carrietoth 0 #1 June 10, 2003 In lieu of a close call under canopy with a friend and the passing of a well known skydiver/DZO, I feel it is time to call everyone together for a safety meeting. After the sun has set, we can gather in a bfr (big friggin' round) in the hangar, eat pizza, drink kool-aid, and have a round table discussion. Throughout the day I will provide index cards for you to anonymously submit a question, concern, scenario, or comment for us to discuss as a group. It will be good to hear replies from perspectives of beginning and experienced skydivers. I will be the first to admit, even though I have over 500 jumps, I still have a great deal to learn. It has been 6 years since I took the first-jump course. I am certain there are probably some procedures and philosophies that have changed since then. I hope you will join us. Lots of love, Carrie Oh yeah, Tippy is getting a bath and haircut on Saturday! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ira 0 #2 June 10, 2003 Carrie, I am there and will supply the Kool Aid for that load of firsts from last weekend. I just got several rounds of Audry's green bottled German Kool Aid. Ira Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squirrel 0 #4 June 11, 2003 Hey, we just happend to be in St. Louis for about a month and hope to jump at your DZ. We work on saturdays, but I would like to come to the meeting...(and jump on Sunday). I was up in Chicago this last week. We travel for work, hit about 20 DZs a year, and the safety varies greatly. By the way...what kind of planes are you flying there? Jonathan & Jenni ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
