Viron

I just posted photos to the Vintage category of the Mother Lode and Antioch jumpers from the late 60's and a few from 1975.

Where do photos that have been downloaded to the site appear? The photos I downloaded with my post are not evident and I don't want to continue until I know I'm using the system correctly or know where to look. thank you. Vi

Hi, My name is Vi and My husband Ron was an active jumper in 1969 at Camanche Sky Park and at Antioch in 1975. I started jumping at the Camanche Sky Park and also later at Antioch in 1975. I have a few photos and many stories from 1969 at Charlie (Chuck) Easterling's Camanche Sky Park when Little David and the Mother Lode Skydivers were there. I also have pictures and stories from a jump into Lost Isle in the Delta in the late sixties. In the pictures are; Gene Ballard, Ron Grinsteiner, Steve Haley, Mike Hopkins, Mel Gall, Joe Vargas and Little David. Sean Tucker was also one of the jumpers. There are others in the photos whose names I've forgotten and hopefully others can identify. Also, I have stories from Amador Lake jumps on Sundays and some Mother Lode outlaw jumps, Especially into the Sutter Creek Cemetery for Vance McGee's memorial. I also have pictures and stories from 1975 at the Antioch airport when Perry Stevens was there. I have a picture of the Antioch Airport as it existed before houses covered it! I have many stories involving Steve Haley who Ron and I kept in touch with over the years when Ron was living. There is a nude jump (no pictures!) a Cal Trans Grand Opening of Highway 205 at Tracy and more. I'm sad to know Steve is no longer living. Ron and I were at Antioch when Norton was there. Norton and I were the ground crew at the Mountain Aire Festival in Angels Camp when Steve Haley, Ron Grinstiner and others tried to form a stack for the festival crowd. More on that later I'll post a few pictures now and then be back with stories. Vi
