Hey Scott,

Who's going to organize this?

Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Hey Scott,

Who's going to organize this?

16-way. Sounds like a job for a WT '06 guy.

...

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Doug Glover will likely organize, Larry from the WT '06 is also involved.

How many potential participants do we have so far?

Skydiving and the reasons people do it are as complex as the sport itself.I think skydiving is
a noble endeavor worthy of what we go through to be a part of it.

I would think it would be hard to get anyone to commit until there is a date set or announced.

I agree. I would love to show up for this, but need a solid date to see if it is going to interfere with my moving schedule.
