Johanna Report post Posted April 9, 2016 Some of you may have heard that long time friend and LW supporter Barry King was in a skydiving accident and broke his back. He is home with a couple of screws holding him together, and is expected to make a full recovery, but I'm sure he hurts like the dickens right now. Please give him your best wishes and good thoughts while he's healing. I don't think his wife is going to be encouraging him to jump out of any more planes, but he said it was a real rush until the landing. ~J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sos Report post Posted June 8, 2016 Hopefully Barry, you are doing better - I had to stop sky diving after my 7th broken rib. It is an incredible rush - the friendships & interesting people you meet doing it create a culture all of it's own too. It's addictive. I'm looking forward to buying some of your tools at some point, perhaps I should now before they become rare Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
