Yo Zing – I have the original negative for this Pic of you in the Skydive AZ DC-3 taken at Coolidge back in the 80’s! Contact me if you want it…It would make a great post print. Nice to see you actually liked it enough to put into your blog. I vaguely remember giving you a print… BSBD – “Sandra” https://www.facebook.com/sandra.ramey?ref=bookmarks
Would love to have it. Sorry about the slow reply. Was out of town for a couple weeks.
It’s an AWESOME pic and I am so glad you responded! I will be honored to give it to you! Here’s my email. Send me a message with a mailing address; ramey_sandra@yahoo.com.
Hey, are you Bob Engstrom who moved ND to AZ and skydived at either Coolidge or Casa Grande in mid to late 70’s? If so, howdy. Jean Laskey
I am, indeed. Tucson was never the same after we all moved down there. How are you Jean? Would love to hear from you. I understand Skydive Fargo gave you my phone number. Please give me a call. Bob
