Happy Anniversary, Steve!

Everyone give a shout out to Spaceland's DZO Steve Boyd, who is celebrating 36 years in the sport today! He made his first skydive on April 28, 1973, under a 28-foot round. His first jumpmasters were Walter "Sky" Huminsky and his dad Darnell Boyd. Sky was here last weekend on the Alpha team for the TSR. How cool is that?

Check out his first logbook pages (is it too late to call beer? ;-)...
