     As some of you "oldtimers" may recall, there used to be a guy named
Dane Meyer who read and posted stuff on net.rec.skydiv until his mean ol'
bossman pulled his plug.  I have continued to correspond with him via direct
mail, forwarding stuff from the net, etc.  We had planned to meet and jump
with each other at the USPA Nationals Boogie this year, but at the last 
minute he had to cancel his plans because his wife was experiencing severe
"morning sickness" (she's expecting, obviously).  When I returned from the
Boogie, Dane asked me to tell him all the gory details of my trip, so of
course I complied.  It occured to me that I may as well not waste all that
typing, so I'll start posting my tales, and his responses, over the next
several days.  Actually, I'll start with a letter from him that was waiting
in my mail box when I returned...

     P.S.  Please excuse the "personal" nature of these letters and tales.
I don't have time to retype them for a "generic" audience...
