NickDG 23 #1 February 21, 2013 I went on my Meals on Wheels delivery route yesterday with a first time volunteer and we were chatting when she asked what brought me to California. I told her skydiving and she said, wow, my grandfather was killed skydiving. So thinking I might have known him I asked his name. Turns out she is Bob Buquor's granddaughter! Her Mother was just four years old when Bob was killed and neither of them knew much, if anything at all about Bob. The Mom did attend a Starcrest event in Bob's honor but that's all. I'm looking to put them in touch with anyone who actually knew (or jumped with) Bob. So please let me know if you can think of anyone. NickD :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldwomanc6 52 #3 February 22, 2013 That's cool! Skydiving is such a unique community, that it brings people who have never jumped together with those who have. Even though they never met before, there is an immediate connection. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cutaway1 3 #6 April 9, 2013 I knew and jumped with Bob at Arvin. Al Paradowski is a regular on this forum and knew him even better. Best, TimSCR-21 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
