deposits and attempt to get everyone the best deal possible on Tandem prices. If you’ve ever considered making a skydive,
this would be a perfect time! Just contact me for more info or send me your deposit check and I’ll get you on the list!
We look forward to seeing everyone!

Since I don't know everyone's screen names, could you e-mail me and tell me who you are? I'm trying to get a count for food so anyone who plans on being there that hasn't posted or let me know, would you mind dropping me a note this week?

I posted the photos that I shot from the memorial on Sat.  These are just some ground shots.  Hopefully Frank or Ron will follow up with some of the shots they took from the air.

The pics are posted at http://picasaweb.google.com/MikeFB2764/JerryWellsMemorial.  Please feel free to use these pictures however you like (just dont sell them!).  The Picasa service (google) allows you to download the photos, so I posted the hi-res versions.  Please note that each photo is about close to 4MB in size (2560x1920) so, depending on your connection speed, it could take some time to download.

The Picasa service only has limited options for ordering prints online.  If you want to order prints online, you can use the services that picasa offers or I have also posted the same photos at KodakGallery.com.  The link to the photos at KodakGallery.com is http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=18pmip77.apnafnwz&x=1&y=ect6ry

KodakGalley.com does not give you the option of downloading the hi-res versions, so if the picasa services or KodakGallery.com are not serivces that you want to use, then I would suggest downloading the hi-res versions and using the photo printing service of your choice.

Please let me know if you have any trouble with accessing the photos on any of these websites or if you have any questions.

Mike

Thank you to everyone who made Jerry's Celebration such a wonderful event! The girls and I really appreciate all you did and for taking the time to come and help us celebrate Jer's life and remember him. Jerry would have loved it.

The Memorial Dive was just perfect. Mike - the pictures are great, thanks so much! Thank you all for coming and celebrating Jerry's life. There just aren't words to express our gratitude.
