Hi All, The dates for the Pepperell boogie are 8/12-16 (Wed-Sun) and yes the CASA is coming! It's always been held the third weekend in August, but since there are five weekends in August this year it's early. Peace, Stacey (manifest)

I'm in and will be alone as usual. Probably be cleaning the house and trying to figure out why I'm invisible to men. Peace, Stacey

I'm stuck on Level 12....any ideas/hints?

Bus info (rates, schedules, etc): http://frontpage.concordtrailways.com/boston_express.htm We offer free pick-up and drop-off from the terminal at Exit 6. If possible please call ahead and let us know what time you're arriving. Peace, Stacey manifest

Sorry 'bout that! Here they are (it's not letting me make clickies for some reason): Video by DSE: www.vimeo.com/1222870 It's a Hi-Def video so if you don't have a fast connection, it won't stream smoothly. Just let it buffer. Pix by Scotty Burns: www.sky2productions.com/component/option,com_expose/Itemid,58/ Click on the “Pepperell WS Bootcamp” album. Our boogie is 8/21-24 if you want to see the plane(s) in person! Peace, Stacey

Did you get the PM I sent you a while back with links to some pics and vids?

Seeing as all his previous jumps were on rounds and belly mounted reserves he did the full ground school

Two summers ago at Skydive Pepperell, a gentleman came back after a 41 year layoff. He had made about 100 or so jumps in the early '60s and then stopped for work and family. He's 71 now, and still in great shape. Good on him for coming back!
