Kimberleysdad

I have never had the pleasure of meeting Lee but when my daughter was in a plane crash in Sillivan Missouri, a skydiving friend organised a birthday post for Kim and Lee was one of the very kind and generous people who sent their wishes. I read a few posts by Lee and was a bit dubious about my daughter going on a jump with Lee but as I learnt more about Lee through his posts and the posts of his friends after the tragic event, I know there would have been no safer place on earth for her than with Lee. I will raise a nice cold Fosters in Lees memory Down Under.

I had a friend who went to a weekend motor race (Bathurst) with a group of guys he didnt know. they had arrived, set their tent up in the camp ground, cooked some food and then sat around the camp fire drinking beer. My friend said to the guy next to him have you ever seen what happens if you put an unopened can of beer into a fire. He then slipped a can into the fire without anyone seeing him do it. The can cooked off and then there was an explosion on par with the atomic bomb at Hiroshima. The fire was blown into a thousand places seeting a number of fires in tents and other camp sites. My friend and everyone else sitting around the fire were temporarily deafened by the explosion and the last sight my friend saw as he ran out of the camp ground was a number of people trying to put out thousands of spot fires.

When my daughter, Kimberley was involved in an accident a couple of years ago in Missouri, the sky diving community opened its heart to us when we came over from Australia. One of the people who showed us so much love and support was Jose. My now son-in-law, wouldnt leave Kimberleys side while she was in hospital. Jose convinced Micah that he needed a break and took hum for a float down a river. That was typical of Jose's nature. If you guys want to have the ultimate freefall, find a way to jump into the depth of love and care that you all exhibit. That is without end.
