 800 Skyride/ASC/AST/Thrill Planet (etc) criminals out and educating the public about our sport and how to avoid being scammed by the crime being perpetrated upon our sport and others by Cary Quattrocchi's companies.

BillyVance 34 #5 February 24, 2010 You left out a few more individuals, but thank you for the thought. If anybody deserves it more, I'd throw Jan Meyer, Larry Hill, Betsy Barnhouse and John Hall in the mix too.

BillyVance 34 #6 February 24, 2010 On second thought, Larry Hill would be #1 in my book to get the next award. He actually called Cary out on his boast "go ahead and sue me, I got more money than God!" And guess what? Larry won! You da man, Larry!

johndh1 0 #12 February 25, 2010 Jan Meyer, most definitely the profile in courage, but that's only in addition to how much more she's done for the sport throughout her life.Roll Tide Roll Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
