steve1 5 #1 January 20, 2005 I'm having great fun, .....ever since I figured out how to run my good ole scanner. Artwardo included a water jump picture last year (showing his great looking legs), so I thought I'd show this one. Actually my legs were and are, so scrawny and white, that even the photographer decided to cut them out. I'm the good looking young feller on the right. (about 30 yrs. ago) (But I'm still damn good looking).....Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve1 5 #2 January 20, 2005 John Ward is in the middle. He was one of the most respected members of our club. Former Green Beret and all around good guy. He was in a car wreck in the latter 70's and he never was the same. Serious brain damage. He is still alive someplace in the South. We all have great memories of Wardsy. The other guy (on the left) was the Grandson of a former Governor. He competed in the Olympics in the early day luge event. He did some movie stunt work in at least one James Bond movie. He later became a very successful buisness man. He then went to the big house for a long stretch, and lost it all. Maybe we shouldn't give his real name. A few old timers may reconize the picture.....Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve1 5 #3 January 20, 2005 This was back in the days when just a wet suit top was considered good enough for floatation gear. We jumped into Flathead Lake that day. It's one of the biggest fresh water lakes in the Northwest. One of the guys jumping that day (Tom Kaiser) wore swim fins and no floatation gear. He missed the whole lake. That must have hurt! I think that's why we drank so much beer back then. (To kill the pain after a hard day of jumping)....Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve1 5 #4 January 20, 2005 John was the only guy in our club (if I remember right) who had one-shot capewells. If you look close at his pig rig, I think you'll see no loops to pull under the covers. Do these look like one shots to you?? I'm relying on my memory here. The thought of one shots scared me! I always thought of piggyback systems as death rigs (back then). Actually I looked up to those who jumped them. Wardsy and Bill Blair were the only two that I recall jumping them, in our club......Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,545 #10 February 9, 2005 There are times when I miss being a female skydiver in the 70's. Baggy shorts hanging down just don't look the same Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why do you think I finally broke down and bought some glasses recently. I can get by without a hearing aide and dental work, but I need to see....Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
