Me geeking the camera under canopy.	My good friend Dan Carroll and his son Brian, just before Brian makes his first tandem jump. Dan looks pretty nonchalant . . .

Two more skydiving friends. Philip and Dan'l.	April 25, 1999. Aftermath of Philip's pilot chute in tow malfunction. The "top" of the rig is to the left of the photo. Notice the bridal routing under the closing flaps, loop and pin. This would have never opened. This was packed by a hired packer. I believe this was Philip's first reserve ride.

Dan'l after an exceptionally hard landing that broke several ankle bones. I believe this was on 5/29/99.	Tim, one of Dan'l's co-workers, waits for a lift with Dan'l on his return to skydiving 9/19/99. We all did a 3-way and got in 9 points. Not bad for a guy that sat out the entire summer.

Speaking of summer. As a bubble of warm air lifts off the ground, air can rush inward to fill the void. Sometimes the inrush of air starts to spin and that's when you get a dust devil. The base of this one is just about the same distance as the Super Otter.	This is a particularly good example of a dust devil with a well developed core. The airspeed on the high speed edge of the core is probably around 50 knots. For the scale on this one, look carefully at the base which has just passed over one of Jim Wallace's yellow golf carts.

Paul "Mary Jo" Robinson from the rec.skydiving news group. Down from Byron for the Flyboyz Free Fly Boogie, July 4, 1999. Why the "Mary Jo"? Well, he's been using somebody else's computer to get on the internet and it's just kind of stuck.	Jan Meyer looking exceptionally impish.

Mark Brown, Perris load organizer, AFF instructor and all around good guy.	Nick Effert, one of our friends that has moved to Eloy. We'll miss you Nick.

The New Year's Baby gets ready to make a skydive with photographer Bill Beaver.	Where the heck are the results from the World Meet?
