jackcupp 0 #26 August 6, 2009 Hi Richard, Good to hear from you. I'm sure we did jump together, I was all over Calif also. I lost my log book also, third divorce hassle. Been married 23 years now though, going great. Apx 65 or 66 I slowed down a lot on jumping. I went back to flying, bought a T6, used to fly to the drop zones, made a few jumps. Then I built a Midget Mustang flew it to the drop zones, then a Howard, just a family plane. I'm still flying, in between planes now, may build one. I spoke to John De Santis the other day. He's still going at it. Regards, Jack D84 602-516-0362 xoomup@gmail.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ArvinAlP64 6 #34 January 19, 2015 Hi Don, My first jump instructor signed my logbook: "Ed Duncan, C201, D53" at Elsinore, CA on June 23, 1963. The list of D license holders shown in this thread has two "Edmond C. Duncan"s, one from TX (D-37) and one from CA (D-53). I'm just wondering if there are actually two "Edmond C. Duncan"s in the under-100 D licenses. I've never seen a conversation discussing this coincidence or distinguishing one person from the other. Do you happen to know if your Ed Duncan worked at Elsinore in 1963? Or if he practiced for the first six-man at Arvin, CA in August of 1964? Thanks, Al Paradowski SCR 002 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drjump 0 #35 January 20, 2015 The Ed that I know--D-37--Did a lot of jumping in Ca. back in the 60's. He is from Tx. and is now retired to Mexico. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spooky52 0 #36 January 21, 2015 D-51, Perry Stevens, now lives in either Green Valley or Grass Valley in northern California. I just saw him at the Northern California Skydivers Reunion back in October. He looks pretty good, except for the eye he lost in an accident with a lawnmower.If you know how many guns you have - you don't have enough! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrbirdmen 0 #37 January 25, 2015 Murphy's Law in action. Yep he lost his eye mowing the lawn just before he packed up & moved from Antioch. Numerous casts but nothing permanent from all the rigs he designed & test pilot jumped his self. I read he was recently inducted as a pioneer for his skydiving innovations in the USPA. A most deserved honor! Very glad to hear he's still kickin! If by chance you see or are able to contact him, please tell him that Dick's daughter says HELLO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spooky52 0 #38 January 26, 2015 I do believe Perry has a Facebook page. I wasn't aware that the eye thing was before he moved. I didn't notice it at the 2012 reunion but did this time at the 2014 gathering so naturally I assumed that it had happened recently. Yes, you are correct, Perry was honored for his contributions, especially the reserve static line. He is one of the good ones.If you know how many guns you have - you don't have enough!

scottmyers63 0 #39 August 28, 2018 Maybe you can help a history buff who loves the sport and have a tandem jump to his credit. Looking for any and all information on skydiving champion Judy Simpson, D-334, NY. I saw an article on her back in 1961 or 1962 about her skydiving exploits, including landing on a steer! Email me if you have any info on her, please. Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
