Middle of the night,dark as hell,looking down and seeing the main power lines feeding the town of Joliet,Ill. and surrounding area.........I started cursing the pilot,the jump master and any others that came to mind..........I was drifting right toward them and my T10 parachute couldn't help my effort to miss them........I landed in the middle of those power lines which were on each side of me and thank JC for protecting me on that jump ............ Closest I ever came to being fried..........

I believe that SF is a 'calling' - not too different from the calling missionaries I know received. I knew instantly that it was for me, and that I would do all I could to achieve it.
