dterrick 0 #4 January 24, 2004 Um, wow, Bill.... that IS quite a list of old timers. You now have me wondering about the early days of the sport and when people really strted to pursue licenses. Given that you are D-41 perhaps you could share the motivation of the early folk? What did getting a 'D' mean when (I'm not even gonna guess) you got yours? Obviously, RW had not yet been invented ... Could I also presume that your time spent reviewing old logbooks means you're (still) on the path to recovery and thinking about your past and future jumps?

chuteless 1 #7 January 24, 2004 When typing out the list, I forgot to separate the Canadian and USA jumpers. The list therefore alternates with Glen Masterson D-1 Canada, then Dave Burt B2 USA, then a Canadian, then an American and so on. Sorry for the failure to keep the lists separate.

The reason I'm resurrecting this ancient thread is because I googled Steve Sutton just out of curiosity and ended up linked to Bill's list above. Brings back a lot of memories. I first started hanging around skydiving when I was 14 and went to the DZ at Baldwin Ont. in the summer of '66. My sister was a jumper and I went every weekend, ended up packing chutes, ficheting (sp?) at events and trying to stay out of the way. Started jumping when I was old enough. Anyway, just dug out my old logbook, and I got: Nat Pond, US D69 Barry Brand, CAN E1 Floyd Martineau, CAN D2 Buzz Bennet, D71 Rudy Jambrich, D17 Like Bill, I had a hard time making out some names. D91 and D74, take some penmanship lessons guys! In retrospect, I regret not getting a D1, but Glen was charging 5 buck for them, the mean old bugger. I shoulda got my sister to ask him. Was in and out of the sport for some years after that and ended up blowing out my knee in an unrelated incident, and had to retire with a mere 31 jumps. Of course that was back when men were men and parachutes were made from discarded fish net. With todays canopies I could probably jump again even at my age. COUGH*wimps*COUGH Anyway, reading this brought back great memories of the summers of '66 and '67. Bill was around then, and at that age I really looked up to those guys; they were giants. Bill, if you're reading this, you still owe me an air mattress from when you threw a firecracker across the campfire and blew a hole in mine.

Spent a few days with him while he was training AFF Instructors here at Skydive Utah this past summer. On one jump Jay was sitting right in front of me spotting. The door flew open on the T-Bone, his head went out and came back in and he shouted right in my face, "cut", then "your gonna get wet!" and he was gone. We (a threeway) climbed out right after and launched. To our surprise as we fell down the hill, it was soon evident that we were falling through a hail storm. We could see the ground the entire time, but damn it stung like hell. We hung in there, throwing looks at each other of "this sucks a big one". A very memorable but painful skydive.
