Georger I will gladly set out as long as the thread is productive and accurate. BUT, I will not keep my mouth shut when I am attacked or made fun of. If I had not started the 1st thread -this thread WOULD not be here.
Georger - I believe even Blevins will promise NOT to pipe up about trivial things as long as there are NOT myths being promoted on the site and you are not bashing his suspect or mine.
Give it a try. I haven't seen you post ANYTHING of value lately. Could it be you have run out of ammunition and just want to poke sticks thru the cages at the animals....because that is all you do lately - poke either Blevins or some other poster. YOU get a conversation going that everyone can contribute to - and NOT attack the subjects you do not support and see what happens.
Give it a try or this thread is going down...and it won't come back...I see the hand-writing on the wall. Then there will be NO where for you and others to go and play with the theories or to introduce valid research and discuss it.
GIVE IT A TRY.
Try to post without making fun or bashing other posters and this could be productive for you and everyone.
QuoteCredit where credit is due. Carr did not help start the forum on dropzone. It was Jo Weber. If you go back to the very beginning about half of the early posts were hers. She gradually drew in lots of other posters including Carr.
Thank you for that. I sure do NOT want Carr getting credit for starting the thread - which if anyone were to read the 2 threads they would know. Also I had NOT a CLUE what I was doing in the DZ. There was a thread before the first one that I went to and ASKED for some help and then they helped me set up the thread. I do not know how or remember how it was done. I just know a lot of people pitched in and help on the DZ.
It was a thread in history and trivia I went to asking and pleading for someone to help me find some old timers I could talk to or that might remember something about all of this.
THAT post is where it all started!
If I am correct the first post I made was in a thread I did not start, but they were discussing Cooper.

Hi Harry,
About a week after the heist, I got a call from Personnel (I worked for a US agency) asking me to come over. Once there I was directed to a room where this guy was sitting. He got up, closed the door and introduced himself as a FBI agent.
He then proceeded to grill me on where I was, what I knew, did I have any idea on who it might be, etc, etc.
Once he decided that it wasn't me we had a great conversation; he was actually quite friendly. The one thing I remember him saying was that they (the FBI) did not have a clue as to who DB was.
That was one interesting hour of my life,
Jerry

Jerry, this is Jo Weber and this is my story:
I would really like to talk to you in person or by phone, but don't know how to do that due to forum rules.
Folks, I need your help. I need to find out about skyjumpers in Georgia and S.C. and AL in 1968-1971. My handle tells the story - I am a 66 yrr old widow of a man who claimed he was D.B.Cooper or as he put it Dan Cooper. I have no knowledge of skyjumping, but when we were in Colorado we went into the mountains and there were jumpers jumping off of the cliffs - I don't remember what it was called, but that is not important. What is important is that he told me everything that they were doing and why they were doing it - this was in 1978 or 1979 and he was over 50 yrs of age at that time.
It was not until his deathbed confession that I understood why he knew all of this. Now after 12 yrs of research I hope I have found the place that can help me. I am not sure where he learned to skydive, but he did - he kept something called a D-ring which was bought off of me at a garage sale after he died and the man paid me a quarter for it and told me what it was...I didn't know the significance of the item because I did not understand what he was trying to tell me in 1996 when he die nor did I know who Dan Cooper was.
The purpose of this post is HOW DO I FIND RECORDS OF JUMPERS FROM THAT TIME FRAME IN THOSE AREAS AND/OR PHOTOS OF JUMPERS FROM 1968 TO 1971? Can anyone help me? The FBI has not been of any help at all although they did take his DNA almost 4 yrs (MARCH OF 2003) ago after I had gone public, just to keep me quiet.
My old puter crashed and I am having the photos pulled off next wk. I would like to circulate the photos of him from various times in his life to skyjumpers to see if anyone can recognize this man.
My research of 10 feet deep is detailed and does everything except put him in a parachute. This is the one thing that will end this. This man I was married to for 17 yrs had been in 6 federal prisons in 7 states for a total of almost 17 yrs before I met and married him. I did not know of his criminal past and we had a good marriage.
I found an old alias he used on an article from a Mr. Echo - the name was Claude Webber. This was a known alias of Duane L. Weber, Dwayne Weber and Webber, John Claude Collins, John C. Weber, and many other variations. of Collins and Weber. I need to know if this Claude Webber in N.C. could have been Duane.
So many facts about the crime itself have been distorted - such as the location he landed in. Due to an error in the vector cause by the winds he landed much further SE of the search location. The weather conditions have also been distorted. It was bad weather only for a few seconds - the ground temperature was in the 40's and kids were camping and fishing the next morning as the search was conducted and this search area was further north than the area he landed in. I have an actual weather detailed report of the weather conditions and flying conditions from the time of the crime.
Can anyone help me with any information regarding others who may have been interviewed and the fact that I am looking for skyjumping history from 1943 while he served in the Navy and was stationecd in Jax, Fl. The Navy and Army will not reveal any detail information to me - other than the standard forms.
The Army came up "Access Denied" Classification Code Required. The man got the code and then told me that I was not listed as a relative - I told him of course not as I was only 3 yrs old at the time.
Duane was 17 yrs older than I. They never sent me any detail information about his time in the service.
Folsom and SanQuentin and McNei Island federal Prison had fire jumpers due to the shortage of manpower due to the war - and used prisoners. I can get no information of any of that. Duane had told me he had Ranger training - of course I thought he meant forest ranger - ranger meant nothing else to me. o the DZ was this:
====================
BACK to the present: What can I say - I have learned a lot since that first post in the DZ! The basics of the story never changed and infact reading that post caused me to remember something I said then, but had long long since forgot.

