| Nate has been a Skydive friend for a long time. The first time his name shown in my log book (#1, by the way) is on 26 Aug. of 2000, on my jump #89. That doesn't mean that we hadn't made loads together earlier & it surely doesn't mean that that was the first time that we partied. What it does mean is that this man & I, Oldskydiver/Randall have a long history together. We've been on dozens of loads & many of the same formations over the years. It was sad for me when he left to "seek his fortune" & it is a good thing for me, that having found something like that, Nate came back to my DZ. |
