Gainesville

Submitted by Pat Moore D-1814

The University of Florida Sport Parachute Club started out operations in Williston, then moved to Palatka, and later to Gainesville. Gainesville was the site of a number of Florida Parachute Council competitions in the early seventies. The photo on the right shows someone who couldn't tell if he was coming or going. Middle image on the left: I had just won the Accuracy event with seven straight dead centers on a PC. Do you recognize a young Bill Booth behind me? The bottom photo is of my good friend Dave Henson who spearheaded operations for the club for a number of years.