I disagree with this statement. Suppose tomorrow a new person posted up here with 100% definitive proof on who was DB Cooper. I mean irrefutable evidence
The odds of that happening with YOU here is very
very low -
Nobody is going to dip ther good evidence in shit.
In my opinion, you have fouled Dropzone for a long
time to come. There has been discussion.
Jo also -
There really is a limit to what people will put up with.

Total nonsense! Where do you guys come up with
total nonsense like this -
Ckret brought himself and a few others here (after a
number of discussions) specifically BECAUSE OF THE
SKYDIVER and PILOT community here; because
parachuting and the flight path are central in the DB
Cooper case.
Ckret wanted the opinions of the skydiver and pilot
community here.
This is stated clearly in the thread if you and others
would bother to READ THE THREAD as opposed to
making stuff up to make yourselves look important.
And following Ckret's departure here several people
were asked to stay here ... or at least monitor this
website.
Those are the facts whether you and Blevins and
Weber like it or not.
Jo Weber had absolutely nothing to do with Ckret
and others coming here, in fact at first people came
here thinking they could operate here in spite of Jo
Weber being here, but that was not to be, and she
did play a role in people leaving and closing down
the fact-giving at this website. And that is a fact.
Those are the facts.

Ah, come on John, just join in the fun

I am not into the technology - I am here for information because this is the best place to get that information. TEACH me the lingo, tell me anything you think I need to know.
I am DEAD serious. I am here to learn.
A Mr.Eco mentioned a diver number 92 by the name of Claudia Webber N.C. Do any of you have the accessibility to find out who this man was. He was listing divers from the 60's/70's and this is why I am here for the duration. CLAUDIA WEBBER N.C.
This is a name that Duane L. Weber AKA DB Cooper used during his criminal yrs. Since he was known to use variation of Webber and the fact that his father's name was Claudia and other identification I have in my possession also uses Claude and Claudia. Also known as John Claudia Collins, John C. Collins, Dwayne Webber, Wayne Weber and the list goes on.
I know he was in North Carolina and South Carolina during the yrs 1968 thru 1971 off and on. Lived in Columbia for sometime. Frequented piano bars or any place that would let him sing. Had a voice like Englebert Humperdink and sang the following songs SanFrancisco and You'll Never Know, were his favorites if the piano player could play them.
Please see if you can help me. You guys have access to more than I do. The FBI has just sat on it hauches and also took credit (on a TV program) for reseach and information that I and a news journalist provided to them.
They retrived DNA from me in March of 2003, but I have not heard anything and they never returned the items. I was not foolish enough to give them all that I had.
