Memorial Information from Chad is below: This is to everyone who knew and or loved Jennifer Galbraith. A celebration of life will be held in her honor at her favorite restaurant in the whole world the Black Gryphon in Elizabethtown, PA. 54 Mt Gretna Rd Elizabethtown, PA 17022 (717) 367-1859. It will be held on Friday 9/20/13 starting at 2:00 pm. I invite everyone who knew her to come and share with the rest of us what made her the wonderful person she was. This is going to be an informal occasion with good food, good company, good libations, and lots of stories. Jen did not want a solemn and quiet wake. That was not her as you all know. She wanted people to celebrate her, to talk and tell stories, and most of all raise a glass of good beer or wine or non-alcoholic drink to here in here honor. The will be food and non alcoholic drinks provided and a pay as you go full bar. She will love to see a outpouring of people to celebrate her and so would I. Please pass this on to as many people as knew her. There will be an ash dive for her at a later date to further celebrate her wishes. Thanks, Chad

Regarding the memorial for Jenn, I was informed it will be in a few weeks. There will be a visitation, followed by a life celebration afterwards at another venue for food and drinks. I will post more details as they become available.

I could use some tips from the more experienced jumpers here. What are some things to consider when you're jumping at a new drop zone?? I've only been to a non-home drop zone once, and because I was nervous I ended up reading the wind sock wrong and broke myself on a downwinder. I wanna make sure that doesn't happen again by being prepared. Knowing the winds aloft and ground winds, where the outs and obstacles are...what other stuff should I be thinking when visiting new dzs?
