LOCALS SCORE AT NATIONALS
United jumpers fared well at this years National Championship of Formation Skydiving in Perris Valley, California. Janet Kelly Lundquist's team, "Vertical Disparity", took third place in the 8 way competition. "Some of my teammates were disappointed that we didn't get straight 10s across the board," said Janet. "But we're pretty happy with third place."
Another team with local jumpers, "Bev's Bosom Buddies" placed fourth in the 8 way competition. "Some of us were disappointed that they trained exclusively at a dz in Cross Trees, New Jersey," said a local jumper, "But we congratulate them on a fine showing. We love them all. Though I feel that they would have had better Karma if they hadn't been so exclusive in their training.
AEROSTORE MOVES
Bidding fond farewell to Pottstown, Marco and Jill have moved the Aerostore to a new home at United. They occupy what were two stores, one on each side of the Sunflower Cafe. "It's perfect," says Marco. You go in the right door you get gear sales. You go in the left you get rigging. You go in the middle you get burgers."

JOE AND KRISTA NABBED IN THE ACT

Unable to consummate a day of high adrenaline skydiving, Joe and Krista Hadfield found a dark roadside only to be dealt an auto-interruptus by the flashing of a police car's lights. After a fierce frenzy of flying clothing, the couple regained composure for the policeman. Under interrogation Joe confessed, "Last month we got carried away in the middle of dinner. They threw us out of the restaurant."
