Today we joined a group of folks gathered at Skydive Space Center at the Arthur Dunn Air Park to help Bob Hamilton celebrate his 85th birthday. He had decided today was a great day to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.
He convinced nine other folks to join him. In this picture Bob is hiding in the back.

03. Shannon Rubin | 07. Cody Schulman | 10. Mark Clapsaddle |
04. Bob Hamilton (hiding) |
There was a lot of socializing while we waited for everyone to arrive and get prepared.
Time to load up.
Those also serve who only sit and watch.
What goes up must come down. The law of gravity remains in effect for another day.
Smooth landings are required for a successful jump.
Somewhere in here Bob Hamilton changed his shirt (was it just his shirt?)
From the Air Park, we went to Mary's house for a birthday party. Our hosts were the Clapsaddles and Hamiltons. Bob calls this his blended family.
Folks enjoyed listening to Joe Reus tell stories from his book about his time as a POW in WWII.
Can't have a party without ...
Bob is already working on something spectacular for his 90th.
It was a great day. Thanks to all for making it happen and for inviting us.
