CROSS KEYS VISITS UNITED
John Eddowes and friends jumped in to the old timers get together earlier this summer. "It was a beautiful sight, "said one United jumper. "The planes flew over silently at sunset and the jumpers did a nice formation. They even brought beer, which was shared as old and new friends got together." John Archibald was there too, only no one actually saw him land. Rumor was that he drove up from Jersey, hid in the bushes and ran out with his open canopy when everybody landed.
