JohnMincher 1 #76 February 24, 2010 Hi DRJUMP, I've also got a log book with a 22 man star over Cleveland dated March 17, 1974. I've even got the manifest for the DC3 on that day. I ran the drop zone. This wasn't the first 20 man in Texas, though. That one was in Caddo Mills on June 10, 1973. That one is in my book, too. I don't remember any big ways in Magregor. We made several team 8 ways on Kalidoscope. I'm the guy with the mustache in the black jump suit on the left. What is your name? We have a reunion coming up on April 17th if you are interested.

JohnMincher 1 #77 February 24, 2010 Hi Jim, I just found this website, so I'm a little late replying. (3 years late!) I'll take a stab at naming everyone. It's definately the Valley Mills team that won first place in Z-Hills, Fl in about 1970 or 71. Starting upper left and going clockwise: David Arrington, RIP, Ron Cox, Jack Peck, Phil Mayfield, "Dirty Fred" Grant, Greg Hackett, Gary Lewis, and I think, Charlie Waters. These guys were the core of RW competition in Texas. Four of these remained as the team evolved through the next several years of Texas #1 team dynasty and big way dives through 79 or 80. I was part of them as the Texas Team and Kalidoscope. Great times. Great brothers. John Mincher SCR 422 john.mincher@yahoo.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrSkydiver 4 #78 February 24, 2010 Hey Hooper, I can identify all of them: David Arrington, Ron Cox, Jack Peck, Phil Mayfield, "Dirty" Fred Grant front row: Charles Waters, Gary Lewis, Gregg Hackett It is not Z-Hills but V-Mills (I wonder where we stole that name) Gregg Hackett SCR-589 SCS-66 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrSkydiver 4 #79 February 24, 2010 BTW It was '71 that we won Z-Hills which led to the first 10 Nationals in '72. I believe it was the top 3 teams from Z-Hills and Elsinore that qualified for the Nationals. Gregg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlowHDRider 0 #82 March 2, 2010 Ok, the DC3 might have been Gary Lewis's that was jumped at Cleveland AKA Mushroom Mecca. I think the 3 went to Telequah for that meet.: Mike "Smitty" Smith, John Mincher, Greg Hackett, Phil Mayfield, Ron Cox, more to follow....Sandy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
