  10. I can't believe you called Ouzo nasty. Doc A was my mentor. A very good Chiropractor, wonderful man, good jumper, and a great pilot (when it came to flying jumpers). He had a little problem with cross country flying.
  11. Prior to the jump at the astrodome he came to Houston Parachute Service and bought a new pair of Adidas boots just for the show. He gave us free passes to the show. He was raised to the top of the dome in a small gondola on a wire cable. As he stepped off of the edge to gondola pushed backwards upsetting his balance for a perfect launch. He had planned to do half a front flip and land flat on his back on the airbag. Impact was more on his shoulders and the back of his head. Shortly after someone came and got me out of the VIP box that he had arranged and said that Dar wanted to see me in the dressing room. He needed a chiropractic adjustment! All was well.
  12. I thought the most hazardous part was driving to and from the drop zone. Have I been wrong all these years?
  13. Sounds like you may have subluxated C-1 vertebrae. Visit a Chiropractor for an exam and adjustment. Correct the cause of the headaches and save the pills for recreation..
  14. @ Wendy--Spaceland, I'd recognize those power lines anyplace.
  15. That is great Nick.. I'm glad you are helping MOW. I have been with out local Meals on Wheels program for about 15 years. Who said skydiver don't care?
