   aha!... there ARE people out there after all!  i've received 6 replies
(so far) from interested non-jumpers.
   there are 2 programmer-jumpers at our site (a third left for a new job
last week), and about a dozen active jumpers in town (champaign-urbana, il).
we don't have our own dz anymore (we used to be known as the first church of
skydiving), so we have to travel to "nearby" (~90+miles) dz's: illinois valley
spc near peoria, hillsboro, kankakee, and various places in the chicago area.
we do most of our jumping from 182's, with occasional dc-3/twin otter rides at
boogies.  several of us have pretty much adopted the illinois valley club
despite the travel time; the $4 to 7500' jump rates can't be beat around here.
   have any of you in the toronto area heard of angus rupert?  he was our
"pastor" for several years (he was my instructor) until he went back to
toronto for med school.  since he owned the plane and most of the student
gear, that was the end of the local club.
