I was stationed at Ft. Hood about the same time late 1961 through mid 1963, along with about five other guys I was TDY at the club house, a group of lived there and trained students, I acted as operations officer for the club arranging time off for the teams to attend demonstrations and competition events where ever we were asked to come. If you have one of those post cards Ritchie had made up I'm the little skinny person on the far left of the HU1B. It would be nice to here from some of the club members, or wouldn't it be nice to have a reunion?

I definitely am not one of the pioneers, but first jump in 68 at Ft Rucker with a double-L made in 1945, cost me 30 bucks with container. Stayed with the sport for 30 years before giving it up. Jumped with many clubs and in different countries building to over 3K jumps. Ft Bragg, Hood, Benning, Devens, Steward, and Europe, Mannheim, Sweinfurt and others. Love to hear from someone that jumped with me during those years. About to go make another jump with my grandson who is doing a tandem for his 17th birthday.
