usedtajump 1 #3 July 2, 2006 Yeah, I've often wondered the same thing. When I started out jumping in Dallas, Sammy was jumping at Seagoville then shortly after departed for CA. The first time I ever went to Perris, I knew no one there but Sammy and he got me on some loads I'd never have gotten on otherwise.The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

rapter 0 #4 July 2, 2006 I talked to hi a couple of years ago, saw him at a gas station here in Lancaster, still had that old black Ford. And was still working for GE, GE moved the test faciltiy from Mojave to Victorville so he might have moved out that way, But thats just a guess, he might have even retired by now, He said he wasn't jumping much made a few somewhere in the Mid-West where he started. Only the good die young, so I have found immortality, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutinbutdust 0 #7 July 13, 2006 That could very well be. I think he was originally from the Oklahoma area. I first met him at Bob Alspaugh's dz in Stroud Ok around 1977(? memory from that time is a little fuzzy) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B.B. 0 #11 July 19, 2006 I'm hurt.......I thought for sure Sammy would reply.....hmmmph.....I remember Sammy landing out at Coolidge once and when we went to pick him up he had to cross an arroyo rushing with rain water, he had to carry his gear over his head, we really teased him about the fact he should be used to that. He was a great sport. Swoopin, my first jump was in Hutch back in 82. Did you know the Hrdlicka bros? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
