ONE JUMPED, ONE GLIDED
Two good friends, in two very different parts of the world, recently took to the air with the aid of a parachute. Pictured immediately below (on the left, in the yellow suit) is Elaine, whom I had the pleasure of working with at the American Camping Association's headquarters here in Indiana. Elaine's jump was done in tandem with her sister, who was celebrating her 40th birthday.
Below is a very proud Christoph, a former Boulder roomate now residing in Germany. Coincidentally, on the very same day that Elaine and her sister parachuted from an airplane, Christoph took to the air to try his hand at paragliding. He apparently enjoyed it so much that he glided twice.
My hat is off to both Elaine and Christoph. Way to go you guys. I hope to develop enough nerve to try parachuting and paragliding myself someday.
