Up, Up and AWAY!


Several years ago, Nick challenged Steele to go skydiving with him on his 60th birthday.  Steele said "sure" but figured that Nick would forget when the time came.   Not so...when  Steele turned 60, Nick reminded Steele about his "promise" but Steele said "No way!"  So imagine our surprise several months later when we got a call from Steele saying he had gone sky diving!  Steele was in Nevada on a business trip with "Breitling" and they offered to take him skydiving, so Steele jumped!  (I am glad he told me about it AFTER he went!)  He said he was nervous, but not nearly as nervous as he was when he climbed the Grand Teton!  Here are some fun pics of the jump!
By the way, the lady who jumped before Steele..... her chute didn't open! Luckily the second one did!

The calm before the storm...
Ready...
Set...

GO!
Free falling!


Pulling the chute
Getting ready to land
Safe and sound!
