howardwhite 6 #1 February 11, 2007 "Handsome Dave" DeWolf was presented the Parachute Industry Association's highest award last Thursday in Reno -- the Don Beck Memorial Achievement Award. The award (picture attached) honors "achievements which have withstood the test of time." He was presented the plaque by Dan Poynter, last year's winner. If you don't know Dave, you can get some of the flavor of the man in the recent thread noting his 12,000th jump: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2517480;search_string=dewolf;#2517480 HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
