Every weekend, I get to give the gift of flight to a new bunch of folks. The experiences I've had since I started skydiving in 1978 are indescribable, as is skydiving itself. Sky Diving has to be experienced in order to be understood; words alone, even with photos, won't do it.

Most of our first time sky divers leave with a smile on their faces that they would not have had if not for their skydiving experience. What a neat thing to give someone! Life is just too short not to have as much fun as possible, and when I get older, sitting in the back of life's station wagon looking out the back window and realizing I am nearing the end of the great road, I want to think I have leveraged my contribution to Skydive Orange to touch as many people as possible, well past my own existence, to know the joy shared by Skydive Orangeites.  

I strive for excellence in skydiving instruction while keeping the training fun. I do this primarily by being careful in choosing the best people to be on our staff (I am turning quite a few instructional staff applicants away lately). I think I've done a very good job of this. All our instructors work together quite well for the benefit of the student skydiver in a manner that seems to keep them coming back for more.

I've assembled a team of outstanding skydivers who really care about their students, and fit in with the Sky Dive Orange atmosphere, which is something I hope you'll stick around long enough to experience. I think I can honestly say they are better than professional.

Uncle Ned is a man of many skills. Here he is shown amazing AFF students with his finger-painting skills in a break in the canopy control part of the first jump class.

Incredibly gifted at school, he reached childhood by the time he was four.

Volatile, dominant, highly energized, svelte, acerbic and coruscating are all words that he uses with uncertainty. He is the kind of man who knows what he wants and woe betide the man who tries to understand what he's talking about, who threw up a promising academic career only on the advice of his teachers.

 


A painter, a sculptor, a photo-journalist and a former national swimming champion all live nearby.

Uncle Ned made his first jump in 1978 at New River Valley Parachute Center in Dublin, Virginia.

That's about all we have to say about Uncle Ned, who seems to be the full time telephone answerer around here, and got his start in the phone answering business a very long time ago.
