"Jim... thanks for the advice I really appreciate it ... I began my skydiving adventure at Bardstown on a tandem with Shawn and Jeff flew the camera... everyone there was so nice to me and my family that day I decided to learn more... Skydiving is a great community of which to be a part...I dive at TSS and Larry is super to me and my son Josh (he is 25 and has cerebral palsy) Larry and the guys treat him like everyone else and that is a very good thing indeed... he loves to just go and hang at the DZ... everyone there and Jeff as well speak highly of you man... so I really do appreciate the help and the time you give me... Have read articles and talked with people who tell me that at some DZ's low number jumpers like me (@35) are treated poorly... NOT the case at my DZ or Bardstown... nor... I am sure at yours...it is a very cool thing to have people like you, Jeff, Larry and all (and I do mean all) the guys at my DZ to treat me and my son so very well... it is exciting to be a part of this... you guys are great ambassadors for the sport... keep up the good work... and yes you know I will be coming back to you for advice. Hope to get over to your DZ this summer and have you open the door so I can get out ... damn I do love exits [grin] Thanks again Jim"
