SKYWHUFFO 1 #1 June 10, 2010 I know this has probably been talked about a million times, but i wanted to ask. Who held D1 license? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,444 #2 June 10, 2010 Lew Sanborn holds D1. Wendy P.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
JohnRich 4 #3 June 10, 2010 It's not "held" as in past-tense, it's "holds", because he's still an active jumper. And his first name is spelled "Lew", not "Lou". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackwallace 3 #4 June 10, 2010 And sometimes he signs your log book D-What?U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler. scr 316 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #5 June 10, 2010 Hmmm, is that for those he knows? I met him once and had him sign mine, it was D-1. It sucks ass that that particular logbook with many of my memorable jumps logged in it was stolen with the rest of my gear and never recovered over 12 years ago.

patmoore 14 #6 June 16, 2010 Lew was my instructor and jumpmaster on my very first jump at Orange on December 2, 1962.DZGone.com B-4600, C-3615, D-1814, Gold Wings #326, Diamond Wings #152.

alexptx 0 #10 October 1, 2011 Just to add something to this list of early D holders. My father was D-9. When those early D numbers where being handed out it came down to who had the cash first to obtain their license (according the what I was told as a kid). Most of them were young guys (early 20's) with families so extra cash was not exactly abundant for them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,362 #20 October 9, 2011 Hi Jim, Some trivia for you. About 15-17 yrs ago I attended the IEEE conference and this company located in Houston, TX had a booth as they made nylon webbing slings and we were looking for some new sources of suppliers for these. So, a few months later, I was in Houston on other business & contacted them about wanting to discuss some business & to see their operation. I walk into this guys office and the first thing he says to me is "My used to be president of USPA.' Whaaat? I had a USPA member sticker on my briefcase and he saw it. Ed Fitch was his step-dad. It sure made a good ice-breaker for my visit. JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobMoore 0 #21 October 9, 2011 Phil Goetsch (D-65) helped Don Yahrling teach an AFF jumpmaster certification course I attended back in the early 90's.

danchapman 0 #22 October 14, 2011 D-30 Allen MacPherson (Brother of Dennis, I believe). Heard he died mid-60's as pilot of a jump plane. D-79 Jim O'rielly jumped into Normandy as a teenager on D-Day, was my mothers JM at Tri-State in '61. D-136 Geo Gividen, former PCA Ex Director, ran Tri-State, had a wood leg from a war accident, removed it when he jumped. D-183 Mike Hilden was on of several Princeton students that jumped in Jersey, I think Dave Lithgow may have been another. Mike has been a Professor of Advanced Math at U of Hawaii for 30 plus years, very bright guy. Several former Air America guys on this list. Jumped with a few in Mepa Competition, Len Potts, Ed Marler, and a few others. Pop Quiz, where is WHO on this list? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerryBaumchen 1,362 #23 October 14, 2011 Hi dan, Quote where is WHO on this list? Right here: 298 NY William Ottley Now a better question: Can someone put in for D-184?
