John and Liannnnimal.... grrr :) I for myself and on behalf of my other family, just want to say a BIG honkin Tonkin LOSER rockin~rollin THANKS to you for everything this weekend on YOUR VERY special day and for everything you TWO do for us jumpers and friends on a daily basis! DZOs dont always have it easy, there is and can always be ALOT of stress around one, but YOU John are so cool about glitches small or BIG and that makes ME and I think I can speak for the rest of us LOSERS so very frickin comfortable around our home base of "RashInterNash" Flatville, Illinois... SoI doff my hat to you "TWO as 1" now and forever!!! :)
My Ellie loves Her DZ family so much, and She is bustin at the seams for Her "FIRST SL" sometime around the 6th of next month for Her VERY special day of Her birthday.... EVERYONE makes Her feel so comfortable here, which makes it so easy for Her, Kelly (Mom) and dannydan himself... So a big THANK YOU again to you two and everyone (SHANE~Hector Jordy) else here at ISC!! She loves you all and just wants to helpout and become a SAFE and great SKYDIVER chica.. :) I am looking so forward to flying with Ellie that I am almost choke up daily just thinking about our future in the AIR together!!!
So thank YOU John, Lianne, Shane, Hector, JORDY, DEEbabe, MikeW, MikeW, and everyone else that I am not mentioning here that will or already has crossed Ellies path in OUR SPORT!!!
GODBLESS you ALL and all of us! Because we are all very special peeps....
dannydan :DD
But what can I say... Seems like everything has gone off and OUT without a hitch... HELL, not even a sniffle!! Ellie has 15 jumps under Her belt now and thanks to some wise thinking family members here, the tandem jump seems to have worked for Her arch/stability issue!! WooHoo and freakin YIPPEE!! Shane, Terry, Hector, Liannimaallllll (grrrrrrh) and John, you guys ROCK when it comes to STUDENTS! I am so fricken appreciative of the fact that you all have the STUDENTS best intrests at heart and COMMIT to them everything you have and or will research for answers to even the littlest detail of a dilima that a student may be having! When She saw me dive exit from the V position on Her and Terrys tdm jump (Her jump#14) and all went well with that jump and her arch and all, Ellie was commited to doing that same exit with Shane on her subsequint jump (15) because She just HAD to! Her confidence just shot through the Illinois atmosphere!! She is so pumped at perfecting her freefall skills now that it is hard for me to bring our subject sport up becuase she just gets all happy and wants to talk my head off and thanks me on a daily basis for me starting our sport some years ago.... What I don't get to accomplish in the rest of my jumping career, She WILL get to with more technique and enthusiasm than I had ever thought of for me!!..
So AGAIN, I just need to express my sincere gratitude to EVERYONE involved with Ellies jumping education... Its "priceless" in my book!
God Bless and BSSL!
