Well, from the size of this note file, I'd say that we are a minority.

But that won't spoil my fun. I had no idea what the realm of skydiving
really was until my first jump last Sunday on July 21st.

I was out with Bob McClatchey and his small school in Danville, IL at the
Vermillion county airport. 

He charged $75.00 for the whole day of classes and the first jump.

We used surplus t-tens (dash-ones) to jump with and some other kind
as a reserve. 

I really had fun. Although I wasn't sure about the hanging-from-the-strut-
stuff right at the beginning, especially at 3000 feet. But the fear passed
and the jump went without harm to me or the chute.

If any one ever reads this note, you should try a jump sometime. You get
full mental preparation(the most important stuff) and all the gear you
need for the first jump. It's a blast.
